somewhere in portland, there's one person, or a small handful of people, who came up with the inflatable costume idea, and I feel like they deserve our immense respect for defining the obvious developing aesthetic of the contemporary battle against fascism

The first protester I noticed as I approached the No Kings rally Saturday was dressed as a giant yellow duck. All around, demonstrators were converging on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC—one...

There sure were a lot of American flags at the “hate America rally”

"I'm trying to protect democracy in this country."

There was an incredible turnout across small-town USA! Many events weren’t even on our radar. Our coalition initially tracked around 3,000 events, but the number has now surged past 4,000 and counting.

Organizers have reported 7 million attendees at the No Kings events and we’re happy to confirm 7 million and counting! More events are still happening across the country today, so we’ll need additional time to fully certify the final numbers.

👀 someone calling out big law firm complicity and cowardice

Sign reading BIG LAW LITTLE BALLS, and then listing a bunch of lil ball'd firms:

A&O Shearman
Cadwalder, Wickersham
Kirkland & Ellis
Latham & Watkins
Milbank
Paul, Weiss
Simpson Thatcher
Skadden, Arpa
Willkie Farr

Then the sign ends with a Trump quote that should make these firms put their heads in the proverbial bag:

"They gave me a lot of money considering they did nothing wrong"

Double checking there were no violent insurrections, beating up of cops, pro-Nazi shirts, and smearing of shit in state Capitols today across the country during the massive NO KINGS protests, right?

Because that's what Trump supporters did on January 6th to overthrow a free and fair election.

Pritzker: Throughout history we've learned that tyranny doesn't arrive with dramatic proclamations. Most times it comes quietly wrapped in the language of law and order, with fingers pointed at someone who doesn't look like you, promising safety while demanding that we sacrifice our neighbors.

I think today has been a massive success by the organizers and it needs no defending on the merits and any leftists who would seek to downplay it have demonstrated once again how they're completely useless by choice in this moment.

Facts:

President Calvin Coolidge was sworn into office by his own father, John Calvin Coolidge Sr.

President Lyndon Johnson was sworn into office by U.S. District Judge Sarah T. Hughes.

Mike Johnson's refusal to swear-in Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva is felonious! Swear her in! Now!

Authoritarianism doesn’t arrive overnight, it creeps in while we stay silent.

The window to use our voice is closing.
