Only one thing could top the honor of speaking at the No Kings rally, and that's the honor of speaking at No Kings 2. See you October 18th!

🚨🚨🚨A 15 year old opens the door to the vehicle, but ICE monsters proceed to throw her around like a rag doll — because they can. Notice the police drive away, just out of view of the camera. Uploaded ~ 2 hours ago. 1/2

Memo to Future Historians: This Is Fascism, and Millions of Us See It

From Chicago to Portland, James Comey to Letitia James, and so much else—this is no longer America.

Illinois law requires all registered vehicles to display front and back license plates, without exception. But to evade accountability, masked federal immigration agents are driving around in unmarked cars without plates.

Federal immigration officers wear masks, no name tags — now some drive cars without license plates
The Sun-Times has documented four unmarked cars carrying federal officers without required plates, offering another way to shield their identities. Federal officials say they’re meeting regulations.

Halligan is a deeply unqualified pawn whose only mission is to head these obviously politicized legal attacks on people Trump doesn’t like. She had literally never prosecuted anyone before Comey. trib.al/oxatOSZ

Lindsey Halligan is out of her depth, but she’s carrying out Trump’s revenge crusade anyway.

The No Kings protests have been some of the most peaceful and well attended political assemblies in American history. In fact, MAGA has mocked them as a bunch of boomer grandmothers. Now they are apparently terrorists. bsky.app/profile/atru...

The simple truth is that Trump is a criminal. Now he and his accomplices are back in power, and they’re using that power to smear the honest agents and prosecutors who investigated them. www.thebulwark.com/p/bondi-host...

The attorney general came to the Hill to deliver a message to Democrats: Your ‘oversight’ couldn't matter to us less.

ICYMI: Speaker Mike Johnson is second in line to the presidency, but he wants you to know he has no opinion on anything and takes responsibility for nothing. His go-to line is “not in my lane.”

Apart from helping Comey's selective prosecution defense, this also means the president of the United States uses direct messages on Truth Social to communicate with cabinet officials.

I didn't know that, but we can be sure intelligence agencies all over the planet already did.

Country fans are upset with Zach Bryan after he criticized ICE in a song.

But don't let it be known that Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Johnny Cash all despised fascism and leaned heavily to the left.

In May 2022, Sasha lost her leg in a russian attack near Odesa, but she never gave up on her dream to return to gymnastics. 6 months later, she mastered her prosthetic leg, and now competes again.
This weekend, Sasha won both gold and bronze at the Black Sea Cup💙💛
