#NoKings Austin tagging in.

Massive crowd at the Texas State Capitol despite Gov. Greg Abbott’s activation of the National Guard.

Oregon AG Rayfield: The first thing that might’ve told you the federal government wasn’t doing so hot was when they started off some of their arguments by talking about Truth Social as their source of facts.

Actually got a comment from the judge: “Is this really how you’re going to move forward?”

Political violence of every sort should be condemned and voices seeking to use the Kirk killing for political gain should NOT BE AMPLIFIED. @nbcnews.com @cbsnews.com @cnn-news.bsky.social @foxnews.com.web.brid.gy put our country & our safety over clicks.

Federal Judge Rules Trump's Deployment of National Guard to Los Angeles Illegal This ruling can set precedent for Trump's deployment to Chicago and elsewhere

NEWS: A federal judge has ruled that Trump’s deployment of military forces to Los Angeles violated the Posse Comitatus Act, a law that prohibits the use of the armed forces as a domestic police force.

Trump is threatening a Republican-led “comprehensive crime bill."

The president offered no other details, but his current occupation of D.C., and his countless unsubstantiated claims about how bad the streets of America are, can help us guess. trib.al/hfeeYe1

What are you doing about it, Senator?

Right. Same thing as 2020 [see below].Through 2 debates and a session on Economics in Chicago during the 2024 campaign I never heard a reporter bring up the cost of the 2020 tariffs & the bailout to farmers WE paid for to cover Trump’s tariff folly. I’m sick of it.

🔥 STEWART: “This is the lie they tell you — that all this money flowing towards corporate interests is actually for YOUR benefit…. That government intervention for corporations is our ‘FREE MARKET’, but government intervention for workers is ‘SOCIALISM’.

BOSTON’S @mayorwu.boston.gov (D) to Trump’s AG Puppet Pam Bondi: "Silence in the face of oppression is not an option… The US AG asked for a response by today, so here it is - Stop attacking our cities to hide your administration's failures."

Oregon Rejects DOJ’s Request To Share Private Voter Data, Citing Concerns of Unlawful Use Read more here.

Oregon’s Secretary of State declines to discuss a potential deal with the DOJ to share private voter data with the federal government, saying the administration wants to use the data to "silence the people and undermine our elections."

NYT analysis For Trump, Cities Like Washington are Real Estate in Need of Fixing Up

Sane-washing a fascist take over of our nation's capital as just a real estate mindset.

The level of complicity in the rise of this authoritarian regime is insane.

Forget Bondi and Patel, who is the headline writer for the @nytimes.com ?

This is a BIG DEAL. @housedemocrats.bsky.social and @democrats.senate.gov need to come back to D.C. and stand united to denounce this abuse of power. This cannot be business as usual.

So on point.

Our Bluesky account has been validated!

Now let's validate the vote from the 2024 U.S. election.

Like, comment, and share if you agree!

Or because they know the elections will be rigged?

Tax rates on the ultra rich have been plummeting for decades, and they now pay less than the bottom half.

But it’s never enough. This is the Republican agenda. On display again tonight — as they pretend to care about the debt.

Make this go viral.

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

We need to ensure that the incredible organizing and inspiring courage of yesterday’s #NoKings protests continue to spread. On tomorrow’s mass call, we’ll discuss how we do that with concrete action steps to overcome authoritarianism. Please join us: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

HAPPENING NOW: Young protester calls out Donald Trump for his military parade, failed policies, and urges others to get out and protest

📍No Kings Day protest

Immigrants = Economic Growth

As we resist Trump’s tyranny, we gain solidarity. 

As we gain solidarity, we feel more courageous — and we weaken Trump and his regime. 

Today's protests are about standing up to Trump, but they're also about standing with each other. 

Be safe. Be peaceful. Be strong.

HAPPENING NOW: NASHVILLE’s “No Kings” Rally

📸 from @klasfeldreports.com

Gov. Gavin Newsom: “Tomorrow, I imagine millions of people are going to get out and protest. If you’re filled with rage, as I am, by what is going on, and the militarization of great American cities, that when you’re out protesting you do it peacefully. Do not play in to Donald Trump.”
