Ezra Levin’s message here is perfect.

Despite all their best efforts at scaring us, it’s clear the goon squad regime are the ones who are scared.

Let’s make it the biggest demonstration in American history.

Tell them no f*cking kings.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

No, Speaker Johnson: The No Kings Rally on October 18 is not a “hate America” rally. Quite the contrary. It’s a rally of millions of people who believe in American freedom and are not going to allow you and President Trump to turn us into an authoritarian country.

The S&P 500 slumped more than 2 percent for the first time in six months, rattling investors after a long stretch of gains.

What's the worst that could happen? 🙄

Reposting this for those who may not understand what Democrats are trying to push back against when it comes to Republicans shutting down the government and why Dems are fighting for Americans.

R’s are blaming D’s while they cut ACA tax credits and gut more federal agencies—has always been the plan

It's not just $930 billion being cut from Medicaid that will harm people

A 🧵

There's another healthcare nightmare in Trump's murderous budget bill -
The House GOP budget reconciliation bill does not extend the "enhanced" premium tax credits that were put in place by the American Rescue Plan

Trump told AG Pam Bondi to prosecute Letitia James-calling her “guilty as hell”

When the US Attorney wouldn’t do it, he replaced that lawyer with his personal attorney

And despite the fact that career prosecutors refused go forward

The DOJ got an indictment anyway

Trump is trying to deploy the National Guard to Oregon, claiming that the state is a battlefield and troops are needed to protect federal agents who are attempting to enforce immigration laws

Meanwhile, at the ICE facility in Portland, it’s

Sorry, is there a question here?

27 children died.

Close the goddam camps if you can’t comply with safety measures.

This isn’t the first time flash flooding in this zone has killed campers, just the most well known with the highest death toll.

Texas youth camps say cost of implementing new safety requirements will force them to close

During a Friday state hearing, parents of July 4 flood victims said camps should prioritize the safety even if costs are high.

Tonight’s #FridayLimericks watch the GOP’s ongoing assault on Americans’ health.
We have shutdown stakes coming more clear:
Whose insurance will soon disappear?
Repubs want to shift wealth,
At expense of our health,
To the donors their ilk hold most dear.

"We just verified with the Congressional Budget Office and of the 13.7 MILLION Americans who will lose their health care because of the Republicans' tax-cuts-for-billionaires bill, exactly ZERO are undocumented immigrants!"

History will lump Trump, Miller, Noem, Bondi, Homan, etc along with all the other miserable people who tortured others for their sadistic pleasure.

If you don’t speak out against them, you’re forever tied to them.
