We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Take note.

Congress has the sole power to declare war – full stop. The idea that the US would potentially deploy a bunker buster bomb in Iran w/out Congressional approval not only flies in the face of our Constitution, it would also rope us into another forever war that Americans do not want.

Juneteenth calls us to understand the realities of our past, celebrate the resilience and achievements of Black Americans, and align the course of our country toward its founding creed of liberty and justice for all. Wishing everyone a meaningful Juneteenth!

On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.

This is exactly the right tone when privileged people suffer minor or temporary consequences standing up for powerless people. It’s still about the powerless people. ICE is Gestapo trash.

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

This is beyond the military industrial complex - basically a pure merger of public military power and private interests breakingdefense.com/2025/06/andu...

They are driving this shit into people’s backyards. Jesus.

Trump is sending ICE to blue cities to enact the "largest mass deportation program in history" and Chicago is at the top of the list. I'm calling for every Democratic leader and candidate to stand against ICE, to call for its abolition, and to materially support immigrants. Inaction is complicity.

Captain: “What is it they’ve sent us?” Leia: “Hope.”

Okay. The world can see this. Why it so hard for 30% of Americans to continue holding out hope a leopard will change it's spots?

And I can teach thee, coz, to shame the devil By telling truth: tell truth and shame the devil.

"The Senate will be MORE aggressive seeking savings from Medicare" is at "the vampires will be MORE aggressive seeking iron for their diets" levels of language obfuscation.

Great line here: "Considered individually, defendants’ legal arguments are meritless. Considered in the aggregate, they are terrifying."

#LA I support you against #ICE, but not against #ChelseaFC. Come on Chelsea! #CWC

I love seeing the massive #NoKings turnouts in major cities, but what I love even more are the hundreds and hundreds of small, rural towns that had relatively bigger turnouts compared to their populations 💙🙏

This is a turning point. This is the line we draw. This is the moment history will remember — when millions stood together to say NO to Trump, Vance, Vought, Theil, and all the corrupt cronies and cult. Follow the movement. Learn what comes next. Join us at FiftyFifty.One. #FiftyFiftyOne #NoKings

No Kings Dallas! Unbelievable! #nokings #dallas

#Boise #Idaho showing up for #NoKings

Today in downtown Los Angeles. We will stand our ground and won't back down. #NoKings #ICEProtest

Today in Boston. Over a million people turned out. Even the drone couldn't get it all. #NoKingsDay #BostonStrong #ICEProtest

#nokings rally in Des Moines.

Imagine if Obama had done a FRACTION of what Turnip is doing... #NoKings

Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it — Mark Twain I love America more than any other country in the world, and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her — James Baldwin

Nobody there but scammers. Incredible Fyre Festival vibes.

#NoKings Philadelphia

Happy Saturday, let's do this

Some ducks have joined one of the #NoKings rallies in Portland, OR!

5+ MILLION people joined over 2,100 rallies across the nation today, in an act of peaceful resistance and community solidarity. Thanks to everyone who exercised your First Amendment rights and showed our collective power. Get home safe — and make a plan to organize with your local ACLU affiliate.💪

#NoKings New York

#nokingsday #nokings #savedemocracy

Well holy shit.

In a Gangster State, the dear leader wastes other people's money on military parades to broadcast his fake strength, attacks the legislative branch and destroys programs that benefit the people.

Look at downtown LA right now

#Nokings San Diego

🎉🎉🎉 Not only is it NO KINGS day, but we are also celebrating Obama Appreciation Day! #NoKings TOOLKIT includes posts to celebrate Obama and places to upload photos and videos from today's rallies. Remember to include your location! ➡️ social.demcast.com/toolkit/a702...

Here’s a New York Times photo of the Chicago “No Kings” rally. NYT said the march that followed spanned at least 10 blocks.

HOLY SHIT, Philly showed up strong for No Kings Day! This is what democracy looks like! 🙏💪

MOMENTS AGO: Law enforcement use tear gas and pepper spray on L.A. protestors. David Noriega reports on the ground

Kicking things off in Cincinnati, Ohio! #NoKings

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.

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

They think a couple of assassinations and a military parade are going to stop you from marching. Those that fuck around shall surely find out.

Chicago showed the 🤬 up ✊

They’re trying to stop you from showing up. They want you to stay home. If your state says it’s safe to go, you should protest. Meet people, march, make posters, organize, have fun, be seen. Don’t let the bastards win.

Pretty huge turnout in Des Moines. This is like 20% of it

The parade is neither a roaring call to patriotism or tyrannical show of might. It's something much worse--boring
