Micah on Bluesky: “they are clearly trying to terrify everyone out of showing up to the No Kings protest and I simply do not think it is going to work see you all there”

Ron Filipkowski on Bluesky: “The No Kings protests have been some of the most peaceful and well attended political assemblies in American history. In fact, MAGA has mocked them as a bunch of boomer grandmothers. Now they are apparently terrorists.”

Jon Favreau on Twitter: “A top Republican in Congress just called millions of Americans terrorists. The last No Kings protests saw 4-6 million people turn out. They were peaceful. They were joyful. There were American flags everywhere. Those of us who will be participating next weekend in what Emmer calls a "hate rally" for "terrorists" love our country - particularly its promise that we're all created equal, that we all have the right to speak freely, to enjoy equal protection under the law, to believe what we want, and to choose our leaders without fear of reprisal. The No Kings protests are happening because Emmer and Trump and his regime are trampling on those rights and freedoms.”

Leah Greenberg on Bluesky: “"After a few moments of laughter, the No Kings Coalition issued the following statement"”

MAGA wants us afraid and divided, but we’re not backing down. Let’s make October 18 the biggest day of peaceful protest in American history: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

The MSM does not interview community organizers. It's part of why they miss so much of what happens at the local level.

Not only is this rude, inappropriate, partisan, costly, and illegal, it reveals the fundamentally anti-American idiocy of this administration’s policy of handing over to China the most important economic sector of the 21st century.

Sure, mocking fascists is always a dumb idea.

"No Kings" is the definition of loving America. The founders even wrote it down - in case you need a refresher. ##NoKings

Headline: Trump Has His Eyes on Nobel Prize. Will He Get It?

Adventures in framing:

Headline presenting this as a real-world question. Rather than as another sign of deepening vortex of narcissistic delusion and detachment from reality.

The impossibly dumb reason for Trump's invasion of Portland It'd be hilarious if he wasn't the commander in chief.

Today at @atrupar.com’s PN: Trump’s rationale for invading Portland is even dumber than you think.

At Doom, the government argues in court for no limits to Trump’s power.

We did that on Mexico’s Pacific coast once. Magical. But you have to stay an hour to fight off attacking seagulls until the babies are safely in the ocean.

This is good, from Hakeem Jeffries. More of this please, in every conceivable forum:

"Sycophants who aid and abet the President’s vengeful schemes will not be able to hide from the serious legal consequences of their behavior. They will be held accountable."

New York Attorney General Letitia James charged in fraud case after pressure campaign by Trump New York Attorney General Letitia James has been charged as part of a mortgage fraud investigation aggressively pushed by the Trump administration.

Letitia James is being criminally charged for the ‘crime’ of holding Trump accountable. This indictment is the clearest sign yet that Trump’s project isn’t just corruption — it’s monarchy. He’s using the power of the federal government to punish his public servants and protect himself.

Axios headline: “Mike Johnson faces growing internal revolt over shutdown”

The difference between Democrats surrendering in March and fighting back now is us. We’re building a unified opposition party that stands up to Trump’s regime and its enablers. Let’s encourage Democrats to keep fighting to protect healthcare for millions of Americans: indivisible.org/campaign/sto...

Chicago isn’t licking boots. No Trump No ICE No Troops.

Last minute protest downtown.

Coincidence. I'm sure he never watched "The Twilight Zone " - too intellectual.

I'll try again this year. Read a lot of great scripts last year. 👍

Thank you!

Oooh it’s the harvest moon!

Don’t forget to leave milk and cookies out for Neil Young tonight

As seen this evening, from the Brooklyn-Queens Express Way: NY ❤️ZOHRAN!

Congratulations!

We don't, there will be a new (and hopefully better) normal after this, that said, for the rest of our lives we'll have to be aware a non-trivial number of neighbors and fellows voted for actual fascism, and that's always going to be a bummer

Close up shot of some folded "How to Report ICE" zines on a table next to a pair of scissors.

@bkindivisible.bsky.social members also folded the incredible @meganpiont.bsky.social's awesome "How to Report ICE" zine for distribution!

You can find them here to fold/distribute yourself! drive.google.com/drive/folder...

As always, I share these photos to say YOU ARE NOT ALONE. There are awesome people and groups in your community that are fighting back, and you can join them!

If you're in Brooklyn, I HIGHLY recommend joining @bkindivisible.bsky.social. They DO stuff!

Every crisis is an opportunity. This is the moment for Dems on Capitol Hill to call a news conference and make clear: Not one dime to fund the federal government until Trump withdraws his unlawful orders and agrees not to send troops to occupy Democratic-run cities

San José City Council Supports ICE Mask Ban After Plainclothes Arrest | KQED The San José City Council showed strong support for a new policy that would prohibit federal officers from hiding their identity while working in the city.

This is the kind of power that state and local governments have to protect residents from Trump’s regime. Turn up the pressure on your governor, legislature, or city council to take concrete steps to stop Trump’s authoritarian immigration crackdown: www.bluestatedefiance.org/no-secret-po...

America needs to talk about how Trump’s deportation plan is really dictatorship | Will Bunch Team Trump isn't kidding about deporting millions if the ex-POTUS returns in 2025. It would destroy America, morally and economically.

ICE is doing a hell of a lot of harm in the Chicago area *right now.* I don’t mean to trivialize the national guard stuff, it absolutely is an irresponsible escalation, but the guard-centric convo around this really does understate what’s going on without any guardsmen.

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?

The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.

At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.
