Our confirmed count stands at 8.1 million participants worldwide for yesterday’s No Kings protest. Thank you to everyone who helped verify the numbers through our submission website. While some MAGAs attempted to submit false or misleading data (such as reporting “one person” for major cities)

Don’t forget to attend your local #NoKings protest, treat it like you would a hike, come prepared and plan ahead. Wear comfortable shoes because you’ll be walking or standing for long periods. Check the weather before you go and dress accordingly, bringing layers, rain gear, or sunscreen as needed.

There’s a common feeling across the U.S. right now, a sense of helplessness. Many people want to do more but feel like they can’t. Remember: every action you take pushes the resistance forward.

Just posting this because it amuses me. Please feel free to steal it.

Always nice to stop and listen to the birds.

No veteran should have their social security number leaked, let alone passed to a political opponent by the government.

STUDY: Watching Only Fox News Makes You Less Informed Than Watching No News At All A study finds that watching Fox News may leave viewers less informed than not watching news at all, raising concerns about media influence.

What the study said was both FOX and MSNBC leave you less informed than more neutral sources like PBS do. That study was 13 years ago. www.businessinsider.com/study-watchi...

Netflix co-founder drops $2 million into Gavin Newsom's redistricting campaign Reed Hastings is a longtime Democratic donor and Newsom ally.

Just another reason to keep giving Netflix my money.

Starbucks CEO pay: $96 MILLION
Starbucks worker pay: $15,000

Coca-Cola CEO pay: $28 MILLION
Coca-Cola worker pay: $14,000

CEOs used to make like 20x the average worker.
In 2024, the average CEO earned 632x more.

The system is rigged.

We’re going to go on a rant for a minute, and yes we’re bringing some history with us. Back in 1755, Benjamin Franklin wrote words that still echo today: “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”

“The president cut your health care so he could build himself a golden ballroom” is a pretty easy message to sell

American football is a trauma generating cycle.

We have data.

But, let’s not stop the $$ flowing or the funny commercials, right?

Especially when it's the White Christians that come out as the bad guy, each and every time

The MAGA crowd call every bit of weather that effects liberals a judgement of God, but when Alligator Auschwitz floods and is danger of being washed away before it can open... crickets.

Nancy Mace via Twitter: https://x.com/NancyMace/status/1940825505504313450 Did Hakeem Jeffries just say the Declaration of Independence reads like an INDICTMENT? Did I hear that right? 1:30 PM · Jul 3, 2025

She has not read the Declaration of Independence.

A series of four photos from the all-nighter budget bill session. Caption says, "Senator Susan Collins sleeps on senate floor through Senator Schiff's reminder, 'Feeding hungry kids is not waste. This bill is going to take lunches out of school cafeterias." Collins awakes and rises, votes no to feeding kids. #BigUglyBill #VoteNo"

Well that just about says it all. #SleepySusan

Call her MORE. Stop by her offices. Wake her up.

There are only three political positions in America today

1) I like the fascism

2) I'll acquiesce to the fascism (reasons for this one vary: cowardice, access, denial, misguidedly thinking that acquiescence is savvy, etc)

3) I oppose the fascism

The rest is details

Remember the rebellion won’t be televised. But oppression breeds rebellion. We just want to say thank you again. Every time we need you, you show up.

The White House says it’s now limiting how much classified intelligence it shares with Congress, following criticism from lawmakers over the Iran bombing.

Fourth day of summer break and I’m still waking up tired.

This image is now absolutely everywhere over European media lmao

The Supreme Court issued a stay, effectively ruling, for now, that the Constitution no longer applies, at least not to immigrants. Fast-track deportations with no opportunity for judicial review violate the fundamental principle of due process, especially for people already on U.S. soil.

And here I stand both to impeach and purge

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.
