The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

Syrians know what dictatorship looks like. It starts with a few gov-perpetrated murders & distortion of the truth, then escalates to full-scale warfare against a civilian population. Americans, be prepared.

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.

Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.

Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.

ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Protestors are asked to wear the colour yellow to increase visibility and uniformity.

If you have extra yellow tape, clothes, or ribbons help distribute it to others. For example, you can cut old shirts and make arm bands or head bands. #3E #NoKings #50501Movement #indivisible #wearetheflood

Turn off your Face ID and Touch ID if you are taking your phones to the protests. Keep it in airplane mode and use encrypted apps where possible. Protect yourself.

Sen. Sanders: No, Speaker Johnson, the #NoKings rally on Oct. 18 is not a hate America rally. It’s a Love America Rally. It’s a rally of millions of people who believe in our Constitution, in the American Freedom, and who’s not gonna let you or Trump turn this country into an authoritarian society.

Israel promueve la liberación de militantes yihadists y se niega a liberar a los líderes de la resistencia laica. Lo mismo hizo Assad en Siria, favoreciendo la liberación de los fundamentalistas. La táctica de cuanto peor, mejor.
