Noooooooo!!!!

yeah, the DC protest would have easily been another 100k if it weren’t for all for all of the remaining (still employed) Fed and Fed contractors being terrified for their jobs. I live in the DC metro and get it. But that is exactly why the rest needed to show up.

I was disappointed in the number of friends who are passionately fearful of what is happening but were too busy with kid sports to attend the protest.

Attending a protest yesterday was a great start - now let’s talk about what is next!

Our pro-democracy movement is surging. Now it’s up to each of us to channel this incredible energy into the organizing power it will take to win.

Join us on Tuesday for a mass call of movement leaders and activists to discuss what’s next: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even... #NoKings

Kids shouldn’t have to protest. But they were there in force at #NoKings #DC

Leaving DC now and it was hard to judge the size in the midst of it. How was turn out here?

Not one freaking bit. But I say that a white middle aged suburban mom bringing kids, so it’s easier for me to say that. I know the likelihood of violence against us is much lower which is why its our obligation to go.

“Trump is trying to destroy the rule of law, trying to destroy our democracy, trying to stop you from being able to speak freely. But he can’t win if we mobilize.”

For any of the depressed Philly fans out there tonight…

It’s seriously worth considering the possibility that Gritty is the reason they haven’t yet tried the military-ICE combo in Philly.

Kimmwa @mlynarskik.bsky.social · 11d

This provided a much needed laugh tonight. I dare them to come tomorrow. Gritty and Friends are NOT in the mood.

Kimmwa @mlynarskik.bsky.social · 11d

Particularly this week.

If ICE were as brave as they pretend to be, they’d head to Philly tomorrow.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

ICE is out of control. They must be reined in.

A post on X by Paris Schutz (@paschutz
), a CBS Chicago reporter, timestamped 23 hours ago, includes a photo of a car with a damaged hood and text overlay. The post reports that journalist Asal Rezaei was doing her job when an ICE agent shot directly at her car today, unprovoked, with chemicals entering through an open window, causing her to feel sick for two hours. It mentions no protester was in sight, and she was simply driving by to check the scene, about 50 feet from the entrance, an area local authorities and news organizations have been monitoring for weeks. The post also notes this incident follows the detention and release of journalist Steve Held the previous day.

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Canceled. If you call, you get the opportunity to give a lengthy reason why. In addition Kimmel, I let them
know they were were shits for not speaking up against FL’s anti-vax policy.

Please get out.

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · Sep 18

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.

It’s looking like the white Christian nationalist version of the East Coast - West Coast rap war.

Just way less cool and talented.

maybe it 's the whole east coast / west coast music war .

And well oiled propaganda to amplify the divisive messages.

Angry @angrystaffer.bsky.social · Sep 11

The real issue isn’t left vs right.

It’s not white vs black.

It’s not citizen vs immigrant.

It’s not gay vs straight.

The real issue is that a lot of powerful people have a vested interest — and a lot of money invested — in dividing us, and it’s working.

Kimmwa @mlynarskik.bsky.social · Sep 2

He’s right.

Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1.bsky.social · Sep 1

JB Pritzker to CBS on Trump deploying troops:

"He'd like to stop the elections in 2026 or, frankly, take control of those elections. He'll just claim that there's some problem with an election, and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control if, in fact, he's allowed to do this."

Kimmwa @mlynarskik.bsky.social · Sep 2

That was creepy but he’s always creepy. The comments were turned off - I assume they always do that?
