the president, cabinet, gop all telling us that NoKings rallys are domestic terrorism is an incitement for violence against peaceful, lawful protesters, expressing their right to assembly and to speak out and to disagree.

let’s be careful out there.

NoKings!!

It really is bizarre to me that every single member of GOP House leadership & the admin has decided their coordinated talking point this week is that the No Kings demonstrations this Sat are essentially acts of domestic terrorism. Are they that afraid of free & peaceful assembly?

There’s a common feeling across the U.S. right now, a sense of helplessness. Many people want to do more but feel like they can’t. Remember: every action you take pushes the resistance forward.

So we should forget about when you called Trump “America’s Hitler” when you were 31 years old?

Nah, we’re good, it’s the only time you’ve told the truth.

He's defending them because he agrees with them. He knows 20-40 year olds are not "kids who made a mistake". He's playing it down because he sees nothing wrong with what they said.

The Rule of Law is dead in the U.S.

Understand, this doesn’t mean every case is now rigged or otherwise unfair. It means the ultimate arbiters of legality, the government actors at the top, have the clear option of ignoring the law whenever it suits Project 2025’s implementation.

This Supreme Court case in Louisiana is about one thing, and one thing only: reinstituting Jim Crow by way of ensuring that Black Americans are taxed without receiving representation in Congress.

Everything else is noise and bluster.

This stolen Supreme Court is going to send us back to the 1860s.
