Over 250 Photos From Around the Nation and the World From the Historic “No Kings Day” Protests Almost no one showed up to Donald Trump’s surprisingly timid, depressing, and generally lackluster birthday party in Washington, but protests against him were bursting at the seams across the globe.

(🧵) I’ve never—in 30 years in journalism—published a report like this: one that could genuinely bring hope. I spent the last 15 hours curating and labeling photos from hundreds of No Kings Day protests. It’s the largest archive of its kind and it has *lots* of Easter eggs (memes, an essay and more).

Wow. Listen to Bruce Springsteen kick off his European tour, talking about what is happening here.

This Is the Way a World Order Ends Americans once associated spheres of influence with a cynical, volatile European past. Now Washington is resurrecting them.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Well, Donald, in just three months, you’ve turned your nation into a spectacle of disgrace.

You think Canada is the nastiest country you’ve ever dealt with, yet you kiss up to Vladimir Putin, a war criminal...

Our film #UNFIT (2020) helped shine a light on several key terms (like Malignant Narcissism) and tactics (like Gaslighting).

Here's a short excerpt from #UNFIT about Gaslighting - which is something we now see from the Right ... all day, every single goddam day.

Remember - this was from 2020:

Opinion | A Great Unraveling Is Underway Trump’s foreign policy philosophy is not “containment” or “engagement,” but “smash and grab.”

"Top officials of our oldest allies say privately they fear that we are becoming not just unstable, but actually their enemy. The only person who gets treated with kid gloves is Putin..."

Here's an unsolicited plug for Josh Marshall's Talking Points Memo media site: I've started my day with @tpm.bsky.social since the G.W. Bush administration, relying on its deep political insight and dot connecting. Check it out, and consider becoming a member to support what it's doing so well:

just taking tonight to really appreciate all these years of journalistic tut-tut-tutting about how over-the-top it was for anyone to focus on trump's affinity for russia and putin.

Sunday Times.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II.

Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

I can't think of a faster way to undermine the country than simultaneously firing government workers, cutting scientific research, rolling back protections on public health & environment, & cutting essential services. It's like the US was defeated in war and is being occupied by a hostile enemy.

Vance Gets Creepy About Immigrants, Again Last time he spun a yarn about Haitians eating people’s pets, this time he’s mocking Ukrainian Americans who oppose Putin’s war.

As the granddaughter of four Ukrainian refugees who came to the U.S. between 1896-1909 so they could SURVIVE, I'm beyond disgusted by JD Vance's words. This country has prospered on the backs of immigrants and we must not let him forget it.

Don’t Blame Zelensky The Ukrainian president isn’t the problem.

The NYT article blaming Zelensky for annoying Trump was wrongheaded and I thought it needed a response.

Picture of Kamala Harris with her quote- a patriot is not someone who condolence the conduct of our country whatever it does. It is someone who fights every day for the ideals of the country whatever it takes.

Say it plainly: The president is a psychopath “Get rid of the ballots” and “there won’t be a transfer,” said Donald Trump on Wednesday. This comment is a direct and dangerous expression of his anti-democratic inte…

Banters Bulletin: THE GAZA RIVIERA Trump is an Imperialist Imbecile

The ‘Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly’ of the United States Government Elon Musk’s bureaucratic coup is underway.

1/ Charlie Warzel writes, "I fear that the focus on the particulars of this unqualified assault on our government is like looking at X’s bottom line, in that it obscures Musk’s real ambitions.

Rachel Maddow spoke with Bishop Mariann Budde on her show tonight. Well worth listening to. Bishop Budde's whole personality warms my heart.
