Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

If you have Dem Senators, urge them to "Hold the Line." Healthcare is devastated until the Big Butt Ugly Bill. This article presents many other compelling arguments for not enabling this dictator's destruction of our government.

If you see ICE in your community in Arizona, don't panic. Take a photo or video from a safe distance, then call the Migra Watch rapid response hotline to report it.

Praise of the Week: @azsecretary.bsky.social! When the DOJ overreaches with unlawful requests for voter data, Fontes answers with a confident "No." Protecting Arizona privacy is non-negotiable. Thank you for holding the line, Adrian Fontes!

Lindsey Halligan is now asking a grand jury in ED VA to indict the New York attorney general on mortgage fraud claims. The decision comes after Halligan was told by her professional staff that no basis for such indictments existed. This information will be withheld from the grand jury.

MAGA wants us afraid and divided, but we’re not backing down. Let’s make October 18 the biggest day of peaceful protest in American history: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

Micah on Bluesky: “they are clearly trying to terrify everyone out of showing up to the No Kings protest and I simply do not think it is going to work

see you all there”

Ron Filipkowski on Bluesky: “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.”

Jon Favreau on Twitter: “A top Republican in Congress just called millions of Americans terrorists.

The last No Kings protests saw 4-6 million people turn out. They were peaceful. They were joyful. There were American flags everywhere.

Those of us who will be participating next weekend in what Emmer calls a "hate rally" for "terrorists" love our country - particularly its promise that we're all created equal, that we all have the right to speak freely, to enjoy equal protection under the law, to believe what we want, and to choose our leaders without fear of reprisal.

The No Kings protests are happening because Emmer and Trump and his regime are trampling on those rights and freedoms.”

Leah Greenberg on Bluesky: “"After a few moments of laughter, the No Kings Coalition issued the following statement"”

Kinda wild we live in a country now where the president just tells obvious lies directly to a camera and the reporters in the room don’t just walk out in disgust or simply say “no, that is not happening”

So, I understand that little maga dweeb, Steven Miller, said Indivisible is just a bunch of old grandmas! Well, I AM a grandma, Boomer & Activist. That white tee shirt kid would be me. So, you little pendejo, Watch Out for the Grandmas. Not our first rodeo - thank us for the WOKE😍-still fighting.

The fact that this coming 9 days before the largest peaceful protest in modern American history is absolutely intentional. We will not back down. Trump and Miller can lie, smear, and threaten all they want. They will lose. No Kings, No Kings, No Kings. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Hey Trump. I am Indivisible and they non-violent to the core and FUNDED by GrassRoots people like me! They are rigorous in following all the requirements of their Tax Exempt status, election reporting, etc. etc. etc. So, know yourself out and turn people against you.

Wake up America. There’s no out-of-control crime wave in Memphis or Chicago or Portland. The little neo-Nazis are pushing the boundaries and seeing what they can get away with. If We the People don’t stand up and push back (might I add non-violently), All Of OUR FREEDOMS will be gone.

The condescension of two-bit Attorney General Pamela Jo Bondi today underscores that the only thing this administration excels at is a complete lack of self-awareness.
