I know folks have been litigating the value of these protests all week, and I would remind those who have been eyerolling that one VERY important part of mass dissent is making it impossible to round up all the dissenters.

They see the crowds and have to reevaluate gulag plans

You know the mass protests work because Team Trump has been freaking out about them

Time is up. I gave Speaker Mike Johnson two days to swear in Adelita Grijalva. Arizona's 7th congressional district 813,000 Arizonans are now being taxed without representation. I have lawyers downstairs right now drafting litigation.

It's estimated that there will be tens of thousands attendees at the No Kings Protest on Saturday around Southern California, and it's important to protect your community by reviewing your rights and being prepared in case violence breaks out.

What Governor Pritzker is doing is right for his state, but it is vital for the Republic.

10 days until the biggest peaceful protests in modern American history. A No Kings Day event is likely happening near you wherever you are. Please join us to show we won’t cower in response to Trump’s authoritarian takeover: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

After a federal court blocked his attempt to federalize the Oregon National Guard, Donald Trump is deploying 300 California National Guard personnel into Oregon. They are on their way there now.

We are taking this fight back to court.

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell

JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too

D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals?

J: I didn't see it

D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

It’s decision time.

If we are going to fund the government, it should only be a government that respects our democracy, that isn’t corrupt, that doesn’t treat people and places that oppose President Trump as enemies, deserving of indictment or military deployment.

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

Sickening behavior by this agent. The fact that Mayor Adams has rolled out the red carpet for ICE is a stain on our city.

Brad Lander @bradlander.bsky.social · 25d

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Kimmel’s defiant return highlights one of the most disturbing dynamics of Trump II, that so many people in positions of leadership are chickenshit frauds who would rather fold in advance than put up anything resembling a fight www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
