As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed.

The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

Wake up, babe, the least subtle visual metaphor in history just dropped

@wyden.senate.gov you can repost this!

A protest by itself doesn't fix things, but neither does doing nothing. I have to do what I can, when I can, and today that means marching and chanting and showing that there are millions of us across the country who oppose this administration #nokings #nokingsportland

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

"some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily execute civilians" says today's New York Times, continuing their long tradition of whitewashing fascism

Absolute all-timer sentence in today's @nytimes.com

There are credible reports that federal agents may be replaying the 2020 playbook and surging into Portland with the goal of provoking conflict and violence in my hometown. I am in close contact with state and local officials to monitor this activity.

Morning reading in “war ravaged Portland” #booksky #portland

I read 1984.
And Fahrenheit 451.
And A Brave New World. And The Handmaid‘s Tale.
And The Giver.
And The Road.
And The Lottery.
And The Parable of the Sower.
And The Hunger Games.

I know what I’m seeing.

Decrying violence against political opponents rings a bit hollow when you pull Secret Service protection from your political opponents.

Especially ironic that his partner and cofounder of TPUSA who campaigned against Covid vaccines and other preventative measures, himself died of Covid. It’s almost like they aren’t actually in the business of promoting policies that are beneficial to individuals and to society as a whole.

Both of the co-founders of Turning Point USA died from things that were preventable, but which they mocked and urged this nation to ignore. Bill Montgomery was killed in 2020 by COVID and Charlie Kirk was killed in 2025 by gun violence.

Our current reads. We’re both loving both series! #booksky

It’s not just that the President of the United States posted a video of eleven people being murdered in international waters it’s that the President of the United States ordered the murder of eleven people in international waters so he could post a video of it.

You are living through the unthinkable: the president of the United States using the military to seize domestic power. The greatest crisis of executive power in American history, at the hands of the worst, most corrupt, and most unfit president in American history.

DC is FORTY-ONE PERCENT Black.

Do you understand?

Bowser: "I think I speak for all Americans -- we don't believe it's legal to use the American military against American citizens on American soil."

Just finished this series and loved it! #booksky

“When the Executive publicly announces its intent to break the law, and then executes on that promise, it is the Judiciary’s duty to check that lawlessness, not expedite it.”

-Justice Sonia Sotomayor

We shouldn't need a Black Women’s Equal Pay Day, but here we are. Still underpaid. Still undervalued.

66 cents on the dollar means we lose thousands every year, for doing the same job.

Over a lifetime? That’s hundreds of thousands gone.

Pay Black women. Period.

Congratulations, the universe sent you this dog because you have been chosen. Joy awaits. 13/10

I talked with my kids about ways we can make our voices heard and they decided to write letters to their representatives. This one had me in tears

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore.

Make it make sense.

There are no distractions. It's all bad. Systematically stripping trans people of their rights, guys in balaclavas shoving any brown person with a tattoo into a ummarked vans, ending healthcare for millions. It's all in service of fascism and technofeudalism. It's all one thing. That's the point.

To show just how expansive Portland's #NoKings march is, the front of the parade on the Morrison Bridge, and the back of the parade is on the Hawthorne Bridge.

Happy #NoKingsDay to all who celebrate! #Portland showed up strong!

Especially if you're on the fence about it, protest today. Fascism is isolating and lonely. Its very goal is to make you feel like you're the only person unwilling to accept a cult of personality. On days like today you fully realize there are more of us than there are them. You will feel better.

On 6/12, DHS Sec’y Kristi Noem said “We are staying here to liberate [LA] from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and mayor have placed on this country and this city.” This use of military force to displace a democratically elected is the very definition of a coup.
