#NoKings protest in Philadelphia

Just met this man at the No Kings protest in Philly: Dan O’Neill.

Dan is an evangelical Christian, but says recently left a church bc its members were so uncritically supportive of Trump.

He says: “I have read the Bible recently, and everything I read in there, (Trump) is doing the opposite of.”

Philly is saying No Kings 💪

Lotta people at this Philly No Kings protest.

Like, a lot.

The Nashville #NoKingsDay rally has taken it to the streets…

happy amazon strike day to those who celebrate

Starbucks and Amazon workers on strike at the same time. Respect the picket lines, real and digital.

We should all have the backs of Amazon and Starbucks workers who are on strike this holiday season. They deserve better pay, hours, working conditions, and union recognition. Their greedy bosses should stop being Grinches, and grow hearts.

I was totally like, “I don’t remember this episode of Third Rock!”

NEW: UnitedHealth strategically limits access to critical treatment for autistic kids. Leaked documents show that the insurance giant is culling providers of applied behavior analysis from its network and scrutinizing the medical necessity of therapy. Advocates say United’s strategy may be illegal.

A Coast Guard Commander Miscarried. She Nearly Died After Being Denied Care. U.S. service members have long faced strict limits on abortions, even when used to resolve miscarriages. Under federal law, the military will only pay for abortions in cases of rape, incest or to save...

NEW: The morning that Cmdr. Elizabeth Nakagawa was scheduled to have a D&C to remove fetal tissue after losing a very wanted pregnancy, she learned the surgery had been canceled because the military’s health insurance refused to pay for it.

Certainly seems like a country that allows someone with a felony to be president should also allow someone with a felony to vote. Trump should not be president, but it is not because he was convicted of a felony. Plenty of people convicted of felonies go on to be incredible citizens.

All the books I've read from the list are excellent. I'll highlight "I'm Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter" as one I hope my son and daughter read when they are older. I want my kids to be able to read books with protagonists who are bilingual, multicultural, and multidimensional like us. #latines

No one *wants* to be right about this. There is *nothing to gain* from being right about a genocide unfolding. Yet for over a year people and organizations vilified those of us calling it a genocide. With each verification comes a renewed, suffocating, and endless grief.

#SouthKorea just provided Americans a blueprint for how to respond if #Trump tries to pull the same illegal and unconstitutional move that #yoon tried to pull on South Koreans. #Union workers, citizen... TikTok video by Ohh that's RICH

We Americans should pay attention to this. Union members and other citizens in South Korea defended their democracy yesterday. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTYyra5MW/

Screenshot of @_ericblanc’s tweet that reads “There hasn't actually been a major shift of young people to the right — this election mostly reflects a turnout collapse of young Democratic voters When you account for turnout, Trump in '24 barely got a higher % of youth than when he lost last time” It includes a graph that shows the blue bar taller in 2020 compared to 2024.

As for various groups shifting right, think of each voter group as a bag of marbles blue and red. A lot more of the blue ones stayed home because the candidates wanted red marbles. The bag seems to have more red not because they turned red but the blue ones left the bag. 8/
