β€œBrown liquid.” Really? Anyone can see that it’s excrement if you can’t say he’s shitting on protesting Americans. This from the media org that couldn’t bring itself to call Trump’s lies lies…facilitating his success by soft-pedaling the reality.

Also, I took a trip through rural Pennsylvania not long ago and the place was blanketed with Trump flags flying next to Israeli flags. Sometimes you'd see Old Glory in the mix but not always. No biggie?

There are many, many American flags too.

This is a Mexican-American city. It's right there in the fucking name. Mexican-Americans are under siege here right now, undocumented immigrants and citizens alike. The Mexican flag is symbolizes the protest against that violent crackdown, nothing more.

The photos in the New York Times also don’t give any sense of the scale.

Would you know that millions of people showed up across the country?

These No Kings protests are twice as big as the last ones. But will they be twice as big as the next ones?

Republicans say they like fascism and Democrats say that they are against it. The truth is more complicated.

I'm no big expert on such things like the president, but this sure doesn't seem to meet the definition of "peace" or "ceasefire."

I said this a week after the election and have been saying it every month since. Maybe they get it now.

They use govt accounts, employees & resources to make partisan political messages.

They make partisan political speeches attacking the opposition party to troops routinely.

They get pardoned when they commit crimes.

They ignore the laws.

There is zero congressional oversight.

The fact that the Trump admin first reaction to people peacefully exercising their rights is to launch federal investigations against citizens to intimidate them is exactly why we were out there.

Trump solved his problem of having to present actual proof that the people they have been murdering on boats are narco terrorists by letting the two witness survivors of the last attack go home.

As one does with narco terrorists.

No Kings protesters in NJ & VA get to take all that energy to the polls now in very important elections in their states 2 weeks from now. Make your voices heard in the streets & at the ballot box. Vote against all Trump allies/enablers & send a message to the rest of them for us.

Why doesn’t MAGA just hold its own day of nationwide protests? Are they worried it might not go well? Strange, right?

Pritzker: Throughout history we've learned that tyranny doesn't arrive with dramatic proclamations. Most times it comes quietly wrapped in the language of law and order, with fingers pointed at someone who doesn't look like you, promising safety while demanding that we sacrifice our neighbors.

Rubio promised to betray U.S. informants to get Trump’s El Salvador prison deal To secure U.S. access to President Nayib Bukele’s notorious CECOT prison, Rubio agreed to turn over several MS-13 leaders central to a long-running Justice Department investigation.

The Trump administration's dirty deal with Bukele keeps getting dirtier.
