Gov. Josh Stein on the North Carolina Republican legislature redistricting: "They're trying to decide for the voters who their congressperson is. In this representative democracy, the people choose their representatives—it should not be the representatives choosing their people."

Those backing the ban on Maccabi Tel Aviv fans visiting Birmingham were smeared as antisemites.

Then Tel Aviv police banned the city's derby after riots.

This whole saga is defined by lies and smears.

Here's the truth 👇

Maccabi Tel Aviv hooligans: lies, smears - and the truth

Tel Aviv's police ban the city's derby after Maccabi hooligans rioted. You cannot make this sh*t up.

No Kings couldn't have gone better - massive turnout, no violence, and it drove Trump so crazy his response was "Kings are good and I poop on everyone." Best of all was the effect on the millions of participants and everyone watching.

My latest at Public Notice: www.publicnotice.co/p/no-kings-p...

No Kings was a huge success. Just look at Trump's response.

Turnout was enormous. There was no violence. And the wannabe king is triggered.

Sprouting from the ashes: SoCal’s native fire followers

Recovery from the recent fires will be a long road, but it’s comforting to remember the resiliency of our native plants.

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.

Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

Rand Paul: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024.

Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay.

The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year.

Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M

See the problem?

If you are confident that a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, you stop it and board it. That way, you have evidence.

If you don't really care if a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, but you just want to kill people, you blow the boat up. That way, the irrelevant evidence is gone.

The utterly disgusting, disrespectful, and disgraceful behavior of a wannabe kingtator who posts about shitting upon his own citizens and his own country. No other nation would accept such behavior from their “leader.”

We forged so many connections and laid so much groundwork today. Don't let No Kings 2 be the extent of your engagement with resistance work. Let it be the first step. We're here to support you. It's us, the American People, that get to save us from tyranny. The future of this nation belongs to us.

I want people to also keep in mind the millions of conversations that also happened today. Spreading even more action, plans, connections, and resources to get more awareness and activity in motion.
