They'll cast these rallies as "angry" but everyone there is plainly having a great time because it's fun to get together with like-minded people to engage in the oldest American tradition: telling a tyrant to eat shit

Whoever came up with the idea of mocking this gratuitously cruel regime with cute, nonthreatening plastic frogs really hit a gold mine. The clever imagery has made it all the way across the Atlantic.

This is a blatant attempt to silence and isolate us. He’s stopping the trains, closing the freeways and firing live rounds into California. We will not be intimidated. We will not be silenced. #NoKings

If you're anti-"antifa", you are "fa". You know what that means?

First of all, putin isn't "red", he's a faschist oligarch. Second of all, he bombed cities and killed innocent civilians, right after turning his own country into shithole. I mean, it wasn't great before, yeah, but he turned his population into brainwashed serfs.

Looks like the Russians like his Russia tie. It’s not red-white-blue either. It’s red-blue-white. Like the Russian flag. For a meeting with Zelensky.

Welcome to No Kings Eve. Trump is sounding and behaving kingly, and Republicans are at DEFCON 1 on the desperation meter. You can tell by their hallucinatory talking points, which are untethered from both reality and the Constitution. New from me at @msnbc.com:

Opinion | Republicans' attacks on 'No Kings' protests reek of desperation

The GOP’s fictional portrait is part of a strategy to stop the resistance before it flexes its growing power

Trump's federal agents shot Marimar Martinez, a US citizen, multiple times for allegedly menacing them with her car in Chicago. Only hours later, Kristi Noem and DHS started spreading disinformation about the shooting.

Now the official line is crumbling. 1/

Trump’s Secret Police Shot a Citizen. Then Damning New Info Emerged.

As the official Trump administration line about the shooting of a Chicago woman crumbles, Senator Chris Murphy is asking pointed questions about what really happened here. Will we ever get answers?

NEW: Trump’s DHS appointees have:
• Dismantled civil rights guardrails,
• Protected agents’ anonymity and encouraged them to wear masks,
• Threatened groups that stood in their way, and overwhelmed legal challenges to their arrests & tactics.

Prosecuting enemies.

Releasing allies.

Profiting off of the Oval Office.

Extrajudicial killings.

Illegal acts.

Ignoring the Constitution.

Detaining Americans without cause.

Sending the military into American cities.

Whoever came up with the slogan #NoKings was a f*cking prophet.

Fight back!

What happens when the military is inevitably handed illegal orders?
Who’s going to stand up?
Will they have the courage?

This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton.

I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.

COMING TO A CITY NEAR YOU
📢

This President is openly broadcasting that he plans to violate the Posse Comitatus Act.

TRUMP: The militarization we’ve seen so far is just “the start.”

“We’re going to go into other cities that we’re not talking about purposely. We’re getting ready to go in.”

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring.

Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.
