The great idea of naming heat waves like we do hurricanes is not yet actualized. After two beastly 90+ drgree days, we'll shoot up to 103 tomorrow here in the Boston area. Based on exactly zero authority, I name the heat wave currently responsible for my headache and wilting garden: Alastair!

I was confused when he first ran and again when he got elected. THEN I was confused when he ran AGAIN, and PARTICULARLY when he WON. Now I’m confused and angry because he’s still in office 🤬

The Trump administration said that it would open up 58 million acres of back country in national forests to road construction and development, removing protections that had been in place for a quarter century.

this is climate arson.

BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity. This is a major win for public health.

The beginning of the end of MAGA, the beginning of the end of Trumpism. The beginning of the fight of the people to save our Constitution, our United States of America, from the most amoral person to ever sit behind the Resolute Desk and soil our United States of America.

Boston showed up for Pride/No Kings! This crowd goes on for miles, despite the awful weather.

More than 1 million in Boston! www.wcvb.com/article/more...

Boston represents

Raskin: You are not our king, and we are not your subjects. We will never be your subjects. All of us born here on this land are citizens and your executive order is nothing but bad graffiti on the Constitution, and we're going to wash it off today

Excellent.

NEW: The authoritarian crackdown begins in LA. This is dystopian. As the dictator’s parade is broadcast in the top right corner, MSNBC’s reporter and peaceful protestors are charged by police as tear gas is fired. Watch till the end.

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

Attendance at the $35+ mm Trump military birthday parade is reminiscent of his inauguration

America the Beautiful 🇺🇲

Exactly! No king!👇

To our friends & allies across the globe who today stood in solidarity with those of us in the US who are angry, scared, & mortified: thank you for your grace, your light, & your empathy. Thank you for your support of those of us who aren't in the cult. We see you & are grateful.

Protesters in all 50 states marched against President Trump's policies on Saturday as Trump held a military parade in Washington. Read more: https://trib.al/JnBJSdw

“No Kings Day”: A compilation

Thank you, Congresswoman Lateefah Simon for standing shoulder to shoulder with your constituents in the fight against tyranny!

Boston showed up for No Kings Day!

I am so happy to see all pictures and videos of people being out on the street of America, demonstrating against the fascistic Trump regime like in this video from #Chicago. This is the way to do it, the power are the people1‼️ 💪🏼😎✊🏼

2,169 events across 20 countries. Millions of peope are standing up tomorrow to say with one voice: No Kings!

The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible

We’ve truly lost our way in this country. An 80-year-old vet who fought for this country just got arrested protesting Trump‘s parade. He deserves respect, not handcuffs.

Holy shit, New York! Here’s the full view. #NoKings #50501Movement

I like to look at these things with the simple math. LNG is way more expensive than coal. They use it sparingly in India for this reason. And even coal use is down. Why? "Because: renewables surged to record high, up 17.2% from a year earlier to reach highest share of power generation ever"

🧵 1/2 Senator Padilla’s press conference removal response “I couldn’t accept the rhetoric anymore, I had the audacity to ask a question, I introduced myself, I’m Senator Alex Padilla & I have a question It took all of maybe a second for multiple agents to forcibly remove me” 📽️ was too long-🧵2/2👇

Take a listen and seriously consider it. While this is not an uncommon practice, I am glad people are beginning to speak up about it.

Five Rules for Protesters (when confronted by police): 1. “Am I being detained?” 2. “Am I under arrest?” 3. “I want a lawyer.” 4. Be polite, follow commands. 5. Shut the fuck up. Pro Tip:Turn off facial recognition on your phone. Police need a warrant to search a phone. Ask to see it.

Senator Padilla was driven violently to his knees–as if made to kneel before the authority of the executive–because the administration called his questions “disrespectful”. This should offend not just the other 99 Senators. It should offend the conscience of this country.

If that’s what they do to a United States Senator with a question, imagine what they can do to any American that dares to speak up. We will hold this administration accountable.

ORDERS: WILL SOMEONE IN LA GET DOWN TO THE NATIONAL GUARD WITH A MASSIVE LOUD SPEAKER AND PLAY YMCA, IN THE NAVY & FDT NONSTOP PLEASE! Change the protest dynamic from confrontation into a Dance Party. Make sure the Media sees you can make them smile.

TODAY: Join “Know Your Rights” training with the @aclu.org to help keep Saturday’s #NoKings protests safe and non-violent: act.aclu.org/a/2025-kyr-t... También disponible en Español: act.aclu.org/a/taller-par...

“If you saw all this in any other country — soldiers sent to crush dissent, union leaders arrested, opposition politicians threatened — it would be clear that autocracy had arrived. The question, now, is whether Americans who hate tyranny can be roused to respond.” www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/o...

When you head out to protests, bring American Flags and State Flags. The optics need to change. We need to take back our flag. The American flag needs to represent “Voice”, the flag needs to represent our core freedom of speech and protest. It’s all about imagery when the story is told of this time.

Trump went full Col. Jessup for this 😂

“He’s hoping for chaos so he can justify more crackdowns, more fear, more control. Stay calm. Never use violence. Stay peaceful.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

Trump trying to distract America with plans for a new $100,000,000 White House BALLROOM While he STRIPS AWAY health care, food assistance, veterans benefits, Meals on Wheels and basic human rights from MILLIONS OF AMERICANS And saddles US with another $2,400,000,000 worth of debt

The Big Fucked Up Bill, is NOT a spending bill. It’s a government restructuring bill, that consolidates power in the executive, defunds critical services to the point of absurdity, removes the power of our courts to enforce the law and dramatically curtails voting rights. It’s Project 2025
