A thrill to find my sign at @hyperallergic.com 's Best Signs of the May Day #NoKings protest. Chicken #GOP is still chicken, still laying golden eggs for billionaires, lobbing rotten eggs at the rest of us. Upside down flag is sign of distress. It's November but still saying #Mayday. No Kings.

Devastatingβ€” β€œI’m afraid for my parents to leave the house. They treat us like dogs because of the color of our skin. I shouldn’t be scared, I should be focusing on school.”

Mifepristone is safe and effective. It’s been FDA-approved for 25 years. We should be working to make access to this medicine EASIER, not harder. #AbortionAccurate

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): β€œIf this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

THREE WAYS TO TAKE ACTION NOW

1. Donate to your local food bank.

2. Collect and distribute to your local community shelter. Check with your local organizations first to see what they need most.

3. Host a give-back drive in your community. Visit NoKings.org/alliance to learn more.

Blakeman loses latest round in court battle over Nassau 'militia' A state judge ruled Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman had no valid legal basis to characterize the lawsuit filed by legislators as an attempt to silence him.

"It’s important to challenge any effort by an executive, locally or nationally, to silence his constituents through the courts," said Carey Dunne, of the Free + Fair Litigation Group. "We now look forward to addressing the legality of the county executive’s secret militia." #PrivateMilitia

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

The 3 districts facing the highest premium hikes if ACA tax credits expire are all Republican-led districts:

WY: +693%
WV-01: +654%
WV-02: +599%

Republicans would rather abandon their constituents than work with us to reopen the government and protect their health care.

What’s next after the historic No Kings protest? Seven million just turned out for the largest protest in US history, and there are growing signs of defections and defiance.

Noncooperation is people refusing to participate in their own oppression. Every act chips away at the machinery of compliance β€” and can lead to large mass noncooperation actions. #boycott #strike #resist #ICEout

See which CT towns have 'No Kings' protests planned against the Trump administration 40 protests are scheduled around the state for Saturday, as part of a nationwide protest effort against the Trump administration.

"It's an absolutely joyous celebration and a celebration of our country, and basically the celebration of democracy. That's what we're fighting for. We're really framing this as a celebration of activism, highlighting the many ways that people can get involved." #NoKings @50501movement.bsky.social
