This is a turning point. This is the line we draw. This is the moment history will remember — when millions stood together to say NO to Trump, Vance, Vought, Theil, and all the corrupt cronies and cult. Follow the movement. Learn what comes next. Join us at FiftyFifty.One. #FiftyFiftyOne #NoKings

Our military deserves better than this empty charade. Yikes. The tank squeaking over silence is incredible.

Brian Gavidia told us he was stopped by a Border Patrol agent in Montebello and despite telling him he was American, was pushed against this fence. He said he gave his real ID to the agent and never got it back. Here’s video his friend took www.latimes.com/politics/sto...

"How many generals and admirals have you fired?" Secretary of Defense (4 months into the job): “I don’t know”

Today’s the day fam. Here’s a few tips for a successful outing! 1. If you’re in the DMV area, don’t be. Head out to the Baltimore scene instead. Don’t be anywhere near the spectacle happing in DC today.

Shortly after the Atlanta #nokings event kicked off at 10, organizers said Liberty Plaza near the state Capitol had already reached maximum capacity of 5,000.

by nearly every measure California ranks ahead of states like MS, AL, AR, MO, SC, TN and SD. CA has lower murder rate, lower crime rate, higher education, higher health ratings, higher minimum wage, higher well-being, safer envirnoment, etc than all those states.

Shut the fuck up. Best protest advice I can possibly give.

I have many problems with Jon (and have for years) but right here? He is 100%.

"Contrary to conventional wisdom, the size and scale of anti-Trump protests this year have dwarfed those in 2017, and they have been extraordinarily peaceful.... [I]mmigration—and aggressive law enforcement responses to immigration-related protests—were key mobilizing issues in April and May."

Holy cow! Or rather Holy Crow!

Undocumented immigrants contribute nearly $100 billion in taxes every year. Meanwhile, the wealthiest 1% dodge $163 billion in taxes annually. The real drain on America isn’t coming from the border — it’s coming from the boardroom.

Listen to this great American. This nation is privileged to have a man of this character in the United States Senate. Thank you @padilla.senate.gov. We stand with you.

@ericswalwell.bsky.social urges all Americans to show up for No Kings Day this Saturday. “If we don’t show up, democracy dies” #NoKingsDay

DHS tweeting out this poster seems like it will be one of those indicators down the road of "when did fascism *really* take hold"

Padilla: “We will hold this administration accountable”

This is FASCISM!

holy shit -- GOP Rep. Mike Turner tries to "help out" Hegseth by getting him to confirm that the Pentagon does not in fact have plans to take Greenland by force, but Hegseth instead more or less testifies that yep, they have devised plans for that

I'm always and genuinely flummoxed by anyone who ever says that Bluesky is not lively and engaging. It was so lively and engaging when there were less than 50k people here that I almost immediately started spending most of my social media time here. Now there's more! How are these folks missing it?

Today, in the House Oversight Committee, Republicans called in governors from so-called “sanctuary states” to try and bully them over immigration policy. They want y’all to think this hearing is about solutions. But let’s be honest—it’s not about fixing the system.

WTF?!?! This is a Senator with rights of oversight of the administration.
