Two things:

1) this is really bad and Johnson should be hounded incessantly about this

2) this does seem a little like a “dry run” for shenanigans later, but as of January 3, 2027, there is an entirely new house, so it’s not automatically Johnson’s call to refuse to swear anyone in then

Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)

“While the cause we bring is more radical than the event the organizers are broadcasting, it’s crucial for us to be there…We stand internationally with our comrades in the International Workers Association as we deal with this global authoritarian movement.”

No Kings! No Capitalism! No State!

From Philly Metro Workers Solidarity Alliance This Saturday we will travel with our co-workers to No Kings protests, some to City Hall, some to Harrisburg, and some to DC. As WSA, of course…

This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton.

I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.

#NoKings is tomorrow.

Show up.
Be brave.
Help with other attendees.
Witness everything.

The media will drop the ball.
The regime and its thugs will try to incite violence.

Do not give an inch.
We stand for democracy, equality, and justice.
We defy the fascist regime.

See you out there.

Friends, I know so many of you are planning to attend a "No Kings" protest this Saturday, and you'll be bringing with you amazing protest signs.

Why not recognize the creativity on display?

I'm pleased to announce the Oct. 18th "No Kings" Protest Sign Contest... with cash prizes.

This seems...bad. Knowing the regime, they're going to use this to lie about anyone trying to record interactions, exercise their 1st agreement rights, etc. Not that it's not happening already, but they're absolutely going to use this too.

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV is set to effectively disband Opus Dei in the coming weeks.

This would be the most sweeping internal reform of his pontificate — and a dramatic continuation of Pope Francis’s legacy.

NEW: Pope Leo Set To Break Up Opus Dei

If Pope Leo does indeed approves a plan that effectively dissolves Opus Dei’s structure, it would be the most significant internal action of his short pontificate to date.

I really hope people who joined the police believing they were serve the communities (however many or few there are) start coming around, and do it really soon.

If anyone's wondering how this is possible, the answer is these strike teams are moving terrifyingly fast. Grab first, ask questions later. We were about 8-15 minutes behind them today for several hours. They're jumping out of vans, chasing people across lawns, taking them from bus stops, etc
