Lexington KY. The tail end of a march that stretched 3-4 times longer than what I caught.
Not bad for a purple city in a red state.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

The system is broken.

Amazing changes can happen in a mere couple of months.

The Trump regime's lies about No Kings protests are getting more desperate and inflammatory as the White House gets more scared of the power of the people.

If MAGA protesters show to counter protest, DO NOT ENGAGE! They WILL provoke Violence.

Pritzker should absolutely say something here, but weโ€™re going to see these scenes play out across the country, and the Democratic Party in general needs to come up with a response that doesnโ€™t throw the people theyโ€™re encouraging to take the streets under the bus.

Is this the police you claim are there to protect protesters, Gov. Pritzker?

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. Theyโ€™ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally โ€” almost certainly incomplete โ€” includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Propublica does the good work.
I support them and I encourage everyone to join in.

While I am reluctant to ridicule age or infirmity (being at risk for both), I have to commend Mitch for such brilliant improvisational political theater when faced with a question where any answer would leave him on a political slippery slope with someone.

Canโ€™t wait to see the evidence at their trial now, since summary execution failed. There will be a trial with evidence, right?

This is potentially a massive story. Did DOJ plan for survivors? Do they have sufficient evidence to prosecute? What is US jurisdiction to prosecute? Where will they go next? When is their court date? Will they be indicted? Held at Gitmo? Returned to Venezuela? Be Epsteined?

literally no need for this

the protesters were just standing there, not causing any problems. then here come the police, causing problems.

I need @govpritzker.illinois.gov to tell these goons to go home. And if he can't or won't do so, I need to know that, too.

They want to take us back a century to the Gilded Age.
They keep it up, they just might make it all the way back to 1789.
