The No Kings protests were fantastic

But we have to keep going

Because Trump’s fascism will never stop-as evidenced by the fact that his ICE thugs tear gassed protesters in Portland last night-and we can’t let him win

Stay engaged, my friends

We have a country to save

“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.

Kristi Noem gets two new private jets.
$172 Million Dollars from OUR pockets!
For what?! Something horrible, I’m sure.
The greed is grotesque. 🤨

I know something about aircraft pricing, and when you "need" to get updated avionics, safety equipment etc.

This is grotesquely wasteful, unnecessary, and self-aggrandizing.

No Kings. Also, no cosplay Marie Antoinettes.

This is a profoundly absurd show of force that could put Californians directly in harm's way.

Flying live rounds over a busy highway without coordination between state, federal, and local partners isn't just wrong — it's dangerous.

This is a blatant attempt to silence and isolate us. He’s stopping the trains, closing the freeways and firing live rounds into California. We will not be intimidated. We will not be silenced. #NoKings

Popok: Why did they choose No Kings Day for a “routine training exercise” in a state where his leading political critic is the governor?

Bonta: They’re doing what they always do—trying to intimidate. It would be humiliating for the president—and shameful and embarrassing if he were capable of shame

The hard data of Trump's public life is so staggering that corporate media hardly even feels comfortable publishing it anymore. Two impeachments, 32 felony convictions, 67 allegations of sexual misconduct, numberless findings of civil fraud, one adjudicated rape, one daughter he wants to sleep with.

I know Donald Trump is a pathological liar, malignant narcissistic sociopath, racist, antisemite, misogynist, xenophobe, homophobe, transphobe, hater of our troops and believer in euthanizing folks with disabilities, but we too often forget that he's *also* an adjudicated rapist and convicted felon.
