A stable, functioning democracy is often unassuming, boring even. Easy to take for granted.

But this - millions coming together in a shared public space to insist on their rights as democratic citizens - is a mighty reminder that a proper democracy is something quite incredible and inspiring.

Sorry to be corny but the aerial shots of these crowds are almost indescribably moving and hopeful

Don't engage. Just block. They want to push their rage bait on here. Don't give them the satisfaction.

To all who are attending a No Kings rally tomorrow,

Trump and figures in his administration are attempting to smear the rallies as hateful and violent. We know that’s not true, so don’t take the bait. Keep it calm. Keep it safe. Keep it joyful.

See you out there!

This is why the costumes are honestly brilliant. Ngo, who has never said a truthful thing in his entire life (remember the concrete milkshake?) now has to convince people inflatable Sesame Street and animal costumes are violent terrorists.

Sometimes you just need an image too silly to demonize.

Dolly Parton’s sister, Freida Parton, is asking for people to pray for her sister’s health.

Verified Facebook post by Freida Parton. The caption reads:

“Last night, I was up all night praying for my sister, Dolly. Many of you know she hasn’t been feeling her best lately. I truly believe in the power of prayer, and I have been lead to ask all of the world that loves her to be prayer warriors and pray with me. She’s strong, she’s loved, and with all the prayers being lifted for her, I know in my heart she’s going to be just fine. Godspeed, my sissy Dolly. We all love you! ❤️”

Below the caption is a photo of Dolly Parton standing outdoors in front of lush green ivy, hands clasped in prayer, wearing a shiny silver outfit with lace-trimmed sleeves, her signature blonde hair styled in soft curls, looking upward serenely.

Congress has not voted since September 19th, and Speaker Johnson cancelled votes AGAIN.

And let me tell you why.

He doesn’t want to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva — because she would be the final vote needed on the discharge petition to release the Epstein files.

This is a great thread about how this administration thrives on content.

Will Stancil @whstancil.bsky.social · 17d

The skeleton key to unlock the Trump administration is to understand that everything it does is for the sake of posting. It wants to get likes and shares. And it is specifically captured by a neo-Nazi, fascist audience that wants images of torture, violence, and murder, especially of minorities.

Bad Bunny is American. He’s also wrestled in 3 WWE pay-per-view matches, appeared in an Adam Sandler movie, and dated a Kardashian. Culturally, he’s like the most American guy we’ve got.
