Yesterday's No Kings protests were apparently the largest since the first Earth Day in 1970
The NYT covered that story with a six column headline across the top of the paper and two full pages inside
Today, two small pics below the fold and a story on page A23

Looks like the Tennessean paper is going to downplay the size of the #NoKings protest in Nashville yesterday. There had to be approx 10k people and they are saying hundreds...

Lmfao at the cop screaming โIโm not gonna have somebody out here dressed like this!โ These people were just itching to lock someone up and an inflatable dick costume was the best they could manage. Absolutely pathetic showing from a bunch of miserable assholes.

Find a No Kings protest Saturday and go!
Don't worry that you've never been to a protest before. Don't worry about being dressed wrong or looking out of place. Don't worry that you don't agree about everything -- or even about much -- with lots of people at the protest.

I can't seem to find anything, but has @govpritzker.illinois.gov addressed the fact that ISP is doing ICE's bidding? Has he lost control of them, or is this ok in his book?

Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."

North Carolina Republicans' proposed congressional gerrymander would likely elect an 11-3 GOP majority in a 50-50 swing state.
Black Democrat Don Davis' 1st District would shift from Trump+3 to Trump+12 & likely elect a white Republican.

The North Carolina Supreme court elections of 2020 & 2022, where the GOP flipped *4* seats, have proved extraordinarily consequential in the following years. It's allowed Republicans to gerrymander their way from a 7-7 map to now a 11-3 map.

Chris Murphy: "This is a country that's falling apart because Trump is in the middle of an authoritarian takeover. We're not on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We're in the middle of it ...

If a party that loses by 5 percentage points still gets to control the legislative body, do you really live in a democracy? And if you don't live in a democracy, why should your state remain a part of that union?
