No, you only rented your souls out. They are still yours.

You COULD quit and get real jobs.

@cnn.com I heard some new nicknames for Trump. Epstein's Enigma, Mama's Delicate Delinquent, The Contemptuous Crook, and the crowd favorite is, The King of Stink.

It's been great to see the private universities say "no" to the Trump compact (MIT, USC, Penn, Brown) but it's even better to see the public universities say no 🎁🔗

I get your e-mail newsletter & buy your green coffee beans several times a year. Why don't you post your goodies here on Bluesky.

I roasted some beans from Guatemala this morning, & just now I thought to look for you here. I tell all of my friends at Daily Kos about you.

Organizers estimate that there were 5 million people at the earlier #NoKings rallies. This time we expect double that, more than 3% of the US population.

Republican politicians are scared to death of protestors and voters, and are futilely lying in all directions about us all.

Y'all come!

Tomorrow's "No Kings" protests are, in part, protesting the shameless, dangerous lies the regime and its sycophants are telling on TV about the "No Kings" protesters themselves.

Disreputable, dishonest, authoritarian regimes slander peaceful citizens who oppose them.

On Thursday, Judge Sarah Ellis ordered that the guy in charge of ICE Chicago, Russell Hott, show up for a hearing on Monday bc ICE is violating so many parts of an order she issued last week.

On Friday, DHS decided Hott was no longer overseeing Chicago.

Very unusually, *Georgia* will hold statewide races this fall—a pair of elections for the 5-member Public Service Commission, which regulates utilities. The panel is all-GOP right now, but Republicans are worried about losing, reports @bluestein.bsky.social at the @ajc.com.

Republicans are leaning hard into the red-meat playbook to defend two little-known Public Service Commission members they fear could lose next month.
