Feeling helpless? Here are 4 things you can do:

1️⃣Vote in Nov 4 local elections. Early voting is now

2️⃣Call elected and tell them to hold the line. Negotiate a win with ACA subsidies

3️⃣Bookmark www.nokings.org/next for wkly calls to action. Build the muscle of collective action

4️⃣Spread the the word

What's Next? — No Kings

The fight doesn’t end here. No Kings was a beginning — a reminder that power belongs to the people, not to those who would rule over us. The work now is to stay ready, stay connected, and keep fightin...

This is sick. Several of the MS13 gang members Trump traded to Bukele so he could have access to CECOT prison for deportees were actually COOPERATORS with law enforcement. He betrayed them. wapo.st/4nbNiM4

Rubio promised to betray U.S. informants to get Trump’s El Salvador prison deal

To secure U.S. access to President Nayib Bukele’s notorious CECOT prison, Rubio agreed to turn over several MS-13 leaders central to a long-running Justice Department investigation.

This week, we reported that immigration agents have grabbed 170+ Americans

The administration tried to smear it as "fake news."

Speaker Johnson tried to toss it off too

Here's the thing: Like @propublica.org
all stories, this one is built on RECEIPTS

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.

This is a joke, right? A parody account?

We have an authoritarian prosecuting his political enemies, destroying the rule of law, subverting Congress, wrecking the economy, and, inter alia, deploying troops and masked secret police to majority-opposition party cities.

FOCUS ON HEALTHCARE?????

Hakeem Jeffries @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social · 27d

The Trump administration’s threat to deploy troops in Portland is unlawful.

Here’s a thought.

Focus on protecting the healthcare of the American people.

I hope they tank. How about a new, net-based network free of restrictions on free speech? We can have Kimmel and Colbert there along with anyone else that refuses to cave to this nonsense. Advertisers can go where the eyeballs are.

Dana Carvey parodied George HW Bush on SNL — “Nah, wouldn’t be prudent” — the President called him up and they became friends. .

Daryl Hammond imitated Clinton through his Presidency, including savage stuff during his sex scandal. Clinton invited him to do a “dueling Presidents” gag.

President Johnson, in a November 9, 1968 letter to the Smothers Brothers:

“It is part of the price of leadership of this great and free nation to be the target of clever satirists . . . May we never grow so somber or self-important that we fail to appreciate the humor in our lives.”

YES. Trump's desire to send in troops is not simply his hope to distract from his troubles. It is his long-held desire for military, authoritarian rule -- backed by MAGA/Project 2025.

Democracy Docket @democracydocket.com · Aug 28

Trump escalated his war on Democratic-led cities by threatening to send military forces into Chicago.

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker said the move is about Trump “searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy… and end elections.”

As of today, import taxes (aka tariffs) have hit their highest level since the Great Depression. Americans are now expected to pay an average of 18.3% more for imported products. Remember when Trump ran on lowering costs?
