The SCOTUS ruling in U.S. v. Skrmetti confirms what we know: this government is crooked and ignorant. Trans kids deserve care, safety, and bodily autonomy. We must remind them of their history, the sacredness of community, and that no government gave them their power—and no court can take it away.

What is wrong with these ppl? To be clear, "these ppl" is those arresting an 87 year old veteran using a rollater to walk. WTAF? Sheesh!

The Minnesota assassin appears to be a hate-filled right winger. So can we stop walking on eggshells about MAGA's legitimization of political violence? Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue. 1/ A🧵on the danger.

The reviews are in. www.indy100.com/politics/tru...

Did Trump call Pence after January 6th, 2021?? Hell no. I can't believe this is even a storyline. Trump is a supremacist wannabe dictator who has no interest in playing nice with political rivals let alone offering sincere condolences or material support to those harmed by militant MAGA cultists.

#NoKings #StrongerTogether Trump hates this picture so let’s share it!!!!!

“This shit’s going into the White House.” I spoke to @rollingstone.com about how a group of tech billionaires with an extreme ideology penetrated Trump's White House. www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

What a mess! This is rich. The shit I've taken for walking away from the quagmire of a party years ago. The handwriting has been on the wall for quite some time. Whew! *smh*

And now that the President has declared war on cities (not enough ppl in cities marched for him yesterday, I guess), this is as important as ever. This is not an exaggeration.

The radicalization of the American right is THE story of US politics over the last four decades and political reporters are still not allowed to talk about it

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

The irony of Native Americans having to prove that they belong on land stolen from them because the great-grandchild of a German draft dodger thinks the United States belongs to only white people.

Weingarten: Their attacks on public education are relentless and why? Because they fear knowledge. Why do they fear teachers? They fear us because we teach critical thinking… their brand of greed, power, and privilege cannot survive in a democracy of diverse educated citizens

Philly understood the assignment. #nokings

Downtown LA was a ghost town last evening. Love to see it full of people reclaiming their space (& dancing!) today. (turn the volume up!)
