It fits the bill.

A tweet from Joel Montfort reads: “Current situation.” Below it is an edited image of a twenty-dollar bill where the White House on the bill appears to be under demolition, with an excavator tearing into the building.

There is a lot to be angry about right now, but I feel like I’m hitting a tipping point in my rage with what that man is doing to OUR White House.
RIP East Wing.

Williamsburg VA has a well documented history protesting kings and we were back at it today. Inspiring turnout today with an equally positive reception from passerbys. #nokingsday

Gabby Giffords is an inspiration. Still traveling, still advocating for a safer future. Her strength and courage set a high bar for the rest of us. #momsdemandaction #gun-sense

Impressive how one political party can control the White House, the House, the Senate, and the Supreme Court, but not bear responsibility for whether the federal government functions. Neat trick.

My son has autism. It’s genetic. He inherited it. This Tylenol crap is just another attempt to mother shame, which goes back to “refrigerator moms” in the 50s when people blamed mothers’ “coldness” for autism. People need to do better. #autism #tylenol

Look, I can’t tell you how you’re supposed to feel about things, okay? That’s the government’s job.

You can't support fascism and claim to follow Christ's teachings. It's one or the other. They are entirely incompatible.

What, exactly, are we celebrating tomorrow?

Our cutting off healthcare to the needy to enrich the greedy?

Our new concentration camps?

Our dying economy?

Our ditching due process?

Our corruption?

Our broken legislature?

Our corrupt SCOTUS?

Our ridiculous buffoon president? #FourthOfJuly

This bill is devastating and people will die. And somehow, Fox News and the GOP will convince people their suffering is the Democrats fault.

Chris Murphy @chrismurphyct.bsky.social · Jul 1

Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie.

One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears.

They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.

The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III and Britain.

Donald Trump has committed at least 16 of those same offenses.

#NoKings

Screenshot of a list of the 27 specific grievances against King George III in the Declaration of Independence. Donald Trump's regime has committed at least 16 of them in whole or in part, highlighted in yellow and listed below:
"1. He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
2. He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
3. He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither [Partial]
4. He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
5. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
6. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
7. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
8. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
9. For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
10. For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
11. For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
12. For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
13. [Partial], abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
14. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
15. [Partial], and destroyed the lives of our people.
16. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us [Partial]"

No Kings Day 6/14 Richmond. Unlike other “leaders” worried about getting their “hair” wet, in DC, 50501 Virginia will be loudly saying No Kings,
-rain or shine-
Be a part of history tomorrow.
It’s a first amendment right.
