🧵I think it’s important to understand what disinformation like Sen. Mike Lee’s tweets are trying to do, psychologically/cognitively. In my disinfo class/Substack, I talk about how disinfo often uses “moral disengagement strategies” to manipulate people into accepting harmful conduct 1/

John Hoffman and Yvette Hoffman were hit by a combined 17 bullets from the Minnesota assassin, and both survived and are now recovering. Yvette shielded their daughter. www.startribune.com/john-hoffman...

Patriot Front crashed Springfield, MO Pride festival. Driving a Penske truck. U-Haul banned Patriot Front from renting their vehicles. It’s time for people to tell Penske to do the same.

The cowardice of the Congressional GOP to not put guardrails on the lunatic in the Oval Office - as they are required to by oath - is overwhelming at times.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

What a crowd this morning. I was HONORED to be there! 🙏 #NoKingsDayProtest #ResistTrump ✊️ @CTStateCapitol

If he actually thinks that. No evidence to support it yet

Important that ICE is pausing most raids on farms, hotels & restaurants but let’s be clear: Trump dn do it to keep families together, honor the dignity of essential workers, or right an egregious wrong. He did it b/c businesses are worried about profit. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

Cuomo bringing out the best of New York. I helped organize this beautiful space, and seeing Lindsay’s daughter crying because this disgusting dirtbag was yelling vile things to her and her mom was deeply sad. That’s to @lindseyboylan.bsky.social and your daughter for the courage.

The reviews are in. www.indy100.com/politics/tru...

A proper headline. Take note, @washingtonpost.com

Amazing turnout and energy in Westchester and across the country. #NoKings

Learn what’s on the ballot in two days!!

This is a United States Senator mocking the assassination of a Minnesota legislator and her husband. He pretends to be a good Mormon. He’s a sick fuck.

A senator celebrating the murder of political opponents should be expelled. Not debated. Not excused. Expelled.

An examination of the consequences of abortion restrictions. A study to test a protocol to prevent HIV transmission. An investigation into why LGBTQ+ adults are dying by suicide. This is the scientific research being lost as Trump cuts NIH funding.

Republicans claim that gender affirming care causes “irreversible psychological damage.” You know what ACTUALLY causes “irreversible psychological damage” to kids? Cutting $300 billion from nutrition assistance programs and ripping immigrant kids away from their parents.

Accused Minnesota killer is captured: www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

So after terrorizing communities and ripping families apart with ICE raids at farms and restaurants, DHS is suddenly “pausing” because of labor gaps? Wild how the war on undocumented immigrants stops the second your rosé doesn’t pour itself and your salad’s missing veggies.

From rural Virginia today....thinking of you, LA... #NoKings

Good night 💤 NO KINGS “The measure of a country is found in how they treat their weakest and most vulnerable citizens. President Jimmy Carter

Murderer’s roommate who also received a text from the killer literally laughed when someone asked if the killer was a Democrat

🤔

I love seeing the massive #NoKings turnouts in major cities, but what I love even more are the hundreds and hundreds of small, rural towns that had relatively bigger turnouts compared to their populations 💙🙏

Mike Lee was born with every conceivable advantage in life. His father was US Solicitor Gen & dean of BYU Law, where Mike went to school. Older brother UT Sup Ct justice. Then he got jobs where family connections certainly help open doors. But he decided he wanted to be Catturd.

Facts matter.

We won’t amplify it, but the president posting that Dems are “sick of mind” and “hate our country” immediately after 2 Dem lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes is the opposite of leadership. Gas on the fire.

I don't have words. I was expecting something big and bombastic, this is America, this is the 250th anniversary of the Army, it should be glorious and have put russia's victory parade to shame. Instead we got this watered down, poorly organised shambles, it was embarrassing.

Scenes from the No Kings protest in Boise on Saturday, June 14. Full story to come early next week. đź“·: @murphywoodhouse.bsky.social

What we learned yesterday. The Times They Are a-Changin'

“If ICE is going to wear a mask in their uniform, then I can.” In August, Nassau County lawmakers passed a bill banning the public from wearing masks. Protesters showed up today masked anyway. We asked them why.

#H-Town #NoKing #NoKingsDay

"This is what you get when you order your 79th birthday celebration from Temu, but didn't pay the tariffs."

Go fuck yourself, Felon #47. #NoKingsDay #FDT

Sen. Amy Klobuchar dined with Melissa Hortman, a Minnesota lawmaker and decades-long friend, just hours before she and her husband were shot and killed in what authorities are saying was a politically motivated killing. “I wish everyone had known her like we knew her,” Klobuchar told POLITICO.

LAPD National Guard has fired tear gas flashbangs and less than lethal projectiles into the crowds that they corralled into a tighter space around the Federal Building.. claim people were throwing rocks and bottles at them I've been watching all day nobody's through s*** at them

When your "strongest ground" turns into quicksand.

Interesting Information! 6/14/2025

“If ICE is going to wear a mask in their uniform, then I can.”

Channeling @booker.senate.gov with this sign #NoKings #MoralMoment

One person was critically injured in a shooting yesterday during a protest in Salt Lake City. No one should fear gun violence—not in their homes, not in their schools, and not while marching in their communities. But shootings like this happen far too often. Our leaders must take action.

I think we got about 3000 people at our rally in #Fargo for #NoKings. We had a street theater performance, live music, and a series of really excellent speakers. It was entirely peaceful. The only “disruption” was exuberant honking from motorists who were supporting us. Go, Fargo!

11 MILLION PEOPLE!! 💥💥💥 Are we nearing the magic 3.5%?? Never forget….WE hold the power. #nokings
