This is a recount from a reporter who attended Trump’s parade. You should check it out. She describes Trump’s supporters enduring “real misery” before the parade even started. Contrast that w/the millions of us who enthusiastically endured heat and rain to protest Trump and stand up for democracy.

I signed the final bills Melissa Hortman shepherded through the most narrowly divided legislature in the county. All of them bipartisan. We debated, we found common ground, and we compromised. That’s how democracy should function.

I'm under no illusion that we're still in a minority as same sex parents, but the fact that the eldest was able to get this card without any trouble says how far we've come as a society.

We jumped on BlueSky after November 6, specifically to generate US protests and trigger mass movements under the principles of Binding Chaos and the #3E movement. To end impunity, end oligarchy, and end autogenocide. If you are here because of us, we appreciate all the work you have done. #3E

Rand Paul: "I've never liked the idea of the parade. I grew up in the '70s and '80s, and the only parades I can remember are Soviet parades for the most part or North Korean parades. The parades I remember from our history were different...we never glorified weapons so much...then there is the cost"

Yesterday, millions of us reasserted the “We” in "We the people." We gained strength from our solidarity. We celebrated our numbers and our power. We will be steadfast. We will not cower to a dictator. We will win.

To our friends & allies across the globe who today stood in solidarity with those of us in the US who are angry, scared, & mortified: thank you for your grace, your light, & your empathy. Thank you for your support of those of us who aren't in the cult. We see you & are grateful.

Boycotts against Trump outside of the US are already happening, there is a need for a domestic one inside the US. These are tricky as they will inflict damage to local economies. The Olympics and FIFA World Cup games need to be cancelled; removing them from the US will be a major blow to the regime.

As the co-chair of the British American Parliamentary Group, it was a pleasure to host Members of Parliament from the United Kingdom this week on Capitol Hill. We discussed ways to promote and grow the economic & trade relationship between our two countries.

What a contrast: On the one hand, one grandiose spectacle in the nation's capital, a panorama of propaganda put on by an aspiring autocrat. On the other hand, thousands of assemblies of free citizens across the nation, authentic celebrations of the proposition that here the people rule.

You can’t see me bc I’m holding a flag but guys I live in a 2k person extremely rural town in one of the reddest counties of WI. So many people showed up there was a line all the way to the highway. I often feel a bit afraid due to my identity in this area but #nokings brought out so many
