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.

Today in Boston. Over a million people turned out. Even the drone couldn't get it all. #NoKingsDay #BostonStrong #ICEProtest

The #NoKings march in Dallas, Texas is HUGE!

The Department of Defense was created to protect us, but who is going to protect us from THEM?

Dallas turned out with at least 10,000 marching for #NoKingsDay

A Democratic Mayor arrested. A Democratic Congresswoman indicted. A Democratic Senator tackled and detained. A Democratic State Representative killed. A Democratic State Representative in critical condition. We can all see where this is going.

Massive #NoKings march in New York City!

Happy Obama Appreciation Day

A reminder to reporters, when historians look back on this moment with the president throwing himself a military parade and the people throwing No Kings rallies across America, the media sources raving about the former and sneering at the latter are going to be quoted by name. This is your legacy!

Out of an abundance of caution my Department of Public Safety is recommending that people do not attend any political rallies today in Minnesota until the suspect is apprehended.

It’s not hyperbole to say that the deaths in Minnesota are on the GOP’s hands. They’ve built this political environment and they’ve allowed a demagogue to spread hate. This is entirely on them.

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

Hudson Valley erupted with hundreds marching in the "No Kings" rally, sending a powerful message against tyranny in one of the nation’s key battleground states. The fight for democracy is far from over. #NoKings #HudsonValley #TyrannyFighters #BattlegroundState www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

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

Just finished up at the Evanston No Kings rally. It was safe, peaceful, and a show of solidarity by *at least* 1,000 people. Go to your local protest. Don’t let this administration scare you. Stand with your community when our leaders won’t.

Tax the RICH

WHAT FOX WILL NEVER SHOW YOU!! The news won't show you this because they have a narrative to spin.

Ran to Target for laundry detergent, saw about a dozen women in their 60s or thereabouts buying poster board and markers. I would have assumed they were teachers getting supplies until I remembered school's out and then it clicked.

AOC: "They have released chaos in LA by violently raiding & ripping apart peaceful public spaces, and now they are tackling & arresting US sitting members of Congress, while going on the record & lying about what happened.

This man is my hero because he’s a member of the United States Air Force and is standing by his #Oath to the #Constitution! I’m hoping that since he has taken the lead others will follow because this is what a true American Soldier looks like! Remember your Oath to the Constitution

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

<thread> On the left: June 12, Judge Breyer writing that THE test for whether the US Marines/Guard violate Posse Comitatus will be whether they've engaged in "detaining" civilians. On the right: June 13: See for yourself. Note: The DoD has confirmed the detention of civilian to Reuters.

Sneak peak at all of America tomorrow for “No Kings Day” 🍊🦅🇺🇸
