Sanders: Saturday, millions of people are going to come out on a No Kings day. Speaker Johnson said this is a hate America rally because people are coming out expressing their concerns.. It’s not a hate America rally, it's a love America rally.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

The “enemy from within” is Trump. The “violent extremists” are Trump lackeys who have turned ICE into fascistic shock troops. In response to Trump’s brutal, racist, and unconstitutional campaign of terror the country must mobilize collectively.

The “president” is not just unhinged & unwell. He is also a colossal vindictive asshole and a completely incompetent moron.

Excellent summary
Let’s spell this out. Trump fired a qualified U.S. attorney who refused to do his bidding and installed his own personal lawyer to punish a perceived opponent. Justice needs to follow the law, not politics.
This is an attack on the rule of law. Full stop.

It’s true. 👇🏽 Buckle up n get ready to fight. Revolution is the only answer.
It’s heartening to hear many principled voices argue that those in office should wield political power in a way that they would be happy to have it wielded when they’re not in power. But it’s worth saying this clearly: the current administration is not acting as if it intends to be out of power.

Why, when one posts a post about peacefully reading on one’s deck with one’s cat, does said cat decide to immediately go get sprayed in the face by passing Mr. Skonk? 🦨🔥🐈⬛

Because everything is so awful these days even though the days are beautiful, I’m trying to take an hour a day to read outside. It is very nice to be joined by one’s feline companion as the sun sets on so many things. Thanks to Village Square Booksellers for THE GHOST LAB

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

As many of you know, Capybaras have been my spirit animal since 1980. That said, I went to my small-town pharmacy in Vermont today and got both my flu and Covid booster vaccines no problem. They said they’d been busy all day with folks who ‘believe in science.’ Rock on.
