The GOP talking point…
Only “old” people showed up at No Kings!

Damn right we showed up!
We show up at the Ballot Box too!

Pat and I just got our medical insurance renewal. Our monthly rate is going from $763 to $2,323.

Our deductible went up too.

We knew it was going to be bad with the subsidies expiring, but holy hell ...

You know it’s bad when the Dept of Labor says immigration raids are “threatening the stability of domestic food production and prices for US consumers.”

Children are dying because Trump gutted USAID and cut lifesaving foreign aid — even though it took up less than 1% of the U.S. budget.

Meanwhile, he's preparing to dole out $40 billion to prop up Argentina's failing economy, all to help out his authoritarian pal.

Priorities.

No, bro — It’s not “cancel culture”, it’s consequence culture.

Stephen Smith isn’t being “canceled,” he’s being called out.

BREAKING: Live munitions from a Trump-Vance “military demo” flew over I-5 and struck a CHP vehicle. The White House wanted the highway open—but Gov. Newsom shut it down for safety. That decision likely prevented injuries or worse.

You may be living in an absolutely racist country when 13-year-old Black boys are tried and sentenced as adults, but white dudes who *are* adults are called "kids" by JD Vance to shield them from culpability.

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024.

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

They’ve had their necks kneeled on.

They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.
