1. Last night, John Oliver destroyed Bari Weiss and specifically called out her inaccurate and targeted coverage of transgender people.

It's the latest of several shows Oliver has done in defense of trans people.

Weiss at CBS is a disaster for trans people.

At the last peaceful no kings march SPD was waving in support & high fiving people. We should expect the same on Saturday. If any insurrectionist “ice” patsy bully tries to bully us they will be met with momma’s shame- remember: there are more of us.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

Obscene that we taxpayers are paying cops to be private security guards for a corporation. The Nextdoor crowd should be irate that 911 response times are slow because cops are protecting hats at Marshall’s

We can expect the federal gov't goons will plant fascist thugs into the peaceful protests on Saturday. They will do what they did in Seattle & Portland in 2020. We can expect it. They are weak. They are desperate. They know they are about to go down.

"The tables will turn one day," @govpritzker.illinois.gov said. "These people should recognize that maybe they’re not gonna get prosecuted today, although we’re looking at doing that, but they may get prosecuted after the Trump admin because the statute of limitations would not have run out.”

Trump said he'd focus on the “worst of the worst," but he's mostly focused on people like Melissa Tran — a MD business owner who's lived here 30 yrs and is a fixture of her community.

Cruel.

I salute all who fought for her release. After months in ICE detention, she's finally home.

One small consolation: like Everything the insane felon has done, the medal of freedom awarded today will be taken back. This country will no longer reward racist bigots & misogynists. & not to be catty but I’m gonna: what’s the deal with all maga women trying to look like they’re in their late 50’s

Chris Van Hollen for Senate Minority Leader.

We need someone at the helm who understands the fight we're in and is willing to fight it. As far as I've seen, no one in the Senate Dem caucus is speaking with more clarity or conviction.

Senator Chris Van Hollen @vanhollen.senate.gov · 1d

These are the same kind of weasels who would’ve called George Washington & America’s revolutionaries “terrorists.” They spend their days sucking up to King Trump & demonizing peaceful protest just as some in America sought to appease King George III.

Looking forward to No Kings Day.
