Old strange introvert creative
Be kind but take no shit
Love builds a better world
Hope for the best and do the work
But plan and prepare for the worst
We live in interesting times
Gather, share, care, be the good trouble

Tomorrow is going to be big, loud, boisterous, and joyful. There will be more people, in more places, bringing more signs and songs and joyful defiance than anything we’ve ever done before. We need you with us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

At least 14 people who’ve written books critical of Donald Trump have been threatened, investigated, or prosecuted by him.

This is just a coincidence, right?

Surely it has nothing to do with our criticisms.

A revealingly creepy formulation by Speaker Johnson.

What does he mean by “they” are going to “descend” on “our” capital?

WE are going to assemble in OUR communities exercising OUR constitutional rights in defense of OUR nation.
Johnson: “They're going to descend on our capital for their much-anticipated so-called ‘No Kings’ rally. We refer to it by its more accurate description: 'The Hate America' rally. I'm not sure how anybody can refute that."

Trump and his cronies have spread desperate lies about No Kings Day — calling peaceful participants "terrorists" and "criminals."

You know why? Because they want us to shut up and go away. That's how kings and dictators win. But we won't let them.

See you tomorrow. NO KINGS.
Forget Trump's lies. This is what No Kings Day is actually about.

“If you come to any of our protests, it’s a bunch of old grandmas and grandpas and dogs.”

They’re teachers, nurses, Mennonites, and Marines. The Trump administration calls them antifa.

The No King protests represent a broad popular front. That's exactly why the president's allies are demonizing the organizers.

ICE is investing billions of taxpayer dollars in technology to surveil anyone Donald Trump deems an enemy. I will do everything in my power to protect Americans from whatever abuses the administration will inevitably use against its own citizens to suppress free speech.

Iris scanners, facial recognition apps, phone-hacking software and cellphone location data are among the agency’s recent technological purchases.

Dear @wyden.senate.gov
Please investigate these accounts for
1. Violation of the government shutdown, obviously not providing posts vital to preservation of life and property
2. Violation of the hatch act

The Trump EPA account is pretty obviously spewing false propaganda about Democrats.

Our federal tax dollars are being used to fund a network of government social media accounts that pump out disinformation 24/7. Even during a government shutdown. It’s definitely not essential work.

The 8 most terrifying words in the English language are “I’m a billionaire, and I’m here to help.”
We should all be yelling at our state officials about the complete insanity of posting vital emergency information *exclusively* on Twitter/X and/or Facebook in 2025.

There is absolutely NO good excuse for this.

Many, many people don’t use those platforms. Many never did.
Here's one I got it WA not too long ago

The link directed me to a "make an account" page on twitter.

Again, this is a liquidation of the union in all but letter of the law. This is reverse secessionism engineered by a central government.
NEW: White House announces it's going to pause, and potentially cancel, $11 billion in infrastructure funding (via the Army Corps of Engineers), specifically citing cities, like New York, represented or led by Democrats. More to come.
