That’s an improvement from one of the last protests where people were circling the block, revving their loud truck engines to try and drown out protesters’ voices while giving protesters the finger.

Dadeville, Alabama. Over 100 people showed up in this very red, rural region of a very red state. At the first rally here, there were less than 20 people.

Per CNN, the White House has just issued a two-word response to what may be the largest day of protest in US history—and those two words perfectly encapsulate why No Kings Day exists.

The response from would-be King Donald to outrage over his destruction of our traditions and norms is, "Who cares?"

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

For what it’s worth, I live in a small town in a ruby red state in the South and we just elected a Democrat for mayor. This is huge here! The fight ain’t over! Sending you a hug.

It might not feel like it, but Trump is failing. The more pain he brings, the more the resistance strengthens. It's been said that it's always darkest before the dawn. It will get darker...and at this point, I hope it does...because the problem...is also the solution. You can feel it.

And I guaranfuckingtee you that unless this news is on the county sheriff's fucking Facebook page most of that 75 percent will assume the hospital closed because of "Obamacare."

A rural hospital in a Nebraska county that voted 75-25 for the GOP Senator in November closed due to the Republican Party's impending Medicaid cuts. This is a harbinger of a bleak future to come for rural communities. www.splinter.com/rural-hospit...

New, from me:
They are trying to shove through the massive reconciliation bill as quickly as possible.

Stepping back, the bill is:
*an assault on the poor to benefit the richest
*an assault on freedom
*an assault on the future

Our intelligence confirms this - we have intercepts of high level Iranian officials who are surprised that damage at the nuclear facilities wasn’t worse.

Trump is going to refuse to admit the truth, which increases the chances that Iran is able to reconstitute their program.

Meanwhile Republicans are trying to advance a bill that will destroy their party, jobs, and kill many Americans as we speak. Why? Tax cuts for billionaires.

It won’t be Barron deploying. He probably inherited his father’s bone spurs.

Rep. Jason Crow @crow.house.gov · Jun 24

I deployed three times to Iraq & Afghanistan.

I know the true costs of war.

I know what happens when unaccountable Washington elites pound their chest, saber rattle, and then send somebody else's kids to fight.

It's working class folks who pay the price.

And just like that, the ‘No New Wars’ people are all-in on a new war. Proving yet again that they really believe in nothing other than what one man tells them to believe today. Which could be different tomorrow. The very definition of a cult.
