ICE is now the 13th largest military in the world on its own.

Whatever you think of the White House as a building or a symbol, the fact is that the image of it being torn apart on a whim two days after 7 million people hit the streets against autocracy is going to make a HUGE amount of people really, really angry, and that's an energy that should be harnessed.

ANY ARRESTS? Among the millions upon millions of "violent leftist radicals" that took to the streets today I cannot find word of a single arrest. Even when everything is peaceful there is usually an overzealous cop or something. This is unheard of. We need to beat the media over the head with it.

This is a blatant attempt to silence and isolate us. He’s stopping the trains, closing the freeways and firing live rounds into California. We will not be intimidated. We will not be silenced. #NoKings

When you equate opposing Trump with hating America, you're kinda making the whole point of the No Kings rally.

No Kings

As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

This is truly grotesque. Teachers should not be using this stuff. If a school was pushing it on teachers who work with kids I care about, I'd make a big effing stink until they stopped. We have to not give into this.

It’s a "crisis" when immigrants "take jobs away", but "innovation" when machines do. Funny.

“Cycling in the buff is a Portland specialty, and one organization has announced a naked ride ‘in response to the militarization of our city,’” our columnist @nickkristof.bsky.social writes. “Such is the war zone here.”

Opinion | Troops Could Help Portland if They Rented Office Space

Trump’s dispatch of National Guard troops to Portland is another dangerous step toward politicizing America’s military forces.

When a president sends troops into American cities to “restore order,” what he’s really doing is testing obedience. Portland and Chicago aren’t war zones…they’re warning shots. Authoritarians don’t announce takeovers. They practice them. One city at a time. However, each practice destroys families.
