You’re not alone. You’re not broken. You’re still here. And when you protect these forces in yourself, you make it easier for others to protect them too. That ripple effect is how movements survive.

Mike Johnson calls it a hate-America rally.
No, Mike, we’re the ones fighting for America.
We’re the people who still believe in truth over lies, law over loyalty, & the Constitution over a cult.
We’re not the ones betraying America, we’re the ones trying to save her. #NoKings

One thing I've noticed today is the mentioning of #NoKings Saturday by rightwing folks. Much more than the last one or any of the other big protests. The rhetoric is extremely hostile!! "Hate rally" it's being called.
I think it's a dog whistle to terrorize peaceful protesters!

tRump is responsible for the draining of scientific excellence in this country. "Of the 202 Nobel laureates in physics, chemistry and medicine this century, less than 70% hail from the country in which they were awarded their prize."

The most common destination for eventual Nobel laureates in physics, chemistry and medicine since 2000 is the United States, Nature has found.

Thank you to everyone who has shared their Affordable Care Act experiences with me over the past few weeks.

This much is clear: health care is too expensive, reducing these tax credits would make it even more so, and millions would lose coverage as a result.

Trump is trying to rule like a king. Sending masked agents into our cities. Targeting immigrant families. Terrorizing our communities.

But this country does not belong to kings, dictators, or him. It belongs to us.

On October 18, we rise to say #NoKings!
