What better day to mail my YES on 50 ballot here in California than No Kings day?

These are the ways we express our power: we vote, we peacefully protest, we organize. We add our voices to the collective push towards justice and freedom.

And if enough of us do these things, we win.

Murphy: We are not on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of an authoritarian takeover. But Trump has not won.

Nye: We are here to tell our lawmakers that what's going on in our government is
wrong. They must stop the abuses of this petulant president and his circle of sycophants. No thrones, no crowns, no king

Am I wrong? 😉

Hasan: The great irony is of course that Donald Trump is the son of an immigrant. The grandson of an immigrant and married to an immigrant. In fact two of his three wives were immigrants, proving yet again that immigrants will do the jobs that even Americans are not willing to do.

THIS IS WHY WE MARCH…

Authoritarianism doesn’t arrive overnight, it creeps in while we stay silent.

The window to use our voice is closing.

Trump told Zelensky in a tense meeting that he doesn't intend to provide long-range Tomahawk missiles, at least for now. Zelensky hoped to leave Washington with commitments around new weapons for Ukraine, but found Trump in a totally different state of mind a day after he held a call with Putin.

Trump rejects Zelensky on Tomahawk missiles in "tough" meeting

One source said the meeting "was not easy." Another simply said "it was bad."

Hasan: Let me say to every Republican and conservative watching. Aren't you the ones that said no more big government? No tyranny in America? If you believe that, what are you doing defending masked federal agents in unmarked cars bundling people off the streets

Hasan: The UK still has a king. King Charles III, but he has less gold in his palace then Donald Trump in the oval office right now. King Charles has more respect for democratic norms than the whiny manchild trying to send his troops into as many blue cities as he can.
