No Kings Day June 14 All across America Visit: nokings.org for more info

If you understand “reading comprehension” this statement needs NO EXPLANATION or DEFINITION #auntiebevspeaks

Born and raised in Los Angeles County, David Huerta is a champion for justice and a good neighbor. Today, while advocating for his community during an ICE raid, he was injured and arrested. These raids are dangerous for our families and communities. They are unjust and must end.

ICE is evil

ONE WEEK UNTIL NO KINGS DAY! At this time next Saturday, we will be taking to the streets across the country. While Trump wastes millions on a birthday parade in DC, we’re showing up everywhere else to say NO KINGS. There are nearly 2,000 events planned. Join us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Whole Washington officially has a bill# now. They are organizing to get 400K signatures so universal healthcare in WA can be put on the ballot. Here’s the website for info: wholewashington.org

Bring your friends and neighbors to join us for an enormous NO KINGS sign waving rally at W Washington St & N Priest Rd (the Big Box Area). We will be lining both sides of W Washington from N Priest Rd (adjoins Walmart) all the way east towards Costco. Bring a few canned goods for the food drive!

That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.

Cool! @ricksteves.bsky.social, who has a lot of experience telling people where to go, is telling people to go to NoKings.org. See y'all in the streets on 6/14.

New from retired General Mark Hertling on the danger of cyber attacks: “WHEN I VISITED THE CYBER CENTER in Tallinn, all I could think of was what if this happened in the United States @markhertling.bsky.social www.thebulwark.com/p/slashing-c...

Carl Sagan in 1986 on the problems with media and science literacy.

PBS is in danger of going away. How can you help us and your local station? Visit ProtectMyPublicMedia.org and urge Congress to protect PBS funding. And thanks to everyone who followed before our first skeet. We see you!

I'm attending No Kings's event, “No Kings: Safety and Deescalation Training (Option 1)” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

Trump can only destroy America if we let him.

🚨 Tucked into the Republican BS Budget (section 70302) is a provision that would prevent courts from holding members of the Trump admin accountable via contempt rulings. Meaning, a judge could order an action (Ex: return illegally deported people), but couldn't force COMPLIANCE of those orders. 😳 🎧

Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics…

Trump’s Tax Scam will kick nearly 14 million Americans off their healthcare to give billionaires even more tax cuts. If you’ve got a GOP senator, call and demand that they stand up for the families they were elected to serve: act.indivisible.org/...

“It is up to all of us to fix this. It’s not going to be because somebody comes and saves you.”

donny is destroying our democracy, replacing it with fascism supported by his oligarchs. Protesting in large numbers limits the amount of destruction and voting eliminates it. June 14 is the No Kings protest and I hope you can show up. #Washington #Sequim ##Resist #NoKings @ClallamDems.bsky.social

Indivisible Sequim is planning to participate in the nationwide No Kings protest. Pass the word! See you there.

It’s official: Over 1,000 events are planned for No Kings Day on June 14. While Trump wastes nearly $100 million on his birthday parade in DC, we will be taking to the streets everywhere else to show the world what democracy really looks like. Find your local event: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Trump’s efforts to withhold military and intelligence support to Ukraine did not force that country to surrender, thank God for that. His threat to impose vigorous sanctions on Russia if it did not make peace proved as insubstantial as air. Now he wants to walk away. The art of the incompetent.

"In an environment where attention is our most valuable and scarce resource, talking about Biden’s mental state comes at the expense of talking about other things— namely Trump’s corruption, which, unlike Biden’s health, actually impacts us."

This was the single most powerful moment of last night's town hall with Ro Khanna - when a 6th grader asked "are we safe?" and then ran through a list of her fears, including her grandmother's health and friends with LGBTQ+ family.

200,000 people worldwide have already died d/t cuts to USAID. Reduction to our global vaccine program will kill 1 million children this year. Cuts to cancer research among others will make us sicker. All so billionaires can get tax cuts. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fitu...

Did you know Dr. Makenzie Lystrup was sworn in as the director of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center using Carl Sagan’s Pale Blue Dot instead of a Bible?

The Trump administration fired nearly 600 employees at Voice of America a federally funded news outlet known for delivering independent reporting to countries where press freedom is restricted.

Let’s clear something up: SNAP stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — the LARGEST federal program to fight hunger in the country! It blows my mind that the party that touts its “Christian values” is the same party that is SET on taking food from the hungry.

We greatly appreciate the generosity of all who contributed for #giveBIG. Thank you!!! If you missed the official window, it’s not too late. Donations are still accepted & count toward our goal of $20,000. Can you help us get there? www.wagives.org/organization... #universalhealthcare #medicare4all

Why should I worry about who's crossing the border when these assholes are already here?

“The demonstrations against Trump have not stopped. And they are every single day.” We’re taking to the streets on June 14 to deny Trump’s fascist birthday wish. There are already events planned in all 50 states for No Kings Day — please join us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

The Coalition of the Willing 🇫🇷🇬🇧🇩🇪🇵🇱🇺🇦 The Coalition of the Willing — French President Emmanuel Macron, UK PM Keir Starmer, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, and Polish PM Donald Tusk have arrived in Kyiv for a meeting set to take place today. Welcome to Ukraine!

June 14 is Trump’s birthday and his military parade in DC — but the biggest story of that day will be the actions we take everywhere else. Join our nationwide day of defiance to show that organized people power is stronger than Trump’s authoritarian aspirations: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

SOON: @ezralevin.bsky.social will join @maddow.msnbc.com to share some big news about our upcoming national day of defiance. 📺

A wise creature once said, "Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger; anger leads to hate; hate leads to suffering." These days, when fear is all too common, today is a great moment to remember the strength in courage, unity... and hope. May the 4th be with you. Always.

Medicare & Medicaid are on the chopping block. We need #universalhealthcare ASAP! If you’re on Apple Health, that is Medicaid - and your coverage is at risk. We, the people, must take control of our health care system. Please giveBIG for Change! 🙏https://www.wagives.org/organization/Hcfawa
