There are over 2,200 peaceful protests planned for October 18. Ensuring all of those events and organizers have the training, support, and resources they need is a massive undertaking. Please pitch in if you can to help make No Kings Day historic!
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.
This was the situation in LA too. If they weren’t here, there would be no violence.
These were regular people, including elderly veterans and children, who were repelled by ICE with tear gas and pepper ball rounds, after a peaceful march to the ICE facility

Good morning.
The government is shut down because Trump wants to act like a king and steal from you.
Democrats have no obligation to support a budget that funds the destruction of our democracy - and DOUBLES health premiums to fund a tax cut for billionaires.
Ha!
Not used to it tho
I would like every single member of the local Democratic Party apparatus who started shit with me over my Charlie Kirk “sowing/reaping” post to watch this and then think long and hard about where the fuck you want to direct your attention these days
@jessicavalenti.bsky.social is very right that Ezra Klein is very wrong, both morally and strategically, with this argument that throwing half the population under the bus (the half that already leans more Democratic).
IT’S OFFICIAL: We now have more protests planned for October 18 than there were back in June.
It’s not even October yet but you’ve already put 2,100 events on the No Kings map.
We hope to see you at the largest day of peaceful protest in American history: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings
The alleged shooter in Michigan. Weird that Vance and Patel haven’t tweeted out this info. 🤷🏽♂️👇🏽

If you read anything today, let it be Nikole Hannah Jones’ essay on how Charlie Kirk’s death is doubling as an invitation to transform white supremacist views into normal political discourse www.nytimes.com/2025/09/28/m...
"I spoke to the governor, she was very nice, Trump said. "But I said, 'Well wait a minute, am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening? My people tell me different.' They are literally attacking and there are fires all over the place...it looks like terrible." Looney
BREAKING NEWS: Oregon sues Trump administration over unlawful federalization of National Guard. Read more.
To live like a hunted creature--one thing I think about a lot is that it's not just the people who are grabbed but everyone who could be and everyone who loves them who's terrorized by the thuggocracy.
The stage of deterioration where gangs of large (mostly) white men just publicly assault people who seem to be brown because they're brown in the hopes of doing far more harm to them in the name of the state. Glad this one escaped.
As they lie about all of us, everywhere, all the time! May Portlands endearing weirdness and warm heart be too much for the traitors who continue to follow illegal orders. 🙏🙏
As more info comes in this needs to be said: if it wasn’t some left wing radical that did it, and it appears it wasn’t, there need to be massive pushback because they are STILL pretending it’s some culture war and it is only in their own minds
Dangerous times
So after two straight days of Republicans saying trans people and the Left did this, threatening full on violence, it turns out the suspect is a politically unaffiliated white dude who was trained to use guns by his Republican law enforcement dad? Do I have that right?
MAGA 3 days ago: Chicago is about to find out the meaning of WAR
MAGA today: the left needs to stop condoning violence
And here come calls for political violence to show that political violence is bad, calls for political violence against those who have not to anyone's knowledge actually committed said political violence. Once you escape truth, anything goes.... www.wired.com/story/far-ri...
Arguably this too is political violence. Opening the way for terrorization, brutalization, and homicide against women who dare to resist subjugation and violation.
They are going to claim we (left/liberals/Democrats/non-white non-supremacists) said whatever is most convenient for them to say we said, no matter what we say. So all the appeasement is pretty much in vain.
This is a very Nazi thing to say, actually.
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."
He joked multiple times about Paul Pelosi getting smashed in the skull with a hammer.
This guy couldn’t be bothered to say a single word when one of his political allies assassinated the Speaker of the Minnesota House.
Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life.
The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.
