“Trump is deeply unpopular. He’s failing on multiple fronts. His presidency is a disaster. The economy is is on the skids. The tariffs are a catastrophe. He’s admitting, and his own agencies—the Labor Department is admitting—that his mass deportations are screwing the economy in various ways.”

If Republicans are going to label you a terrorist for peacefully protesting Trump's failing presidency, abuses of power, and treatment of blue America as an enemy nation, let's turn out in even bigger numbers.

MAGA Rage at “No Kings” Boils Over—and It Quickly Backfires on Trump

As Trump allies smear the coming protests, a good writer on MAGA skewers the absurdity of these attacks on large swaths of Americans—and explains why our best recourse will be to turn out in force.

@stephaniemiller.bsky.social , I hope your house is holding up. We got pelted and blown away by the wind here in San Diego. Let the storm season begin, I guess.

Yup. I try to minimize my hypocrisy whenever and wherever I can. And Disney+ is a line I will not cross.

Ha ha!! The second I saw her run away, all I could think of was the Road Runner. All that was missing from her exit was the smoke ring.

It's disturbing to see Hispanics arresting other Hispanics, as if they consider themselves superior to those they are apprehending.

I believe that Trump, Mike Johnson and Greg Abbott should not have started this and continued with it in multiple states to rig the midterms. No Democrats want this, but we can’t unilaterally disarm in the face of multiple threats to fair representation nationwide.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."
