Objection! I put in the extra effort to say “You, in the teal shirt. No, not you, you’re wearing aqua and that’s not even a shirt, it’s a hand-embroidered caftan.” Manners are in noting the details, amirite? No?
Kendra Sullivan, this too is what patriotism looks like. I also appreciate the police officers who protected her right to protest.
Hero’s of the day - In a small town of Beckley, WV, Kendra Sullivan staged a one-woman No Kings protest. She was confronted, had the police called on her, but stood her ground. She was physically threatened. Police came more than once and protected her right to protest. This is how we do it.
Ha! Good luck with that. We’re all pretty lucky to have the older generation we have.

Harrisburg, PA — there are so many older women in banana suits at the Capitol holding antifa signs and none of that sentence would have made sense to me 10 years ago
TY. Much as I hate to think about that ghoul at all, your supposition comforts me.
Hey! I thought I told you to paint me like one of your French Cats. What, you couldn’t have posed me on a red velvet fainting couch? Even red velour would have worked! Sheesh!
What good timing! I have always been peak cringe, 0% cool. And hell yes, I’m all about good governance and real democracy! #NoKings #VotingRights #ListenToBlackWomen #PatriarchyAndWhiteSupremacyAreIntertwined #CynicismLeadsNowhere #OverlyOvertlyErnest
After 2024, pundits brushed off the Resistance as cringe. I submit: Yes, it was. And cringe is good. Cringe, in fact, will save democracy.
Resistance Is Cringe
But it’s also effective.

Since 1776, over 41 million Americans, excluding Donald Trump, served our country.

Name ONE who fought for a convicted felon to escape prison, pardon insurrectionists and use our military against political opponents.

On #NoKingsDay and every day USE your freedom to stand up to fascism. Or LOSE it‼️
You know what also matters, Mr. Federal DHS Dude? You are a fascist. That matters to decent people now, and it will probably matter to you when genuine patriots (most of them Black people) get this country back on track and kick to the curb traitors to the the best ideals of the American Experiment.
Nah, if Charlotte were George Soros I’d have been getting my checks for years. Every week. On time. 😏
And tacky golden sneakers, right? Or did those just kind of drift off into the ether? So hard to track which Trump merch is in and which is out! #NoKingsOfCons
This kind of natural disaster is why we need FEMA. Rapid, coordinated rescue is an example of the proper deployment of the National Guard. Our agencies and services exist to help Americans, not attack them.
Some tracking, guidance, and vaccine availability is better than none. Hoping this alliance spreads, so preventable diseases won’t spread even faster than they already are. #AbsenceOfPublicHeathEqusAWorldOfPublicHurt #PublicHealthIsAll
15 US states and territories have formed a new Public Health Alliance, which will counter the absence of federal leadership by tracking outbreaks, issuing guidance, buying vaccines and more.

Members of the new alliance include CA, CO, CT, DE, GU, HI, IL, MD, MA, NJ, NY, NC, OR, RI, WA.
Off the island you go, Andrew. #ZohranForNYCMayor
Andrew, we're voting you off the island and back to the suburbs.

Our new ad just aired during Survivor.

The government shutdown shows no signs of ending soon. Social Security & Medicaid benefits will keep going out, but, people could be w/o other benefits, like SNAP & WIC very soon. AAPD created a resource that explains what’s at stake if the shutdown doesn’t end soon. www.aapd.com/explainer-wh...
