Hit the streets tomorrow. Be nonviolent. Be joyfully defiant. Be defiantly joyful. Ridicule him. Condemn fascism. Oppose I.C.E. Affirm diversity. Embody America. Love your neighbor. Refuse to be intimidated. Be safe. Be loud. Be encouraged. #NoKingsDay

FUCK YES.

Investigations are now underway into officers and ICE agents who fired crowd-control munitions at dangerously close range. In case after case, the situation only escalated when force was used against peaceful protesters.

You paying attention? This is by design

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a once-in-a-generation leader who has led the fight for working people in Congress. In 2018, she shocked the world and transformed our politics. On June 24, with @aoc.bsky.social’s support and this movement behind us, we will do the same.

Thank you @johnmoralestv.bsky.social for Standing Up for Science!

🗣️President Trump’s proposed FY26 budget would roll back WIC's fruit and vegetable benefits to pre-2021 levels, before USDA’s science-based increase. Breastfeeding moms would drop from $54 → $13 Young kids: $27 → $10 These cuts jeopardize early nutrition. Read the full NWA statement:

The Trump administration’s billion-dollar cuts to the National Institutes of Health include a $2.7 billion blow to the National Cancer Institute slashing more than a third of its funding. “For the past 50 years, every significant medical breakthrough, especially in the treatment of cancer,

Today marks five years since George Floyd was killed by police. Our June 22, 2020 cover “Say Their Names,” by Kadir Nelson, illustrated how Floyd’s murder embodies the history of violence inflicted upon Black people in America. nyer.cm/UmfefJw

Hard not to notice that ICE isn't breaking up drug rings or gangs (because we would ABSOLUTELY hear about it if they were), but instead are dressing up like bank robbers and doing the laziest shit possible, like hanging out at immigration court or grabbing people for busted taillights. Worthless

Warnock: You literally have, in real time, the leader of another nation-state—in this case, South Africa—there to talk to him about trade, and he’s saying, “Sorry, Mr. President, we don’t have a plane to offer you.” And you see why we have an Emoluments Clause in the first place.

Thankful for this! More please~ 💙👏🏻💙

Dingell: They are going to rip healthcare away from almost 14 million people. When I was at home, a mother had her child in a wheelchair and started crying on the elevator—she wanted me to promise her that her child would still be able to go to the doctor. Children’s Hospital in Detroit—

McGovern: "You are literally taking food off kids' plates to buy Elon Musk another yacht. I guess he's getting a good return on his campaign donations ... this is not policy. This is theft."

Taking health care and food away from the poorest Americans to give Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk another tax break. No wonder Republicans in Congress are voting on Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” in the dead of night when no one is watching them.

I said it would get worse very quickly. By tomorrow we will have completed the most dangerous & frightening 24 hours thus far of Trump 2.0. Just to name a few: 1. Defiance of a court order by sending migrants to Sudan without due process (despite clear DP decision SCOTUS) & Dist. CT. order.

THIS!

Love me some Pedro! 💙

your energy actually is finite and spending time fighting about the former president while the current president is putting this country in a wood chipper seems like a bad use of it

Nope, the Trump administration hasn't given up on trying to ban abortion. Just this week, RFK Jr. pushed a fake report about the abortion medication mifepristone. He's peddling misinformation so he can lay the groundwork for restricting abortion access no matter where you live.

Oh Canada!! 🍁🇨🇦🍁Thank you!! ❤️🤍❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Illinois’ Democratic governor JB Pritzker possesses the kind of fighting spirit we need take on and topple a tyrant like Trump. Pritzker is teeming with fierce opposition to the madness of MAGA — precisely what Americans need at this dangerous point in our nation’s history. In a fiery…

Atlantic: What would happen if you accidentally got the wrong person (re: deportations) - a legal resident, or even an American citizen? Trump: Let me tell you that nothing will ever be perfect in this world. This should chill you to your core. We will not be acceptable casualties to fascism.

Our meeting with Rümeysa Öztürk was a true testament to her character. She remains kind-hearted and courageous, despite the cruelty she is enduring at the facility. I asked her pointedly if she had a message for the people of Somerville, she said thank you for being her community.

Don’t only focus solely on the harm this administration is doing, but find the heroes. The lawyers preparing the cases. The educators & administrators protecting their schools. The journalists writing the stories. The whistleblowers who alert the public. The community members serving at the pantry.

Cruelty is the point.

Thank you! More please!!

This level of corruption is beyond the pale for cartoon villains. What’s next? Custom executive orders to the highest bidder?

Christ says what we do for “the least of these” we do for him — so where is Christ today? Christ is the immigrant deported without due process. Christ is the protester kidnapped in an unmarked vehicle. Christ is the student in an overcrowded classroom in a defunded school.

I'm thinking about how tonight was probably the first time Kilmar Abrego Garcia learned that millions of people care about him - the first time he learned that the United States Supreme Court ruled 9-0 to bring him home. I'm thinking what it must mean for him to know, right now, that he isn't alone.

Please repeat over and over: “Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.” —Gov. JB Pritzker

Today would be a great day to ban members of Congress and their families from trading stocks.

You can tell who the Good Guys are because they're the ones smashing a car window to drag a mother away from her child while wearing ski masks.

This is why we have the @disappearedtracker.bsky.social . Get your friends to follow.

We never had to doom scroll past midnight through posts about skyrocketing treasury yields, a collapsing bond market, and plunging stock futures when Joe Biden was president. The only reason they should have called him Sleepy Joe is because we were able to sleep at night.

Will need this in all 50 states soon.

Truth! Such crazy times we are living in.

NEW: Yesterday, the Justice Department sent armed marshals to warn former U.S. pardon attorney Liz Oyer not to disclose internal DOJ information during her Senate testimony. Today, Oyer is speaking out to condemn the DOJ’s actions and defend the rule of law.
