#NoKingsDay

October 18: No Kings Day 👑✊ Because I want my 4 pillars back—rule of law, inclusion, diversity, and that old-school promise of America. Funny how demanding democracy feels rebellious now. #NoKingsDay #RestoreThePillars #Resist #SnarkTok

When Republicans are pre-butting a pro-democracy rally like No Kings and making shit up left and right to scare people, you know they're losing and in panic mode.

Pedal to the floor.

I have a neighbor that tuned out of 2024 because of anxiety and did not vote. We’ve been talking and she was out on PCH with me last Saturday and now has a Yes on 50 sign in her yard! One by one! 🙌

Do you live in California or know someone who does? Trump rigged Texas & red states with corrupt gerrymanders to lock in MAGA rule. CA fights back with Prop 50. Get everyone you know to vote & volunteer (cadem.org/prop50 Early voting starts soon 11-4 is our chance to finish this fight.

Sounds like he’s doing a pep talk for when he orders our troops on the citizens of this country that don’t get in line with their king. This guy is unhinged and looking for a war.

Trump says he’s authorized Hegseth to use “Full Force” against Antifa in “War ravaged” Portland

At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists. I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

On October 18, we rise! Not to defend broken systems, but to defend each other! Because our communities deserve more than fear, silence, and billion-dollar bailouts for the powerful.

No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings.

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel

Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.
