Only attend No Kings if y'all believe in one or more of the following:

Equality, democracy, freedom of speech, the Constitution, LGBTQ+ rights, voting rights, women's rights, due process, diversity, museums, books, objective truth, stopping measles and not going to war with Portland and whatnot.

And there you have it. These strikes are clearly not legal. Pete will push commanders aside until he finds one who won’t question these extrajudicial killings. #SOUTHCOM

Federal resources aren’t campaign tools. Secretary Kristi Noem's new TSA video crosses the line, violating the Hatch Act with blatant political messaging.

We’re urging California airports to stand firm against this unlawful federal pressure and refrain from airing the video.

One of my “progressive” opponents took thousands of dollars from a gas executive. Call me crazy, but so-called “progressives” shouldn’t be taking money from the fossil fuel industry.

That’s why I’m not taking any money from fossil fuel executives, and asking my opponents to make the same pledge.

When Trump said he likes to assault women by grabbing their genitals, we were told it's locker room talk.

Then they wrote their 900 page fascism plan & we were told it was fake news.

Now their 20-40 year olds have hard-ons for Hitler & we're being told kids will be kids.

Fuck the #GOP

Oh heck yes. Please clone this man into multitudes of women and men that are this good!

I honestly believe a bold progressive platform run nationally will work. We have certainly never tried it, in fact it is the only thing we have not tried.

Corp-dems are done. If we run them its game over IMO.

Nooo! Im glad you posted it. I read he was going on fox, so got to see some of it.

Story read like it was brand new in a way; and it made me think of Pete and how good at it he was, but Mamdani was better even.

Ooo Wow!

Something brand new!

A smart articulate messenger going on Faux and bringing solid sensible messages to the MAGA audience.

(Pauses listening to whisper in ear…)

Ah! Yes, Mayor Pete DID do this many times before on Faux, but that was *then* this is now!

What a bold new idea!

I'M TIRED OF "LIBERAL" BEING USED AS AN INSULT.
LIBERALISM GAVE YOU THE VOTE.
LIBERALISM GAVE YOU EQUALITY.
LIBERALISM GAVE YOU FREE SPEECH
LIBERALISM GAVE YOU YOUR INALIENABLE RIGHTS.
LIBERALISM IS THE ENEMY OF TYRANTS, AND I'LL BE FOREVER PROUD TO DEFEND IT.

Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

I’ve directed the U.S. House to withhold my pay during the shutdown.

If federal workers are missing paychecks because of Washington’s dysfunction, Members of Congress certainly shouldn’t be cashing theirs.

My bill with Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick would make that the rule, not the exception.

I find it absolutely insane that we live amongst people who will immediately believe every ridiculous claim that comes out of the mouth of a feudal king or a dictator, but then be completely skeptical about empirically proven, peer-reviewed facts that are shared by experts

Whoa‼️ Dems could lose 19 seats due to GOP gerrymandering.

CA, UT & MD can’t fight fire with fire alone. Other blue states must step up, and every Democrat needs to vote. Don’t sit out any election.

Push your governors and legislators to act. Tell friends and family to vote. Help them. #YesOnProp50

Here’s the thing. We still have the power (probably) to say that this image must not be what America is. We still have the power to say “fuck no, we refuse to allow this to be what the streets of America look like.” Attend a “No Kings” rally this Saturday. And then vote in 2026.
