Organizers now say that over 600 people joined the protest in Lindstrom.
In my little town of Lindstrom, MN (pop 5000) over 400 people turned up for the No Kings demonstration. I got to talk to lots of wonderful patriots!

Rep Robert Garcia just dropped a bombshell 🔥

The House Oversight Committee is forming a joint investigative unit with the Senate to track and expose every single act of ICE misconduct.
Accountability is coming.
No more hiding behind badges. No more abuse without consequence.

the symbolism of “Trump destroying the White House for a overpriced luxury vanity project, during a government shut down, days after a historically-large mass demonstration against his regime called “No Kings”’ would be rightly viewed as laying it on a little thick if it was in a work of fiction

as far as just messaging goes that video is probably the most embarrassing thing any president has done on the world stage in my life

and the fact that the sunday shows wont even describe it? total abdication of their responsibility

if the president does something so awful it would be indecent to describe and ask about then you very obviously need to describe and ask about it, thats the entire job

This is an ongoing thread I will be updating to post examples of violent rhetoric from prominent Republicans and media personalities. It's going to include a lot of material, so please send examples.

Donald Trump uses the most violent speech, but he's far from alone.

The longer the govt is shut down the more people get their renewals, and the more people who aren't already convinced will realize that the Republicans are lying that it's about Healthcare for undocumented immigrants.

Also this bill is impossible
Just receieved this today from Florida Blue. This is for a Bronze plan. Our monthly premiums are going from $333 (2025) to $2300 in 2026.

it's cool that you can get a position at the New York Times and not know how the budget reconciliation process post-Kennedy death worked
The ACA was gutted by Democrats. you can argue those key democrats could've been siding with what many see as the more liberal/patient centered options. or you could say it was unfortunate that Dems didnt have 60+ more liberal senators.

but it was Democrats.
Ok, but maybe you need to re-work that a bit. Also, you could also acknowledge that the original ACA was gutted by Republicans before it was finally passed, which is partly why it has been a problem for some.

New Yorkers know that wantonly destroying landmarks is part of Trump's basic MO.
Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

NYT economics reporter writing about healthcare and ACA is completely ignorant about the law and its history. Prime example of how broken the paper is #UnsubscribeNYT #CancelNYT

"No, we don't want a monarchy, we want a theocracy" is a not the flex they think it is.
Chip Roy: "The truth is the marxist, radicals, and Islamists the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a king and that king is Jesus. And the president has been willing to say it, & Charlie Kirk was willing to say it & he got killed for it."

When a major news outlet like the New York Times timidly states that Trump's video depiction of shit showed "brown liquid," it's more likely to describe Trump's overthrow of democracy as a "reform process."
The New York Times twists itself in knots pretending it doesn’t know things that it absolutely knows. Such as referring to the shit in Trump’s AI video as “brown liquid.” 9/

We recently launched an update of our Gun Violence Atlas that includes several new features. Users can now view trends for specific types of gun violence — like mass shootings and domestic violence — and aggregate data on a monthly, quarterly, or yearly basis, among other things.
Where Are People Being Shot in America?
The Trace’s Atlas of American Gun Violence has been updated to allow you to search by address, county, congressional district, type of shooting — and to download maps.

What is “satirical” about shitting on the American public, Mike? What “point” is that proving? Why do you have the moral fiber of a weasel on meth, Mike?
Q: What does it say that president released a video of him pooping on the American people?

MIKE JOHNSON: You can argue he's probably the most effective person who has ever used social media. He's using satire to make a point. He's not calling for the murder of his political opponents.

The entire "free speech on campus" moral panic was manufactured to blackmail us into making space in intellectual life for bigots and charlatans who couldn't get there on their own merits. Its a DEI scheme for fascism. Congratulations to everyone who took it at face value.
“Following his lecture, Yarvin will debate the legendary British historian David Starkey on history and the future of conservatism.” Everything about this is so cursed. Masks off at the University of Oxford.

The networks took the much smaller Tea Party movement so seriously they broadcast a Tea Party rebuttal to Obama’s 2011 SOTU on top of the normal GOP one.
Reminder: We spent YEARS reading thousands and thousands of articles on the Tea Party and how it was a true expression of the American people's will, and it never mounted anything nearly as big as Saturday's No Kings rallies. [1/3]

Fifteen presidents have invoked the Insurrection Act.

Trump claims one president used it 28 times in the course of a single presidency.

The Insurrection Act has been used a total of 30 times over the course of its 217-year history.
Trump: "I'm allowed as you know as president, like 50% of the presidents have used the Insurrection Act. Everybody agrees you're allowed to use that and there is no more court cases, there is no more anything. We're trying to do it in a nicer manner, but we can always use the Insurrection Act."
