Thank you Portland. Their example of how to flip propaganda on its head not by contesting false claims about crime but by telling your own story clearly infused joy and ridicule into today's protests. And that is what breeds FOMO for next march.

Confronted with the peaceful resistance of everyday people loving their neighbors, this regime of the bullies for the billionaires inflicts violence. Thank you, again, all who confront this evil & greatest hopes your safety & continued strength.

It'll continue until there are direct consequences for the perpetrators.

Federal agents have fired tear gas and pepper balls at a No Kings protest outside an ICE detention centre in Portland, Oregon.

From the video I saw the protest was completely peaceful and the protesters were outnumbered about five to one.

This is a moment for courage, not cowardice. I proudly joined thousands of Coloradans at the Denver #NoKingsDayOct18th to defend our democracy. We must all do our part and use our voice. #copolitics

Proud to promote, join, and celebrate the turnout at Denverโ€™s #NoKings. Our democracy is a team sportโ€”and we need your voice.

Never any question that Chicago would turn out for #NoKings but it's still exciting to see these incredible- and yes, peaceful yet determined- crowds.

This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton.

Iโ€™m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

Our federal tax dollars are being used to fund a network of government social media accounts that pump out disinformation 24/7. Even during a government shutdown. Itโ€™s definitely not essential work.

The thing that upsets establishment pols and special interest groups and mega donors about Mamdani is that he has chosen toโ€ฆand is going toโ€ฆwin without them, without bending the knee to them. Worse for themโ€ฆand best for NY and Dems generally, is itโ€™s one of the reasons heโ€™s going to win.
