One other type of doomer I am inclined to block right now is those people who say nobody will ever trust the US ever again even after Donald is gone. Thinking there is no hope of redemption for the US is virtually equivalent to complying in advance.

good news from maine

just block him, starving these guys of the social media oxygen they crave is — and has been from the beginning — the fastest way to get them to leave

Illinois has enshrined protections to meet this very moment. In a time of increasing overreach and hateful rhetoric, it's more important than ever to reaffirm our commitment to the rights and dignity of the LGBTQ+ community. You have a home here always.

The right tone to meet the moment. The Trump administration hates it because it’s like looking in the mirror for them.

i think this is worse in *most* ways, but it’s absolutely true that one way this is better is that all of this is horrifically unpopular

If we don't want to repeat history, we'd better be strong enough to learn from it. The authoritarian playbook starts with pointing to a group of people who don’t look like you and blaming them for your problems. When those issues are still there, what comes next?

This is incredibly privileged rhetoric on one hand and doomerism on the other Cope however you want but what the fuck happened to “become ungovernable”? We just abandon hope when shit gets hard? We abandon the less privileged who can’t or don’t want to leave?

Aaaaand here we go, @esqueer.net reveals her true fucking colors. She clearly doesn’t care about the millions of innocents that would die in this scenario, she just thinks people like me and any US minority are acceptable collateral that will justify “something better.”

yep! unpaywalled:

The fact that @esqueer.net has a publication called “The Dissident” that recently published a purple prose-filled article how things will never improve ever again is such a cruel fucking joke. You are not inspiring resistance Alejandra, you’re crushing morale

At this point, I cannot distinguish the difference between the fascists and the blackpilled nihilistic Leftists. Both relish the opportunity to make the world worse

Of course @esqueer.net is openly declaring that we’ve already lost against the fascists and there’s no reason to fight anymore

i believe in few things more strongly than that trans joy will win

love this type of poster. "errm, maybe you forgot but nothing good can ever happen again...?"

They made doomer cinema for kids

It's pretty notable that mainstream, establishment discourse never ever ever considers giving liberal politicians credit for crime reductions. It's almost axiomatic that if crime goes down under a center-left leader it's either unremarked upon, or must be driven by something else.

BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity. This is a major win for public health.

Among Democrats - "Do you support Democrats like Sanders and AOC who call for a more aggressive stance towards Trump, or moderate Democrats who are willing to compromise with Trump issues important to their base?" AOC/Bernie: 70% Moderate Dems: 30% Harvard-Harris / June 12, 2025

Doomer thoughts are like penises. It’s perfectly fine to have them, but maybe you shouldn’t always share them with the public.

I just like to post these data from time to time to puncture the mythological aura of mid 20th c protests. They were less popular than pretty much any 21st c mass action & people criticizing them used the same lines. Protest is about people coming together, shaping narratives, & building power.

If you're watching what is happening in the US, and you're not filled with a sense of hope, you're watching the wrong content. The propaganda is working on you. Stop giving away your power. Stop indulging Doomerism. Now is the time where the American people show the fascists who we are.

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

If Cuomo wins the mayorship, he will run for president - we have to stop him in his tracks. (And phew, @aoc.bsky.social connecting stopping Cuomo to ending the gerontocracy is extremely my shit.)

We should make June 14th No Kings Day permanently.

I read that as Downdictator. Time to log off…

Hundreds, maybe more, in Des Plaines, Illinois. The middle of this country fucking hates this guy.

I would guess this is about one quarter of the protesters at Lakeshore Blvd. 1 of 5 No Kings protests in the area. I estimate 80% of passing cars favored No Kings. This Un-parade is 2 miles long! The crowd was friendly & spirited. #nokings #indivisible #ROC #rochesterny #irondequoitny #teslatakedown

Let’s not mince words on exactly what the MAGA movement is.

Despite warnings from the law enforcement not to attend today’s No Kings rally after this mornings shooting of Minnesota lawmakers with the killer on the lose, the No Kings Rally is happening at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul.

This is what democracy looks like. Liberty and Justice for all. No Kings. We the people demand Due Process. No one is above the law. @alexwinter.com 📍Arvada, CO #arvada #nokings

Sadness from Golden Valley, MN #TeslaTakedown this AM. Those who showed up wore black arm bands for @melissahortman.bsky.social & victims. This location is abt 11 miles from where the assassinations occurred, suspect still at large. MAGA was there to celebrate DJT's b-day. @maddow.msnbc.com (1of2).

HAPPENING NOW: Thousands of protesters march through the streets of Houston, Texas for a “No Kings Day” rally against Donald Trump (Video: Joseph Trimmer)

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.

🧵 No Kings in northern MI! Heading to northern MI for a weekend or the summer? There are lots of No Kings events all over the place you can stop and join! Folks from Detroit, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, & Illinois all head “Up north” in the summer. 1st Cadillac, Manistee, Pentwater, & Ludington

Tomorrow we’ll be out on the streets for the No Kings protests. You can join our campaign in rallying against fascism in Evanston from 10 to 12 and Des Plaines from 1 to 3. See you there! www.mobilize.us/katforillino...
