Authoritarianism is a cancer. And it's growing, metastasizing. In America. Now.

YOU are the cure. Do your part and join us on Saturday.

Do it for your country. For the Constitution. For your freedoms.

While you still can.

"Authoritarianism, it's a cancer. The symptoms are here, today... We thought it couldn't happen here... and now the disease is growing, metastasizing in America. But there is a cure—it requires you. On October 18, Americans will stand up, peacefully, for what makes America, America." nokings.org

"Girls are asking to be seen not only for the challenges they face, but for who they are and the solutions they bring."

This International Day of the Girl, 'Doing Nothing Is Not an Acceptable Choice'

On Oct. 11, we celebrate International Day of the Girl, a global call to recognize girls’ rights and confront persistent inequality. When hope wavers and progress stalls, I look for words that steady...

Johnson’s Hate America Protest happened: January 6, 2021. It became the training ground for Trump’s ICE gestapo, who were turned in by family & friends. Now they wear masks so they can attack w/o detection. No one hates America more than Trump, Miller, Bessent, Bannon, and their army of masked men.

Gov. JB Pritzker on ABC: "He certainly has the power of the presidency. He does not have the power to overcome the Constitution. And so am I afraid? I am not afraid. Do I think that he could do it? He might. But as I've said before, come and get me I mean. You're dead wrong, Mr. President."

Hawaii Supreme Court Justice Todd Eddins called out the U.S. Supreme Court for “pretend law and pretend facts.” Integrity from the bench still exists. ⚖️🔥

How about this F*CK YOU; you bigoted, cops who misshandled this postal worker. He died after police mistook his stroke for drug impairment. This man would still be alive today if these lazy a**es simply did their job.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

CBP agents knocked on an El Paso home at 7:15 a.m.

The owner asked to secure his Rottweiler, Chop, in the bathroom.

While he got his ID, agents opened the door and shot Chop.

The family tried to save him as he bled out on the kitchen floor.

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.

Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

I’m horrified to hear that two people were kidnapped by ICE in Evanston this morning.

There’s a protest at Home Depot shortly. We’ll be delivering water and supplies to protesters — I hope you’ll join us in standing with our community.

The American Antifa Flag - long may she fly as a symbol of the blood, sweat, and lives sacrificed by our grandparents & great-grandparents who fought along with the rest of the world’s Antifas to stop the murderous rise of fascism that authoritarians sought to impose on its freedom-loving citizens.
