We’re just days away from #NoKings Day and the world is about to roar.

Over 2,500 protests in all 50 states.

One message: we will not kneel to wannabe kings.

October 18 will be the largest day of peaceful defiance in American history, because when tyranny rises, courage catches fire.

Vance obviously figured out in 2022 that his only path to the Senate was to go full MAGA and lean hard into the dickishness of the movement for the new persona he created. But deciding that there is no limit to how far you will go in your awfulness is certainly a choice.

I’ve been evicted from the Pentagon, a building I’ve covered for 18 years, Nancy A. Youssef writes. I’ll keep doing my job anyway.

It's DEF Con 1 For American Democracy: All Hands on Deck!

Trump is declaring war against Americans, striking Venezuela, musing about the Insurrection Act, and unleashing ICE to terrorize Americans. The white nationalist regime is gunning for total power.

As Republicans attempt to whitewash history, it's the librarians who are defending the truth.

Director Kim Snyder’s new documentary “The Librarians” is incredible. We talk about the film & why targeting the truth-tellers is just the tip of the authoritarian iceberg.

Through legislation, investments, and partnerships, California salutes the 160,000 active duty service members and nearly 1.5 million veterans who call the Golden State home.

We're committed to honoring their dedication and selflessness every day by giving back.

BREAKING: Journalists exited the Pentagon after refusing to agree to the Trump administration's new restrictions on access.

Journalists turn in access badges, exit Pentagon rather than agree to new reporting rules

Journalists at the Pentagon turned in access badges and cleaned out their workspaces on Wednesday, the price for refusing to agree to new restrictions on their jobs being removal from being at the seat of U.S. military power.

Now I wonder if TIME wanted Trump viewed from this angle on purpose. Deborah who is professional film maker takes note of this photograph that shows absolutely no scar tissue visible on Trump’s ear where he claims to have been shot. More evidence this was an outright lie!

Zero chance this works for Trump

The U.S. Attorney’s office in Virginia barely had enough evidence to bring an indictment against James Comey. Now, they don’t want to turn over the little they have. According to Raw Story, Comey’s lawyer Patrick Fitzgerald filed an opposition to their motion for protective order. In its motion, the U.S. Attorney seeks to keep evidence…

Sadly, the children must have learned this by being abused themselves.
