(around an image of the No Kings logo) ITβS OFFICIAL
Nearly 7 million people have attended today's peaceful protests, which makes No Kings Day the biggest single-day protest against tyranny in American history!
With more than 2,700 lawful and peaceful protests across all 50 states, No Kings Day was 14 times larger than both of Trump's presidential inaugurations (combined).
After a week of ridiculous Republican smears and Trump claiming that βvery few people are going to be there,β you just made history. #NoKings

ICE Agent Threatens to Shoot Ambulance Driver Helping Protester
Federal agents swarmed an ambulance crew to prevent them from taking an injured protester to the hospital.
ICE agents interfered withβand even threatened to βshoot and arrestββemergency personnel rescuing an injured protester last week in Portland.
The agent βpointed his finger at me in a threatening manner,β the driver recalled, βand began viciously yelling in my face.

Why protest is patriotic
Protestors believe that action has meaning. Protestors are exercising the rights enshrined in the Constitution. For me, protest is about love of country. I will be there on October 18th, and I hope you will be too.

WGA Statement on ABC's Decision to Pull βJimmy Kimmel Live!β
The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice.
As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree.
Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich.
Silencing us impoverishes the whole world.
The WGA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

Our democracy is not self-executing. It depends on us all as citizens, regardless of our political affiliations, to stand up and fight for the core values that have made this country the envy of the world.

One of the saddest things is when children have cancer, immune deficiency or need bone marrow or organ transplants.
And to add insult to injury, theyβre unable to receive vaccines.
But YOU can do your part to help protect them by immunizing yourself & your family.
We are ALL in this together.

Under the Republican "Big, Ugly Bill," high-income individuals are expected to gain approximately $12,000 per year, whereas working-class Americans may face an additional annual burden of $1,600. This administration is the reverse Robin Hood, taking from the poor to give to the rich.

βItβs the largest redistribution from poor to rich in a single bill in American history.β
It's a play in three regressive parts:
1. Tax cuts for the rich.
2. Spending cuts on the poor.
3. Tariffs that hit low-income folks hardest.
