New York City says fuck the Trump regime and his loyalist ICE forces. The real America rejects fascism. (📹 @cindygallop.bsky.social ) #3E #NoKings #NoKingsDay

Incredible turn out for #NoKingsDay. Thank you to everyone speaking up and taking action. Dissent is patriotic!

Walz announces that Rep. Melissa Hortman is dead as a result of a "politically motivated assassination"

People gathered for pro-democracy protests across the country today.

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

I need everyone on Normal People internet to know that American Girl Doll Instagram is doing doll protests today. There are tiny t-shirts and signs. AND THEN I realized it's a joint protest with the Barbie ppl, where there are EVEN TINIER SIGNS.

One block over from the White House: the aspirational security line setup

🧵🧵🧵 These are all very preliminary (& all I can find right now). Final numbers will be different. Feel free to update this and add your own! Estimate 80k in Philly Estimate 50k in NYC Estimate 20k in downtown Chicago Estimate 25k in Los Angeles Estimate 15k in Houston Estimate 20k in San Diego 1/

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

Video from Senior Reporter @bensolis1.bsky.social of the #NoKings protest at the Michigan Capitol

The freedom to dissent without fear of government retribution is a vital part of any well-functioning democracy — which is why we will continue to exercise our right to protest in the face of President Trump’s abuse of power.

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

With the tragic assassination of a Minnesota Democratic leader, I’m going to underline this point again.

it’s crazy how life for everyone has just gotten noticably worse immediately as trump became president again

Workers are "terrified" as immigration agents sweep farms, the president of United Farm Workers says, adding that Americans should think about the "human loss" as well as "crops rotting" in the fields.

The coin-operated presidency. @financialtimes.com www.ft.com/content/5481...

i think in a few decades we will view what being online has done to certain peoples brains the way we view the effects of lead poisoning on society

With federal changes to vaccine policy & recommendations underway, here's our overview of insurance coverage requirements for vaccines by payer, as linked to ACIP/CDC. As we show, federal changes mean consumers could lose access to free vaccines. www.kff.org/other/issue-...

Vaccines have literally saved more than 150 million lives over the last 50 years and prevented much more morbidity but hold up guys somebody with a brain worm knows better

more crime in america

WATCH: “I WAS AN INTERPRETER IN AFGHANISTAN FOR 3 YEARS.” ICE grabs a man whose name they don’t even know at his immigration hearing, shackles him, expedites his removal. Q: Why would anyone ever help our military again? — Trump is endangering and weakening our military.

In Nevada (a swing state), they're arresting people for constitutionally protected speech.

Hey @cnn.com, ‘we will kill you’ is not a “stern warning”. It’s a death threat. A sheriff is threatening the lives of the community he swore an oath to protect. For exercising their rights to peacefully assemble. Stop being stenographers for fascists.

Boebert: What we’re seeing in LA is an insurrection Pritzker: You don’t know understand what insurrection is. It is outrageous that you are asking that when you are the one condoning the pardoning of people that attacked police.

Get offended, yes. But do more than that — go on offense. Stop allowing business as usual to proceed in the Senate. Grind the chamber to a halt.

BREAKING: A federal judge says Trump illegally deployed the National Guard to help with LA protests and must return control to California.

BREAKING: A federal judge issued an order moments ago blocking Trump from deploying members of the California National Guard in Los Angeles, and ordered the administration to return control of the forces to Gov. Gavin Newsom. The order takes effect Friday, 12PM PT. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

I have a lot of things to say about this but they're best expressed by the following: lol. Also, potentially, lmao.

The physical assault of a United States Senator by federal law enforcement — for simply questioning a cabinet secretary — is a big test. The Senate can either assert itself as a co-equal branch of government & demand accountability or it can be docile & fade into the background. It’s a choice.

58 years ago today, the Supreme Court ruled on the side of our clients Mildred and Richard Loving, legalizing interracial marriages nationwide. This Loving Day, we honor the generations of families who were torn apart by anti-miscegenation laws and celebrate the couple that changed history.

The cruelty in today's politics feels horribly corrosive. Bringing up that hard-working immigrant families — undocumented, yes, but not violent criminals — are being ripped apart based on immigration status doesn't bring compassion or even pause, but gleeful cheers.

HOLY HELL: Watch the Los Angeles FD showing support for protestors!!!!

My piece for @thenation.com on the bravery of NIH employees who are standing up to those that would destroy the institution, including the NIH director himself. www.thenation.com/article/acti...

Breaking @propublica.org: Bukele of El Salvador has become one of Trump’s favorite authoritarians, and Trump touts him as a foe of MS-13. But a US investigation has found evidence he has colluded with the gang, even paying it for votes. www.propublica.org/article/buke...

“On behalf of the American people, I want to congratulate the Russian people on Russia Day. The United States remains committed to supporting the Russian people as they continue to build on their aspirations for a brighter future..” Marco Rubio, today. He’d have congratulated Hitler.

This is a real thing being posted and circulated by the Department of Homeland Security, referring to undocumented immigrants as “foreign invaders” and urging good Americans to turn them in. (I’ll leave it to BlueSky historians to find comparisons to WWII era materials.)

The right wing media successfully sold the Republican public the story of "Ransacked cities" in 2020 but it was false in almost all scenarios. I had friends in Portland w/relatives calling them asking if they were "ok out there" when it was basically 2-3 streets in Portland. Same everywhere.

RFK Jr’s ACIP pick, Martin Kulldorff, said one of the most disturbing images from the pandemic was a toddler crying about having to wear a mask. I see toddlers cry about everything all the time, and I found it far more disturbing to see refrigerator trucks full of body bags outside of the hospitals…

6/8 members of RFK Jr's ACIP have never looked a parent in the eye and said "Your baby might have meningitis. We need to do some lab work and a spinal tap." 7/8 never had to explain to a family why their newborn "will have significant neurodevelopmental problems" because of congenital rubella.

Mass protests planned for June 14, everyone hit the streets. Every city, every capital. Resist and defend. #3E #HandsOff #Indivisible #FiftyFiftyOne #StopICE #NoKingsProtest Find a confirmed location here (more protests exist but are not listed): nokings.org#map

This is sad for higher education. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/11/u...

BREAKING: The head of FEMA's storm response center has resigned amid a leadership exodus at the agency.

“I just saw 17 million deaths from COVID vaccines in 18 months” would be funny if this guy wasn’t now the gatekeeper of all vaccines Americans can get from now on

Journalistic malpractice/incompetence to not point out clearly and up front that this directly violates a federal statute

CNN’s Jason Carroll was zip-tied and escorted away—for reporting the news. But they claimed he wasn’t under arrest? Why are they shooting rubber bullets at and silencing journalists? We still have a First Amendment.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Hey, fellow Asian So. Cal Fam: ICE is visiting local Asian grocery stores like HMart and 99 Ranch - just heard this from a local contact. Please be careful AND please take this as a sign - this impacts us too. Call. Protest. Donate.
