I hear from informed sources that these #NoKings rallies are more than twice as big as last time, making them easily the largest protests in US history. Thanks to everyone and especially organizers.

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

We did it, New Mexico! Yesterday we made history as the first state in the nation to guarantee no-cost child care for every family. This is a game-changer for parents, kids, and communities across our state—and a blueprint for the nation.

Yesterday's Supreme Court decision endangers our communities and subjects people to immigration stops simply because of the color of their skin, occupation, or the language they speak.

This fight isn't over. Our right to live free from racial profiling is fundamental.

Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent." In red text, the quote is attributed to Justice Sonia Sotomayor, Dissenting in Noem v. Perdomo

"When did we become a country where it's okay for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything – especially something we don't want? Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation – that we treat this as normal?"

Jack White, with alt-text

Listen, I’m an artist and not a politician so I’m in no need to give my answer or opinion on anything if I’m not inspired or compelled, but how funny that it wasn’t me calling out trump’s blatant fascist manipulation of government, his gestapo ICE tactics, his racist remarks about Latinos, Native Americans, etc. his ridiculous “wall” construction, his attacks on the disabled, his attempted coup and mob insurrection and destruction of the sacred halls of congress, his disparaging sexist and pedophilic remarks about women, his obvious attempts at distraction about being a close personal friend of Jeffrey Epstein and his inclusion in the Epstein files, his ignorance of the dying children in Sudan, Gaza, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, his lack of empathy for military veterans and those struggling with poverty, his attempts to dismantle healthcare, his obvious wimpy and pathetic kowtowing to the dictators Putin and Kim Jong Un, his nazi like rallies, his attempts to sell merchandise and products like Goya beans through the office of the President, his fake “gunshot to the ear” that he showed no medical records or photographs of, his constant, constant, constant lying to the American people, etc. etc. etc. No, it wasn’t me calling out any of that, it was the fucking DECOR OF THE OVAL OFFICE remarks I made that got them to respond with insults. How petty and pathetic and thin skinned could this administration get? “Masquerading as a real artist”? Thank you for giving me my tombstone engraving! Well here’s my opinion, trump is masquerading as a human being.

He’s masquerading as a christian, as a leader, as a person with actual empathy. He’s been masquerading as a businessman for decades as nothing he’s involved in has prospered except by using other people’s money to find loophole after loophole and grift after grift. His staff of professional liar toadies like Steven Cheung and Karoline Leavitt have been covering up and masking his fascism as patriotism and fomenting hatred and division in this country on a daily basis. And I have “ample time on (my) hands”? That orange grifter has spent more tax payer money cheating at golf than helping ANYONE in the country. Improve. Anything. There is no progress with him, only smoke and mirrors and tax breaks for the ultra wealthy. So maga folk, enjoy your concrete paving over of the rose garden, your 200 million dollar ballroom in the White House, and your gaudy ass gold spray painted trinkets from Home Depot, cause he ain’t spending any money on helping YOU unless you fit into his white supremascist country club rich idiot agenda. Wow, he hates who you hate….good for you, be proud of yourselves, how christian of you all.

The only way you can support this conman is because you are a victim of the 2 party system and you “defend your guy no matter what he does”. No intelligent person can defend this low life fascist. This bankrupter of casinos. This failed seller of trump steaks, trump vodka, trump water, etc. This man and his goon squad have failed upwards for decades and have fleeced the American people over and over. This professional golf cheat, this grifter who has hundreds of thousands of deaths from his inaction of the pandemic on his hands, this man that the majority of the country somehow were fooled into supporting and voting into office (through the flawed electoral college) and their love of reality television stars. Being insulted by the actual White House that this particular conman leads is a badge of honor to me, because anyone who trump supports and likes is a…

And no I’m not a Democrat either, I’m a human being raised in Detroit, I’m an artist who’s owned his own businesses like his own upholstery shop and recording label since he was 21 years old who has enough street sense to know when a 3 card monte dealer is a cheap grifter and a thief.

Jack White III

Furthermore, White wrote in the caption:

I was raised to believe that we defeated fascism in World War II and that we would never allow it again in the world. I don’t always state publicly my political opinions, and like anyone I don’t always know all of the facts, but when it comes to this man and this administration I’m not going to be like one of the silent minority of 1930’s Germany. This man is a danger to not just America but the entire world and that’s not an exaggeration, he’s dismantling democracy and endangering the planet on a daily basis, and we. all. know. it. -JW III… “To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.” – Theodore Roosevelt

What blue state is stepping up next? Who’s gonna meet this moment with the urgency it deserves? Who wants to be able to tell their kids and grandkids that when everything was on the line, they didn’t just SAY the right things, but DID the right thing with the power they had?

Why are democrats waiting for Texas to gerrymander? Be bold. Go big. Go first. Play offense.

Or wait until Texas goes first and we don’t have enough time to get it done and only match them seat by seat so we don’t appear too aggressive.

One of these is the winning strategy.

Still can't get my mind around the fact that we live in a world where Trump (claims he) was angry at Epstein because he "stole" his employee – not even mentioning that she was trafficked, assaulted, and routinely raped.

Trump's distancing from these subjects speak to his consciousness of guilt.
