Yesterday was a perfect example

🎯

What a contrast: On the one hand, one grandiose spectacle in the nation's capital, a panorama of propaganda put on by an aspiring autocrat. On the other hand, thousands of assemblies of free citizens across the nation, authentic celebrations of the proposition that here the people rule.

It most certainly is!

To those who have not studied history, or forgot, or don’t believe history repeats, take a look. If you still don’t get the connection, then you will live the consequences of your actions, or inaction.

@Indivisible.org Great energy and turn out for ❌👑 day in Half Moon Bay, CA. Beautiful drone footage by Steve Maller.

500+ citizens in Colma, California in front of the Tesla Dealership saying, NO KINGS! #Resist #NoKings #HandsOff #Indivisible #WeThePeople #TeslaTakedown #Colma #California @indivisible.org @maddow.msnbc.com

Ocean Beach per SFGate.com drone footage

More than 1 million in Boston! www.wcvb.com/article/more...

Question: When are we going to call the white man who clearly plotted and schemed an act of violence, and shot two Minnesota law makers and their spouses out of political hatred a terrorist?

Holy shit, New York! Here’s the full view. #NoKings #50501Movement

Listen to Obama: "I'm asking you to believe not in my ability to bring about change, but in yours." We are the ones that we have been waiting for. #NoKings

AMERICA it's Time For you To take a stand And Call on Department of Homeland Secretary Kristi Noem To Resign This is your Time To #StandWithAlexPadilla ♥️✊️🇺🇸 #RESIGNKRISTINOEMNOW #ProudBlue #Demcast #Resist Like this post and share You're welcome For my Graphic ♥️✊️🇺🇸

I hope to see everyone I know in San Francisco at this tomorrow. Yeah, everyone. This is a national test of real patriotism and love of our democracy. Do not sit this one out.

The shoving and handcuffing of Senator Padilla after clearly identifying himself should shock all Americans. He tried to ask a question of Secretary Noem about the tactics of her agency on the streets of LA. She didn’t tell the truth as the video clearly showed.

A wannabe dictator is attacking the pillars of our democracy, but We the People are rising up. Join Saturday's nationwide peaceful protests to reject Trump's authoritarianism: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

The constitution begins with WE not HE. More info here-->https://act.link/gi-stnlm

Senator Padilla was driven violently to his knees–as if made to kneel before the authority of the executive–because the administration called his questions “disrespectful”. This should offend not just the other 99 Senators. It should offend the conscience of this country.

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her

First a Mayor. Then a Congresswoman. Now a US Senator. Trump’s administration is trying to silence their opposition. Through threats & physical intimidation . It’s not American. We stand with Sen Padilla slate.com/news-and-pol...

A group of us have arrived on the Senate floor to challenge our colleagues - on both sides of the aside - to rise to this moment and jointly condemn what has happened to Sen. Padilla. Yes we still need to collect the full facts, but this appears to be a defining moment for the country.

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

Been joined so far by @booker.senate.gov @schatz.bsky.social @pattymurray.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov @coons.senate.gov @jeff-merkley.bsky.social @wyden.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov @elizabeth-warren.bsky.social @andykimnj.bsky.social and others. This is a defining moment.

Republicans who do not condemn this are unfit to serve in any capacity. They are servile, abetting an evil regime.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

We are marching to Senator Thune’s office. There must be accountability for the detainment of a Senator. This is not normal.

Thank you @padilla.senate.gov — proud to have you represent our golden state. #Resist #StandUp #StopICE #HandsOff #NoKings #Indivisible #WeThePeople #DumpTrump #California #ILoveLA #Padilla

250 years ago, Americans rejected the rule of a mad king. In two days, we’re taking to the streets again to say NO KINGS. 2,000 peaceful protests are planned in small towns and major cities across the country. Join your community on Saturday for #NoKings Day: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Stealing from the needy to give to the rich.

Every protest I’ve attended in SC has been peaceful. Cops were kind and removed disrupters. This rhetoric out of DC is meant to instill fear and keep people away. Show up. Know your rights. Save democracy. #MomSky

Proud to work with my colleagues at @indivisible.org every day. But on days like today, when we're in the home stretch of #NoKings, I'm just overwhelmed with gratitude for all the folks who make all of this possible. Thank an organizer today, y'all. And see you out there. #NoKings

I was on the fence, but if Mark's in, I'm in. See y'all in the streets on Saturday.

No funds to rebuild after devastating storms and fires, but troops if you demand basic human rights. Got it.

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality. Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook. Our duty is to stand up to brutality. Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

Are we in a sci-fi movie? Is this the Twilight Zone? Unfortunately, it’s worse. Not only is our data at risk due to DOGE and the Administration—but Congress itself is currently trying to deregulate AI and data privacy protections across the country in the big abomination of a bill.

Sen. Rev. Raphael Warnock on Trump deploying troops to Los Angeles: “He is using the symbolism and the uniforms of our service members in a campaign to do what he's been doing for 10 years, and that is to convince us that we are at war with one another.”
