Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) at the Boston No Kings rally today, wore the trans pride flag like a scarf draped over his shoulders and included in his speech. "Because here in Massachusetts, we stand for what is right. We stand with trans people because trans rights are human rights."

Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!

I'm sure many of you have heard by now that earlier this week, IU k*lled the print edition of its student paper, the IDS. The issue that was supposed to print this week contained criticism of the Whitten regime and IUs further slide into scist control, and they couldn't allow that to happen during Homecoming, when all the rich alumni are in town.
Enter Purdue! The Purdue student paper, The Exponent, owns its own presses. Yesterday, in an act of tremendous solidarity with their biggest rival school, they printed the forbidden issue of the IDS. They then drove it to Bloomington overnight and stocked all of the IDS boxes on campus, just in time for Homecoming.
Solidarity is what makes us stronger, and solidarity will be what ultimately allows us to triumph, if we can ever truly get it together. I hope everyone has a fun, safe day if they're going out today, and I hope we can think about what acts of solidarity we can begin taking to really make this movement MOVE - beyond a permitted expression of upset into more active resistance.

Every state with a Democratic legislature and Democratic governor could do this right now — they wouldn’t even need to do a ballot initiative. They could do it RIGHT NOW — so please pass it on and spread the word 👇

This is the best political news I’ve seen in a very long time — so please pass it on👇

Each state can limit Citizens United in their own state & they don’t have to wait for other states to do it.

No Kings is reporting that 7,000,000 Americans turned out to rally against Trump today.

That's over THREE TIMES the number of votes Donald Trump claims to have gotten over Kamala Harris.

Rather than prosecute the two survivors of a deadly US strike on suspected drug runners in the Caribbean Sea Trump said he will repatriate them.

This is literally a confession that Trump murdered innocent people and has no evidence to prosecute the two survivors.

Hasan: The great irony is of course that Donald Trump is the son of an immigrant. The grandson of an immigrant and married to an immigrant. In fact two of his three wives were immigrants, proving yet again that immigrants will do the jobs that even Americans are not willing to do.
