Thank you to all the MAGA faithful who represented at the No Kings protests today...for giving us image after image of you being wildly outnumbered by actual American patriots.

Let's get something straight right now. The Minnesota assasinations are not the product of "overheated rhetoric on both sides" or any other such bullshit. This horror is the direct result of Trump's constant vile, violent pronouncements. He has inspired political violence for years.

It’s easy to come off as a radical when you warn people that a racist, sexist, Christofascist movement is pushing for a dictatorship. But the real radicals are the racists, sexists and Christofascists who are pushing for a dictatorship. We’re only describing what’s in front of our eyes.

Fun fact: in the 1960s, Civil Rights protestors were given literal classes on nonviolent protest; they didn't all just spontaneously know what to do. So, if you're planning on showing up, this weekend: read this comic. And if you're staying home, signal-boost it/link it around.

They have been ever so quiet...

As a four-decade veteran of the daily journalism business, let me tell you: Every competent political reporter in this country knows that Trump is trying to establish a dictatorship. The industry's shame is that so few journalists will say so, and the ones who do lose their jobs.

People protesting ICE right now are heroes. They’re putting their own safety on the line for their neighbors. ICE and the law enforcement that line up behind them are cowards who are tearing families apart. It’s that simple.

Elon Musk gutted the federal government, dismantled key institutions, and cut off food and medicine to some of the poorest people on the planet. By leaving DOGE, he’s trying to restore his reputation and rescue his struggling businesses. He should never be allowed to recover.

One Pulse. One Heart. One Love. Today we remember the #Pulse victims, support the survivors & take action for the future. #HonorThemWithAction #NOH8

9 years ago, 49 lives were stolen in a deadly attack affecting the LGBTQ+ community at Pulse nightclub in Orlando. No one should have to fear for their lives when they go out for the night with their friends. We must put an end to gun violence for good.

Not sure why I’m posting this. Perhaps it’s relevant 🤔

I don't know who needs to hear it today, but if you ever wonder if you folded a fitted sheet correctly, just ask yourself this simple question: Does it fit into the space I need to store it without falling out? If yes, congratulations! If no, stuff it in harder. You did it! Now go treat yourself!

Trump wants a nationwide escalation of violence. Don't give it to him. Instead, give him persistent and massive PEACEFUL protest. History has clearly shown that this will defeat Tyrants.

Trump's actions in LA are part of a sustained, multi-pronged attack on freedom of speech, targeting anyone who does not share Trump’s ideology. This amazing article identifies 22 actions taken by the Trump administration that undermine freedom of speech, a must read! popular.info/p/the-state-...

So much this…

Lots of folks are expressing dismay over having to cheer on Gavin Newsom. So remember: We are loyal to the policy, not the politician. Oppose those who do the wrong thing, even when they are otherwise good people. Support those who do the right thing, even when they are loathsome shit weasels.
