They'll cast these rallies as "angry" but everyone there is plainly having a great time because it's fun to get together with like-minded people to engage in the oldest American tradition: telling a tyrant to eat shit

MSNBC Grandmas in Skechers seamlessly reclaiming the frog from 4chan Nazis in about six weeks has gotta be the political upset of the century.

If you were out in the streets today, thanks. If you left feeling inspired, please seek out local ways that you can keep organizing with others.
Our local 🚫👑 rally was around the corner from Mass MoCA in North Adams.
🎶He sits alone on a giant throne
pretending he's the king

A little tyke who's rather like
a puppet on a string

And he throws an angry tantrum
if he cannot have his way🎶

In tonight’s hearing, Illston reiterated a question that raised eyebrows earlier in the week.

“Are you still unwilling to discuss the merits today?” Illston asked the DOJ lawyer.

“I’m not prepared to discuss the merits,” the lawyer, Elizabeth Hedges, replied.

I fear that the reality is that most Democratic governors and mayors are scared of their own police forces and don't want to risk ordering them to stand down.

But they have to step up and do it. Our democracy is absolutely at stake.
This is pretty dumb and for all the obvious reasons...

But every photo I see of this event has the Lincoln Memorial rotated to line up with the bridge and proposed arch, and not the National Mall.

Details just don't matter to these people.
Press pool: “On Trump’s desk in the Oval Office today was a plan for a triumphal arch on the other side of the river from the Lincoln Memorial”

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:
ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t.
Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.

there are a couple of ways to think about this, one is that no one should be running for their first senate race at this age, and the other is that if platner can’t beat her, he definitely can’t beat collins. i think he can. everybody needs to stop crying and start fighting.

How W. E. B. Du Bois responded to government policing of "anti-American" sentiment during the 1910s:

"I took great satisfaction in being able to sit back in my chair and answer blandly, 'We are seeking to have the Constitution of the United States thoroughly and completely enforced.' ”
