The most consequential Speaker in state history.

Just want to take a moment to shout out the international reporters helping us get the real story out. When an 80-year-old veteran with a walker is hauled off with his hands zip-tied behind his back, and the media spins it as a “threatening breach” of a police barricade

Chicago showed the fuck up!

❤️ Thank you Cincinnati.

🎵 The Bronx is up and the Battery’s down …

No kings in LA 🖤

This is IDAHO, home of the militia. INCREDIBLE.

Ann Arbor turned out! No Kings!!

Thank you for your attention to this matter! #NoKings

The only thing that saved this day from being a shameful display by a pitiful man was the legions of Americans who made it clear that this country is worth fighting for and its will shall not be quelled by petty thuggery masquarading as strength. Never Kings.

97% of extremist-related murders in the U.S. in 2024 were linked to right-wing extremists. It’s not a political movement anymore - it’s a hobby for failed men with too much testosterone and not enough brain cells.

All ages, all races, all genders + good music = a very #oakland. #NoKings March

A nice little respite amongst the madness.

Has DJT never heard of Vietnam or Iraq?

Maine USMC Vietnam veteran Jeff Olson (1969-72) opposes domestic deployment of Marines: “it never was our mission and it shouldn’t be now.” #nokings Ellsworth #maine

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.

Chicago ✊

Padilla on Noem: "How does the cabinet secretary not know the senator from California when she steps foot into Los Angeles? She came through the Senate for confirmation."

We are living in hell I wonder what the Washington Post's "unapologetically patriotic" coverage of the Pentagon Papers and Watergate would have looked like

What they aren’t showing on Fox News

Reminder that I AM LATINA AND PROUD. I am the product of immigration - my grandmother was undocumented and entered the country from Mexico as a baby. My mother was a fierce, gorgeous Latina woman of Mexican and Spanish descent.

The WSJ news pages expands on the NYT: since Stephen Miller demanded ICE increase its numbers, they’ve started grabbing people without even checking their immigration status, let alone their criminal history. Gift link: www.wsj.com/us-news/prot...

If you haven’t heard of Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove… you have now. When she stepped out from the back without missing a beat, I knew it was on🔥 @kamlager-dove.house.gov

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

👏👏👏👏

@repmaxinewaters.bsky.social pleads with National Guard to not use their guns, yesterday.

Tom Homan says he was taken out of context by a reporter when he threatened to arrest Gavin Newsom. "The NBC reporter that interviewed me is very dishonest. We did a 20 minute interview and he cuts out a little clip and takes my words out of context." Jonathan Lemire: "NBC stands by its reporting"

NEW: Hegseth is deploying Marines against U.S. citizens. Mayor Bass says to know your rights :

Truth-tellers, not rioters. Protect these two men at all costs. “You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history.” “John Lewis said make good trouble… that means make trouble on behalf of democracy.”

Veteran @duckworth.senate.gov delivers a strong #CupOfJoe. If it was really about celebrating military families, we could put $30 million toward helping them offset the cost of their child care, food assistance & tuition. We have no king. Go to nokings.org.

Are we great yet?

I hope they both lose this fight.

i cant breathe right 😂 www.cnn.com/politics/liv...

I really don't like to cry in public 🥲 but the injustice of Black Portlanders getting robbed of their generational wealth at the hands of our city was too much to bear. I'm so happy we unanimously increased the settlement payout from 2 to 8.5 million. It's NOT ENOUGH but still an important step. 🫶🏾

Amazing. Respect the lede.

I agree 💯.

After MAGA Commerce Secretary Lutnick replies to Congresswoman Madeleine Dean’s comment about Walmart increasing prices for bananas by 8% with “If you build in America, there is no tariff,” she humiliates him with her response: “We cannot build bananas in America." 🤣🔥

AOC: The girls are fighting aren’t they

Oh chile, this is about to get CINEMATIC. THEATRICAL.
