The largest human protest OF ALL TIME, around the world, Peacefully, was The Women's March, on the day after Trump was inaugurated in 2016. I am a woman who participated, and will again. I also went to Washington DC protest Brett Kavanaugh.

Unbearably violent images from Downtown Chicago where a classical music concert was played on the Chicago River. This is too elegant and magical to be seen.

Good afternoon with good news: Full-electric vehicle (BEV) sales skyrocketed 32% in Germany during September.

PHEV surged 85%.

EV share was 31.1%, with BEVs at 19.3%.

Germany is world's 5th largest auto market.

Petrostates have electric problems!

The stakes are high & the time is now! Next Saturday join millions of Americans in 1000s of communities across the country.

The 47 regimes militarized crackdown on dissent is a threat to our very democracy. Be brave, speak out!

Oct 18 we stand against autocracy & we send a LOUD message: #NoKings

Is there any precedence in the history of the United States for having a foreign airbase on American soil?

I know Mike Johnson says there is nothing for the House to do but there is.

You see by law a budget was supposed to be in place by Sept 30th, but Rs haven’t passed one. The reason? There isn’t a GOP budget. They haven’t even started working on one. This is what the House should be doing FFS!

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress over two weeks ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in.

Why the delay?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

We now know that any time he wanted Donald Trump could have rung Benjamin Netanyahu and ordered him to stop the destruction of Gaza. He chose not to. Imposing a peace at the barrel of a gun after laying waste does not deserve a Nobel prize.

Those returning say they are driven by desperation rather than confidence that it is safe.

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

This is not a border crossing.
There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

EL PASO — a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified.

“Illinois governor says we’re provoking actions that are unlawful,” Miller said on CNN. “If I put federal law enforcement and National Guard into a nice sleepy Southern town, is anyone gonna riot?”
