I went to war to defend our nation.

Now a wannabe dictator is trying to tear it apart—defying court orders, censoring the press, intimidating peaceful protestors and misusing our troops.

Speak up. Speak out. Stay peaceful. Be safe.

No kings.

#NoKings > While we're just getting up, the first No Kings solidarity events "No Tyrants" have already taken place outside the US and are currently taking place... like here in Melbourne, Australia!

Happy #NoKingsDay ... Be creative, be peaceful but don't be quiet

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.

White words on a black background read:

50+
Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino.

~130
Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers.

~20
Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

We need 3.5% of the population in the streets on Saturday. If you can't join, take some other nonviolent action - donate, pray, put a sign in your window, call Congress. I truly believe this is our last best chance to save our democracy.

In 2013, I joined @americancancersoc.bsky.social's 30-year CPS-3 study on cancer prevention. 12 years down, 18 to go - I'm hoping to reach 65 cancer-free. 💜

Today I gave 5 more vials for research that could save lives.
