Some thoughts about the military parade in my hometown of Washington DC today -- specifically, the route. Military parades in DC are quite rare. But when they happen, they have always begun, symbolically and geographically, at the Capitol and moved outward. 1/

Wow! What a showing in Minnesota! Bravery and patriotism at its finest! #Resist #NoKings #HandsOff #FiftyFiftyOne #Indivisible #Protest

Amazing turnout in Bangor, Maine! #NoKings #resist #peacefulprotest

We are here too! #resist

Oh no! This is quite the escalation. #resist

👏👏👏 #resist

There’s an overwhelming number of awful things happening. My gentle suggestion is to consider attending a protest tomorrow if you can. In addition to exercising your rights, it can be helpful to be in a sea of people who share your values. MAGA has exploited this, and now it’s our turn.

They wanted max cruelty. Shock and awe for the cameras. But all they did was traumatize a bunch of poor kids who’ll never forget it. An L.A. mom, US citizen, watched as unmarked vehicles rolled up. Masked, heavily armed ICE agents, guns drawn. And Cosplay Kristi Noem right there playing warlord!

Ready for tomorrow. Let's see those signs! #nokings #resist #Maine

NO. This is ridiculous. #resist

Use intentional words. No more fluff in speech. Call a spade a spade. Thank you @repyassansari.bsky.social

We’ve uncovered fraud, waste, and abuse! ICE has now exceeded its congressionally approved budget. ICE is violating the Antideficiency Act by spending beyond Congressional authorization.

WTF!? #resist

In general I don’t like to post anything that comes from him but I am making an exception. There was a deal. It was a good one. Trump pulled the US out of the agreement during his first term. This is classic Trump. Create a problem and then pretend he is the only one who can fix it.

Morning Bluesky. Israel has intercepted all one hundred drones Iran sent its way a couple of hours ago. Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei says Israel "should anticipate a severe punishment".

Whoa!

Yet…climate change isn’t real.

Yikes on bikes! #resist

Yup! 😅👏👏👏

Israel is a rogue nation in the midst of committing genocide in Gaza. They were teed up for the bloody war they've almost certainly now dragged us into by Trump unilaterally withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal when it was working just fine during his first administration. All this was avoidable.

Incredible. What is wrong with these people?

holy shit -- GOP Rep. Mike Turner tries to "help out" Hegseth by getting him to confirm that the Pentagon does not in fact have plans to take Greenland by force, but Hegseth instead more or less testifies that yep, they have devised plans for that

Whoa.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH

Looks like this first wave of Israeli attacks was focused on air defenses, and individual homes of scientists and regime officials. Some social media reports of a second wave beginning, but I haven’t seen confirmation of that so far.

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.

These are the times that try men’s souls.
