Let the world hear loud and clear today: America will never have a king.
Nevada City has a bike bus every Friday. Bike bus is where kids meet at “stops,” much like a bus route and ride their bikes to school together. The group is escorted by parents and other community members. #BikeBus

#NoKings rallies in solidarity with the US.
1.) Stockholm
2.) Amsterdam
3.) Paris.
It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring.
Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.
Some more scenes from the #NoKings protest this morning in Orlando. Everyone was in such a joyful mood!! 😃

“The facts do not justify the President’s actions.”
The federal courts continue confirming what we all know: there’s no need to deploy military troops in Illinois.
"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis
Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today.
We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.
“I live in Chicago if folks haven’t noticed,” she said. “And I’m not blind, right?”
“I’m getting images and seeing images on the news, in the paper, reading reports where I’m having concerns about my order being followed,” the judge said.
Good!
ICE goons will do all they can to wiggle out

I have received deeply concerning reports about an aggressive ICE activity that escalated into a vehicle collision in an Oxnard neighborhood. This situation raises serious alarm given the troubling pattern of misconduct and abuse by immigration enforcement officials across the country.

After driving down the market price of the overdose-reversing naloxone, we're now working to do the same for insulin.
California is taking direct action by supporting contracting for a quality, low-cost insulin supply — and we will keep fighting to slash costs for Californians.
On top of detaining U.S. citizens, ICE is now fining legal residents for not carrying their papers.
It was never about going after the “worst of the worst.” It was always about cruelty.
Trump is spinning further out of control, causing more chaos, and lawlessly consolidating authoritarian power.
Courts ruled his CalGuard takeovers and local militarizations are illegal.
If Trump lived in reality, he'd see crime dropping in SF. Troops don't belong on American streets.
“You can’t shoot ‘em in the head (with pepper balls),” the judge said. “You can’t deploy tear gas. You can’t use flash-bang grenades. You can’t drive a car through a crowd.”

Chris Murphy: "This is a country that's falling apart because Trump is in the middle of an authoritarian takeover. We're not on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We're in the middle of it ... I have no moral obligation to vote for a budget that literally funds the destruction of our democracy"

Their commitment is to our nation. That’s why they’re speaking out against what the President's doing as uncalled-for, unprecedented, and un-American.
The founders assumed a guy like Trump would come along. They never assumed a congress would so willingly give up their power

Federal resources aren’t campaign tools. Secretary Kristi Noem's new TSA video crosses the line, violating the Hatch Act with blatant political messaging.
We’re urging California airports to stand firm against this unlawful federal pressure and refrain from airing the video.
The courts are catching up 👏

Just because we're not violent doesn't mean we're superficial. We can stand up for our beliefs without causing harm or danger to our fellow humans.

You can criticize No Kings for not being directly confrontational, i suppose, but the political mobilization of millions of people is in no way "superficial"
Calling it superficial means you fundamentally misunderstand what is going on.
It is a demonstration of mass.
