Tax Day Is Met With Tea Parties (Published 2009)

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement.

Check out how tiny the crowds were:

Philly: 200
DC: "several hundred"
Boston: 500
Austin: 1,000
Houston: 2,000

To be unaware of one thing you don't wish to talk about is convenient.

To be unaware of *everything* you don't wish to talk about is either lying or incompetence. Or both.

The Republicans attacks on the No Kings protests are sickening.

To them, only pro-Trump speech is protected. If you oppose Trump - you "hate America" or you're a "terrorist".

What they're trying to do is simple: suppress turnout this weekend. Don't let them win.

This is potentially a massive story. Did DOJ plan for survivors? Do they have sufficient evidence to prosecute? What is US jurisdiction to prosecute? Where will they go next? When is their court date? Will they be indicted? Held at Gitmo? Returned to Venezuela? Be Epsteined?

He is mentioned in part because he has spoken about how militancy is sometimes required to counter fascism. In the introduction to his 2017 book …

Here is DHS Kristi Noem in Feb. 2024, declaring her outrage over the idea that then-President Biden was considering "usurping" state's rights by taking control of South Dakota's National Guard.

With her help, Trump is deploying the National Guard to his 4th city.

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent.

Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

This was genuinely not-horrible from Jeffries.

No rescission. No impoundment.

But the tax cuts works.

I co-wrote Trump’s first anti-terrorism plan in 2017-18. He’s not trying to stop “left-wing” terrorism. He is staging it.

His troop deployments are a false flag — meant to provoke a response in order to justify harsh crackdowns.

This is now very obvious.

Jack Smith didn't "tap" anyone's phone. He got phone records of potential insurrection suspects via lawful grand jury subpoenas. Just so happens some of those suspected of participating in January 6th were republican members of congress. If you don't want you phone records subpoenaed...

But I thought if you smeared someone and they were then the victim of violence, that meant you had to be fired from your job.

Or does Fox News only think that applies to teachers?

Burbank Airport will have no air traffic controllers Monday evening, FAA warns Burbank Airport is bracing for impacted operations as air traffic controllers begin to call out in greater numbers due to the government shutdown.

Thanks, Donald Trump!

Burbank Airport has ZERO air traffic controllers from 4:15pm to 10pm today because of YOUR government shutdown.

Update on the greatest coverup in the history of coverups:

SCOTUS would not consider Ghislaine Maxwell’s appeal.

Now it’s up to Jeffrey Epstein’s BFF to pardon her.

He’s currently pretending this isn’t the only thing he thinks about.

I hope you'll take a moment for these beautiful parting words from the incomparable Jane Goodall.

Why Gen Z protesters worldwide are flying an anime pirate flag Gen Z protesters from Indonesia and Nepal to Madagascar and Morocco, are rallying behind an unexpected banner: a grinning skull in a straw hat.

#ProudBlue

Gen Z protesters are uniting under an unlikely symbol

This is a world wide revolution of Gen Z.

They are finally getting it.

The wealthy are destroying our world.

And they are fighting back.

And it’s GLORIOUS!

This.
No funding for fascism.
No dollars for dictators.
And, if you want to turn up the heat, no payouts for pedophiles.

It's like y'all don't understand there is no peaceful way out of this situation even if they stop them temporarily It won't stop what's coming. The people who control Trump are not going to give up power without violence. Accept that reality

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

I hope everyone sees and understands why my tribe banned Kristi Noem from our reservation in Pine Ridge, South Dakota.

He’s not saying it because he believes it. He’s saying it because saying it makes other people believe it and provides justification for killing/imprisoning Americans for political beliefs.

this is wild: while Stephen Miller's guy was in Minnesota for his uncle's funeral, somebody was able to see his entire phone and take pictures of his Signal group chats talking about military deployments to Portland, and brought them to the Strib (gift link: www.startribune.com/trump-offici...)

U.S. government shuts down after funding bill fails in Senate Ahead of the government shutdown, Democrats and Republicans in Congress angrily blamed each other and refused to budge from their positions.

A partisan standoff over healthcare and spending triggered the first U.S. government shutdown in almost seven years at 12:01 a.m. ET Wednesday.

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."
