Authoritarianism is a cancer. And it's growing, metastasizing. In America. Now.

YOU are the cure. Do your part and join us on Saturday.

Do it for your country. For the Constitution. For your freedoms.

Never forget.

All Republican politicians think it's their duty to lie, despite the oath they make to the Constitution.

Maybe that is also a lie, for most GOP politicians. They prove every single day, that they think nothing of lying to the American people. Over and over again.

Trump's ICE are absolutely his Gestapo-styled, Secret Police THUGS, who trample American's rights, every second of every hour of ever day, etc.
They should not exist in a free country.
We are under Trump's boot.

This Saturday we need MILLIONS in the streets to show the regime and everyone else that we are building a mass MOVEMENT to end Trump's authoritarianism. Text everyone you know and invite them to join you in this mass expression of grassroots DEMOCRACY. #NoKings

Patrick Reinsborough ❌👑 @giantwhispers.bsky.social · 15d

The President is a delusional racist oligarch who defies the Constitution & openly talks about using the military to invade American cities.

Mass resistance is our only solution.

It's time for millions of us to return to the streets & teach Trump Civics 101: #NoKings Find your local action below👇

No Kings

As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

Dear national media: Instead of using photos of LBJ signing the Voting Rights Act, use this one of its bi-partisan reauthorization. It does more to show how far we’ve regressed in a few short years.

So Trump’s little Johnson doesn’t think violence against women, by men, is serious?

Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

Frost: Trump knows that when they passed the big, ugly bill that rips away healthcare from 17 million people, you usually don’t win elections when you do something like that…

So instead of undoing that, he’s pressuring states to give him more seats.

What California is doing is responding to that

That is 3 weeks more that 700k Arizonans have gone without representation in the House because Speaker Mike Johnson won’t swear her in. Stop delaying and do your job.
