"This has nothing to do with political party. Our mission is to advance civil rights, and the current president has made clear that his mission is to eliminate civil rights." - Derrick Johnson, NAACP President

In case you still had any doubts about those claims of racism.

By breaking every norm, an elected official normalizes abnormal, and potentially dangerous, behavior. #Trump

70,000 people marched through Seattle at the No Kings rally. It was loud, it was huge, and it was only a start. While downtown swelled with speeches, ICE tear-gassed protesters in Tukwila. Showing up once isn’t enough. The fight doesn’t end when the march does.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Political violence must always be condemned.

I'm proud of America for showing up today to say no to a would-be king. It provides a measure of confidence that we won't lose everything, though we've already lost a lot (and not just since Trump took office). But with today's show of support & enthusiasm, I believe we can build a better #America.

Update: Democratic House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark have died after they were shot at their home in Brooklyn Park.

Update: Over 7.2 million and counting across the country for the No Kings protest!!

Trump: Read the room. You are not wanted in #America #NoKings

Wtaf? What are the facts here?

Eugene, OR

“Hey hey! Ho ho! These fascist fucks have got to go!”

Last night, Capitol Police arrested roughly 60 veterans and their family members outside the U.S. Capitol. The group had gathered to hold a peaceful sit-in on the Capitol steps, but police intentionally set up a barrier of bike racks to prevent them from demonstrating.

Eugene, Oregon is united against #fascism

Trump’s $45 million birthday parade with its tanks and helicopters is an authoritarian ego trip. But the real show of force this weekend won't take place in D.C., it’ll happen in the streets as protesters gather nationwide to declare "No Kings in America!"

#Netanyahu looks to cement his place in history as Israel's great defender. After his fuckup on Oct 7, his ongoing genocide in #Palestine, and his US-fueled attack on Iran, he should def be in cement.

History will not be kind to Speaker Johnson. Nor should it be.

Senator dared to question the Empire, directly, and was met with force. Stormtroopers didn’t hesitate. They grabbed him, cuffed him, dragged him away like a dissident, claiming he “failed to identify himself.” But everyone knew who he was. He was a Senator.

If a US Senator is not safe from being handcuffed and detained for free speech, none of us are safe.

Why did they have to throw him to the ground and cuff him once he was removed from the room?

Spokane, Washington tonight became the center of national attention after a peaceful protest outside an ICE facility was escalated by police.

Wow, and it's not even done well, of course.

Hey, CO CD#4, what up? Take a look. #Boebert

Forgot to tag @thelaurenelyse.bsky.social on this one.
