After I posted about the No Kings event in Paris, some folks got upset with me. So I made this to express how sorry I am.

Banksy Balloon Girl homage, but instead of a heart balloon she's releasing the head of a draft-dodging felon fascist.

…or horrified by the blatant capitulation of mainstream media, law firms, corporations & academic institutions

…or simply fed up with the constant gaslighting, the daily assault on rule of law, the revision of our values & history

This is your fight.

See you at #NoKings this Saturday.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

House Democrats needle the GOP over Jan. 6 with replica plaques

Congress commissioned an official commemorative plaque in 2022, but Speaker Mike Johnson hasn't hung it.

Funny isn't it. Trump sat for over three hours enjoying the riot he incited and never once sent in the national guard. In fact he had to be pressured to call off his brownshirts.

Damn. Nancy ain't having it. 👀

REPORTER: “Why did you refuse the National Guard on January 6th?”

NANCY PELOSI: "SHUT UP! I did not refuse the National Guard. Why are you here with Republican talking points, as if you're a serious journalist."

Listen to this nurse: when families can’t afford food or rent, doubling their health premiums will push them off insurance. Communities will suffer. People will die.

And what did Republicans do?
They shut down the government and took a vacation. #TrumpsShutdownDragsOn

Why are they doing everything possible to protect pedophiles?

It’s time for Speaker Johnson to quit stalling & swear in Democrat Adelita Grijalva to secure the final vote on releasing the Epstein files.

Call Your Reps & Demand She’s Sworn In Now!

And the craziest part is this was needless. Congress would've passed a military pay bill with near unanimous support! Congressional Ds have been begging Rs to bring a bill to pay the military to the floor! But Johnson refuses to gavel in because he doesn't want an Epstein vote.

New Jersey can’t risk a governor who’s vowed to bring the MAGA agenda to New Jersey, defund Planned Parenthood, and supports an abortion ban.

I'll protect abortion rights and ensure the strongest possible protections for providers in our state.

Trump wants to DOUBLE Argentina's bailout to $40 billion to save his political ally.

Yet he is doing nothing to prevent 15 million Americans from losing their health care and 20 million from seeing a doubling in their premiums.

Is this what Trump means by America first?

The most powerful force in American politics today is anti-establishment rage at a system that’s rigged against most people.

Democrats should ignore the carping of corporate-backed Wall Street Democrats and embrace Zohran Mamdani and other young progressives as the future of the party.
