Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona’s 7th District on September 23rd, yet Speaker Johnson STILL refuses to swear her in.

He’s using the government shutdown to prevent a Member of Congress from doing her job and to stop the Epstein files from being released.

In light of how successful the "No Kings" protests were, here's further inspiration on why it's important to keep the momentum going. #NoKings #CivilResistance #WhyCivilResistanceWorks #HowToCounterAuthoritarianism #FightingFascism #FightingAuthoritarians #Protests #USProtests #Resist
Was Melania in it at the time?!

"Demolition crews have begun tearing down part of the White House...

"Construction teams Monday were demolishing a portion of the East Wing, with a backhoe ripping through the structure..."

A look at part of the crowd of tens of thousands out this afternoon for the “No Kings” protest in downtown Chicago

The No Kings March in Chicago is one of the largest gatherings I’ve seen here. Looking down from by the river, the crowd stretches for blocks down Michigan Ave and wraps around Wacker Dr. This video is from a few minutes ago and the end of the protest is nowhere in sight.

Turnout at the Evanston, IL (just outside Chicago) No Kings rally was 3x that of the first No Kings rally in June: It rose from 2,000 to about 6,000 protestors peacefully defending democracy. Here's a snippet of song from the protest, with thousands chiming in. #NoKings #Evanston
A priest who had been protesting at the Broadview Detention Center in Chicago, where immigrants are being held illegally & who was himself beaten, said at today's No Kings rally: "I smelled tear gas, & it smelled like Fascism!" #NoKings #Fascism #Broadview #Chicago #Immigrants #Protests

And then they came for the protestors.
Comedian and musician Robby Roadsteamer was detained by ICE in Portland earlier today, sparking outrage and alarm. Roadsteamer was grabbed as he sang a parody of Rod Steward's "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy" in front of an ICE Center in Portland before being grabbed by agents and carried into the facility.
