Contacted my local Sinclair station and also their national advertising sales email address to say I won't be watching anything on my local affiliate until they bring Kimmel back.

Don't watch Sinclair or Nexstar affiliates until they bring back Kimmel!

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation Iโ€™ve seen. It โ€˜s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

They look they enjoyed this a lot more than Trump enjoyed his "perade".

Indivisible, the main sponsor, reports 4-5 million for No Kings.

The Guardian reports an estimated over 2 million protesters showed up in more than 2,000 locations. Other outlets, including Daily Beast and Financial Times suggest between 4 and 6 million across the country.

MAGA soooo worried about human trafficking. How easy would it be for goons like this to kidnap women/children and hold them "Silence of the Lambs" style in a basement somewhere? Maybe they already are. The government holds people for days without allowing anyone to know what's going on.

Because Lee hasn't really said this yet doesn't mean it's not his real position.

Trump has all but declared war on Democrats and states and cities led by Democrats. If the frickin' courts find his power to federalize the National Guard is "unreviewable" as his flunkie is arguing right now, it's going to lead to a lot of civil unrest and violence against the American people.

This is happening across America. Contributing members of society who are doing the right thing and showing up to immigration court are being ripped away from their families by Trump's ICE Gestapo. ๐Ÿฅบ๐Ÿ‘‡

Add thought bubble:

"And we're going to start by cutting grants for medical research, taking away healthcare, cutting their education funding, gutting environmental protections, making guns even more available, and deporting their friends and relatives."

Demonizing & criminalizing Democrats so the country accepts ordinary Americans in blue cities as deserving targets for political violence using the military as his enforcer. If the SCOTUS rules in Trump's favor when the CA Nat'l Guard case arrives, we are in deep, deep trouble.

A glaring mistake that shows he's lost a chunk of whatever brain cells he ever had. Meanwhile, the House will investigate Biden.

These guys wear masks & won't show ID. They take people & disappear them. Has it occurred to anyone that if a guy masquerading as a cop could kill 2 & wound 2 more, men disguised as ICE may have already kidnapped women or children & be holding them Silence of the Lambs style right now?
