No Kings Minnetonka-Southwest Metro · No Kings

**In America, we don’t put up with would-be kings.** Our peaceful movement is only getting bigger and stronger. “No kings” is more than just a slogan—it’s the foundation our nation was built upon. Born in the streets, carried by millions in chants and on posters, this principle echoes from city blocks to rural town squares, uniting people across this country to fight dictatorship together. Donald Trump thinks his rule is absolute. But in America, we don’t have kings, and we won’t back down against chaos, corruption, and cruelty. Stand up for the United States of America and join us. 📍 Where: Minnetonka, Minnesota, at the same location as No Kings Day 14 June 2025 (which is the same location as the May Day protest in Minnetonka and the Minnetonka Wednesday Weekly Protest each week and Good Trouble Lives on in Minnetonka and Families First in Minnetonka and Minnetonka #WorkersOverBillionaires Labor Day) 📅 When: 12:00 noon to 2:00pm Saturday 18 October 2025 ℹ️ What: Neighbors will get together with other neighbors on public land near road margins in a friendly demonstration of support for freedom, democracy, and rule of law with our homemade signs. Some signs will be available to borrow or to keep. **A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.** All local protests organized by Indivisible MN03 are peaceful, legal, nonviolent, family-friendly exercises of first amendment rights in public places.

I know Mike Johnson says there is nothing for the House to do but there is.

You see by law a budget was supposed to be in place by Sept 30th, but Rs haven’t passed one. The reason? There isn’t a GOP budget. They haven’t even started working on one. This is what the House should be doing FFS!

I've been wondering why Dominion Voting Systems suddenly reached settlements with Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and One America News.

Turns out, it's been purchased by a Republican-owned election tech firm that insisted on it, per Axios.

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law.

Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois.

And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.

JB Pritzker has also been emphatically placing Trump's mental decline squarely on the agenda. On our pod, he adds a new element: People around Trump are using his decline to manipulate him, so they're less likely to intervene. More Dems should say this. 1/

Have you seen the constant "Emmer Do Better" protests by @indivisiblenmetro.bsky.social? Emmer is a terrible representative who works to score points with his party by spreading lies and dissing his constituents. He's with the untethered to reality crowd.

“Thousands of US-bound packages shipped by UPS are trapped at hubs across the country, unable to clear the maze of new customs requirements imposed by Trump.
As packages flagged for customs issues pile up in UPS warehouses, the company told NBC News it has begun “disposing of” some shipments.”😱

UPS is 'disposing of' U.S.-bound packages over customs paperwork problems

Shifting Trump tariffs have created a nightmare for UPS, as thousands of packages from overseas pile up at its hubs while they await customs clearance.

#TrumpIsFailing
Trump's failure is compounded by cowardice of GOP Reps and Senators. With Trump crashing in polls, they worry, worry, worry -- about themselves, not the budget.

Simon Rosenberg @simonwdc.bsky.social · 2d

Mike Johnson, one of the great cowards in American history, has cancelled votes again.

A reminder that by law a budget was supposed to have been passed and in place on September 30. There is no Republican budget; no process to create one; and Johnson is preventing Congress from working on one.

Together we are going to build a world where everyone will have the freedom to thrive — no exceptions.

Two puppet characters, Bert and Ernie, sit on a beach with their backs to the camera, one with their arm around the other. They’re gazing at the ocean together. Overlaid text reads:
“we will always have
more in common with each other
than with the billionaires
stealing from us all”

A lone black-and-white cow stands in shallow ocean water, looking out toward the waves. Overlaid text reads:

to thrive.”

Today, the Supreme Court will hear arguments in Chiles v. Salazar, a landmark case on conversion therapy. The case centers on a challenge to Colorado’s law that bans therapists from promising young people they can change their sexual orientation or gender identity if they just “try hard enough.”

FACT: Every major medical and mental health association in the country condemns conversion therapy and supports efforts to protect youth from the practice.

Our statement on the anniversary of October 7 and the ongoing genocide in Gaza: indivisible.org/statements/i...

WE MOURN ALL VICTIMS OF VIOLENCE, AND DEMAND JUSTICE AND PEACE.

Today, on the second anniversary of the horrific attacks of October 7th, we grieve for the victims and for all who lost loved ones. We continue to call for the immediate release of all remaining hostages. Violence against civilians is not and can never be justified.

Two years later, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's far-right government has weaponized that tragedy to carry out a campaign of collective punishment -a genocide -against the people of Gaza. The ongoing siege of Gaza City has trapped civilians in rubble and dire hunger. Roads have been blocked, hospitals destroyed, and food and medicine restricted to a trickle. This is not defense. It is annihilation.

The deliberate destruction of Gaza is a moral catastrophe - one happening on our dime. The United States continues to supply weapons and political cover to Netanyahu's government. That complicity must end.

We refuse the false choice between condemning an horrific attack and condemning genocide. We can - and must - do both. True justice means no double standards. It recognizes the equal value of every life. It is a commitment to protecting every civilian, rejecting collective punishment, and demanding accountability for every crime committed.

On this anniversary, we remember every innocent life lost - Israeli and Palestinian alike. We mourn all victims of violence, and demand justice and peace. Real safety will never come from mass killing or collective punishment. It comes from equality, accountability, and humanity.
