NEW: A huge ice sculpture of the word “DEMOCRACY” is currently melting away in front of the US Capitol.

Organized by artists and activists, it was commissioned by the Up In Arms campaign, an effort led by Ben Cohen, the cofounder of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream.

They aren’t bringing receipts, and they don’t give two shits about ours. It’s nice to want rules and regulations. But we’re not there. Right now we’re in a desperate fight. Democracy has already been undone. Due process is failing. People are being murdered in boats and disappeared off the streets.

I get it, but we’ve always been careful and that’s part of the reason we are in this mess. The game has changed. This isn’t business as usual. It is ALREADY burning down so my point is…don’t bring a knife to a gun fight, and save the purity tests for when we have control again, IF we have it again.

Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

They didn’t learn shit him. They learned it from their parents, and grandparents. Generations of fucking racist Nazis in a country founded on racism. THIS IS OUR HISTORY. Past AND present. Trump just makes them feel ok about saying it out loud again. But it’s always been there.

JUST IN: A federal judge in San Francisco has HALTED Trump’s plan to lay off thousands of federal workers during his shutdown, calling it “unlawful” and “politically motivated.” Judge Illston said Trump acted as if “the laws don’t apply to them anymore.”

The GOP that gave us the Jan 6 terrorist attack and then pardoned the terrorists is calling the No Kings rally a pro-terrorist rally. These are despicable people.

It's all about racism and power.

This corrupt right-wing Supreme Court will gut the Voting Rights Act. It's been a dream of Roberts for decades.

Let’s also not forget though that the republicans own the voting machines now. There are serious questions about what “the voters” actually decided in the last presidential election, too.

Supercut of comments from Republicans today alone about the No Kings rallies taking place this weekend. This has to be some of the worst, and most anti-American, coordinated messaging of all time.

Republicans are going to cheat & gerrymander with the rubber stamp of the Supreme Court.

It will be very hard for Democrats to take back the House and Senate.

Meanwhile, Trump will send the military to crush protests, and when he gets desperate, he'll implement martial law.

Eyes wide open, folks.

NEW: We, along with our partners at @ccrjustice.org, are demanding more information on President Trump's illegal drone strikes on civilian boats in the Caribbean.

Under international and domestic law, the President does not have the power to arbitrarily carry out assassinations.
