It's that moral purity that contributed to Trump winning in 2016 and 2024. Remember the Bernie or Busters who wanted to burn the system down?

Immigration Agents Have Held More Than 170 Americans Against Their Will, ProPublica Finds — ProPublica

www.propublica.org/article/immi...

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.

The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

“We found over 35 cases in which the judges have specifically said what the government is providing…false information. It might be intentionally false information, including false sworn declarations time and again," says Ryan Goodman, law professor at New York University.

Thanks! I call days like today my victorian lady abed days. Luckily my cats love the extra snuggles. We're watching horror movies.

There's apparently this device called Visible, which supposedly helps people with long covid pace themselves. None of my friends with covid have tried it though.

Never ask if you’re alone in your outrage.

You’re not.

I mean don’t get me wrong I’m feeling it tonight as my legs were weak this morning and any other day I’d say fuck it and stay home. But this was worth the struggle.

I’ve been disabled and chronically ill since infancy so my pain tolerance is insanely high. I also funnel all of my rage into determination.

Having said that, the rally was only two hours long and I was able to sit the entire time.

Unfortunately my camera had some difficulty focusing on the speakers, but you can still hear their message and the crowd cheering. I'll upload more later. Unfortunately I was in a lot of pain today so I didn't get that many pics or video. #nokings #nokingsday #nokingssussexcounty

Leader of the Southern Delaware chapter of Indivisible addresses the NO Kings rally crowd

A protestor dressed in an inflatable pink axolotl costume stands next to a tie dye wearing protestor sporting an american flag headband both listening to a performer at the Georgetown DE No Kings rally. The axolotl is carrying a sign that reads, "Democracy dies in silence."

I’ve seen a lot of people advising sitting down. As a mobility impaired person who attends rallies and sign waves do NOT do this. It makes it much harder for people like me to quickly move to safety.

We were instructed at my
local no kings not go to the ground to prevent trampling. Stay calm and move away.

The Department of Justice just requested an emergency stay from the Supreme Court allowing Trump to deploy National Guard troops in Chicago, something lower courts have blocked as unlawful and unjustified. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

The events around Chicago exhibit many of the same features as these historical precedents—violent and forceful opposition to the lawful authority of the federal
government in its enforcement of particular federal laws. Like the district court, the
court of appeals largely ignored that evidence. The court of appeals recognized that
“incidents of unlawful activity or even violence” have occurred and that Illinois has
been the site of “violent actions [by] demonstrators in protest of the federal government’s immigration policies and actions,” but it sought to dismiss the violence as “isolated” or merely “occasional[].” App., infra, 99a. The record does not bear out those
characterizations. See pp. 8-11, supra

It's absurd that in a modern city, our buses crawl at less than 5 mph.

We'll make them fast and free.

I urge our nation to use this weekend's No Kings marches as a declaration of independence against the tyranny and lawlessness currently running this country.

Use your voice. ACT PEACEFULLY. Protect yourself and your community.

THERE ARE NO KINGS IN THE UNITED STATES.

bethany beach- email sent at 9:49 am about a new location unknown if it’s ADA compliant

Bunni Spiegelman @mllelapin.bsky.social · 4d

@angartde24.bsky.social

From an email I received earlier today regarding the signwave location:

No Kings Sign-Wave, was updated by the organizer.

New location is: X

ADA accessible: Unknown

So I say again, if you want inclusivity and involvement, act like it. You've had weeks to plan this.

Bunni Spiegelman @mllelapin.bsky.social · 4d

After this? You want the support of disabled people, then you need to make inclusion a priority. I'm tired of having to struggle because we're an afterthought including groups who claim to be about inclusivity community.

Bunni Spiegelman @mllelapin.bsky.social · 4d

This doesn’t address my complaint in the least and your reaponse certainly doesn’t seem at all concerned with inclusivity. If you want everyone to show up, make sure it’s a venue where everyone can show up!!!!
