Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop! Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels

Puerto Rican pride celebrates the continuous contributions the diaspora has made to the community of #IL03, the state of Illinois, and our whole nation. In difficult times, joy is an act of resistance! ¡Que viva Puerto Rico!

Here’s the deal, while 3.5 percent is not arbitrary, it doesn’t just happen. We don’t just hit this number and everything is hunky-dory. There has to be sustained involvement. We need all these people to vote in every election, to go to protest semi regularly, 1/2

Just like it was the right call to stay away on January 6th, 2021. Let the fascists wallow in their own misery.

There's been a lot of debate about whether the #NoKings coalition made the right decision staying out of DC, but early returns would seem to suggest they made the right call. The split screen is going to send a very clear message to our political actors.

It is official! Despite tanks and planes, Trump’s parade was “listless and low-energy.”

And there it is. The Minnesota assassin who shot Democratic lawmakers “voted for Donald Trump and was a strong Trump supporter,” according to his best friend.

being able to hear the wheels on the Sherman tanks squeal on account of no one there is some incredible footage. A+ comedy.

Okay taking it back. This parade is hilarious. No attendance, the little squeaks because it's so quiet, Trump looking like someone shit in his cereal. Brilliant. A+. No notes.

I am devastated by the loss of Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, in a horrifying act of violence. Our prayers are with their children and all who loved them, and with State Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, who were also targeted.

I would like my state, every state, to mandate badges, name plates, no masks, for all law enforcement in the state. And if federal agents try to break the mandate, arrest them, then let the courts sort it out.

JUST IN: Judge Breyer declines to postpone his preliminary injunction schedule re: the Guard and Marine deployment on L.A. He notes, but takes no position, on Newsom’s claim that the appeals court has no jurisdiction over Breyer’s temporary restraining order.

Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated last night, was the Speaker of the Minnesota House in the 2023-2024 session, when Democrats ran the state government. That means she had a leading role in shepherding the many landmark reforms that Dems adopted in that period—an important legacy. Brief 🧵.

If you can't attend the rallies today for whatever reasons, something useful you can do is scour your local news outlets for coverage and share the coverage on social media and pump it out to all of your networks. Amplify what's happening locally so others in your communities are aware.

I need y’all to understand that the entirety of downtown DC is inaccessible right now. Street closures are the worst I’ve ever seen. Barricades look like what you’d expect in a war zone.

Register so you can get deported... or don't register (and break the law) so you can get deported. What a Sophie's choice. 😱

Rep. Maxwell Frost needs no introductions. I'm writing one anyways. He's the youngest member of Congress but was already a long-time activist by the time he joined. If he is the future of the Democratic Party, it is in good hands! www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Our family just got a little bigger, and I couldn’t be more grateful! While I’ll still be voting on the floor, I’m stepping back from public duties for a while to focus on my most important job — being a dad. Thank you for all the messages of love and support.

This is so disturbing; our nation’s Marines detaining residents in Southern California. The administration is creating a falsehood of uncontrolled violence and using it to perpetuate hate and fear. I don’t know where I am living anymore. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

Yesterday, House Republicans passed President Trump’s plan to slash funding for public broadcasting…funding that was previously approved. Cutting Sesame Street won’t help balance the budget, especially when the Trump Tax Scam adds trillions to the national debt.

Republicans dragged in Democratic governors to blame them for endangering U.S. Citizens, but the reality is it’s the Trump Administration’s reckless immigration enforcement putting Americans at risk.
