Edging closer to just outright killing their own people.

EVERY AMERICAN should be in the streets on Saturday to show these cowards that we are not giving up our democracy to line their pockets and feed their egos.

They are running out of time and they know it.

She's not wrong!

This is the goal and this is been the mission all along of the Republican Party. If you think otherwise you definitely have blinders on.

WAKE UP
UNITE 10/18
PROVE THEM WRONG

There are more Democrats than Republicans. Let's prove it! On 10/18 💯

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

I was speaking to a lady who arrived last night to the shelter and she told me she had been calling DV shelters for a year! I told her that I have been calling for 8 months! You need to understand that USA has a shelter crisis. Homelessness has increased 18% since 2023.

Not reposting the nonsense from the right about how Saturday's march is ANTI-AMERICAN! SOROS-FUNDED!

What they're saying is so nonsensical that it reeks of desperation.

They're scared of a simple display of mass opposition.

Bring your American flags, folks.
It's a pro-America, pro-democracy march

If Scott Bessent and his oligarch friends are so interested in helping Argentina and not their own country, why don’t they just move there. I’m sick of Republicans destroying our country to make Oligarchs richer.

US is working on doubling aid to Argentina to $40 billion by tapping private funding sources

The Trump administration is looking to provide an additional $20 billion in financing for Argentina.

Data reviewed by OPB show the DOJ's assertion that Portland's ICE building was out of commission for three weeks this summer is inaccurate.

Portland’s ICE building closed for 22 days this summer, but immigration arrests and detentions hardly slowed

Justice Department attorneys argue the facility was “inoperable.” Some public functions were halted. Bookings were not.

An overview of the grossness this admin is currently doing, no matter how they try to dress it up:
-Endorsing racism & misogyny
-rolling back civil rights

But, also a good update:
Solidarity in resistance is the way, & more ppl & orgs are stepping up.

Are you participating in a nokings.org rally on Saturday, 10/18? Here are some helpful tips to get your messages across in safe, peaceful, and joyous ways.

NO KINGS
Top 10 Rally Reminders
Lead with Love, Not Anger.
Focus your energy on what you stand for, not what you stand against. Anger fades;
compassion lasts.
Look Out for One Another.
Offer water, a smile, or friendly chat to someone nearby. Check on families, elders, and people with mobility needs.
Smile and Greet Others.
Say hello, wave, or share a word of encouragement. Small acts of friendliness build community trust and lower tension.
Celebrate Families and Kids.
Keep the atmosphere family-friendly, and invite children to join in with chants and songs-joyful ways to express civic pride.
Lift Your Voice with Positivity.
Joy is contagious. The more you smile, sing, and stay grounded, the safer and stronger everyone around you feels.
Keep It Clean and Respectful.
Leave our rally space as beautiful as you found it-or better. Treat it with respect, care, and gratitude for peace.
Make Your Sign Speak Peace.
Choose messages that uplift-creative, clever, values-based signs draw attention without aggression or profanity.
Be Mindful of Words & Tone.
Speak with kindness, even when disagreeing. Avoid insults, sarcasm, or chants that demean others.
Model Nonviolence in Every Action.
If confronted, breathe, stay calm, and step back. Do not engage or argue, alert a Guardian in an orange vest.
Carry Joy Beyond the Rally.
After the event, share stories, photos, and reflections that highlight unity and courage-show the world what peaceful power looks like.
