The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.

Did you tear-up today when you were out protesting because you felt the camaraderie and fellowship with so many like-minded and caring people?

I did.

Did you tear-up today when you were protesting because you're still processing the fact that we're rapidly tumbling toward authoritarianism?

I did.

This iconic photo…

On the night he made history, Obama reached for his mother-in-law’s hand.

Michelle later wrote in Becoming that her mom felt his loneliness that night. His father gone since he was 2, his mother and grandmother both passed. Marian said she could feel the “gravity of the passage”

Pritzker: Throughout history we've learned that tyranny doesn't arrive with dramatic proclamations. Most times it comes quietly wrapped in the language of law and order, with fingers pointed at someone who doesn't look like you, promising safety while demanding that we sacrifice our neighbors.

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.

BREAKING: This is in Trump's back yard. Washington DC No Kings Day Protest. This is just the start of the day.

It is absolutely unbelievable how many people are turning out for this. I love how everyone is staying peaceful. It's exactly what Trump doesn't want.
