HAPPY PRIDE ORLANDO!!! And shoutout to everyone who attended No Kings right before. Our biggest pride yet. We proudly believe in justice for the LGBTQ+ & Immigrant community. No to authoritarians scapegoating our people in order to consolidate power and make money. No ICE in the sunshine state 🙅🏾‍♂️

The three largest protests in American history all happened under Trump:

No Kings – October 18, 2025
No Kings – June 14, 2025
Women’s March – January 21, 2017

Now, more than ever, the Declaration of Independence is putting us to the test.

Initial estimate for No Kings Twin Cities at 100,000! So many Minnesotans SHOWED UP to protect our communities, our country and our democracy that the 1+ mile march route looped back and found thousands hadn’t even left the starting point! 👏❌👑

Just saw an extremely dumb post about how this is not what democracy
looks like because only 2% of the population turned out, it's what freedom of assembly looks like, and what the bleep do people even think democracy is? Freedom of assembly being part of democracy is elementary school civics.

It’s about the three Taylor’s. It’s the continuation of her entire discography. The invisible string.

Q: What's your message to the 170 US citizens who have been detained by ICE? About 20 of them are children

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know what you're talking about with the children. I haven't seen that so I'm not going to comment on it.

Jeffries: "You've got Leavitt, who's sick, she's out of control. I'm not sure if she's just demented, ignorant, a stone cold liar, or all of the above. But the notion that an official WH spokesperson would say that the D Party consists of 'terrorists, violent criminals & undocumented immigrants'..."

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring.

Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

Unbearably violent images from Downtown Chicago where a classical music concert was played on the Chicago River. This is too elegant and magical to be seen.

The james indictment is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever read.

Take a moment to read it.

It’s so stupid. And short.

The whole obsession Trnmp has over the peace prize is that Obama won it in 2009.

That's it. He refuses to be denied a prize that the black president won.
