Went to No Kings gathering in Marble Falls, TX, a county which voted 80% for Trump, and more than 500 folks gathered on bridge over Lake. Wow. So Amazing.

Marco Rubio sold out people cooperating AGAINST the gang that Trump claims to be trying to defeat in order to gain access to Nayib Bukele's concentration camp.

Yeah, we know they suck. But this is just stunning.

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.

a lot of the history of the civil war is eerily 1:1 with the present moment. attacks on politicians. cults of personality. violence as discourse. breaking of social norms. press and elites protecting white supremacy. use of religious fervor to drum up support. inequality. the 1% protecting their $.

i was reading about the history of the US civil war and historians say that the modern use of the american flag (as a show of support, as a morale thing, to display patriotism) was created there. prior to the south turning traitor, it was just an ensign, to mark ships, fly at embassies.

Telling moment: I was walking back from the rally, but a couple miles from it, carrying nothing but my gigantic American flag. An eight year old on his bike sees me with it and yells "No Kings!!" with absolute conviction.

My friends, they have lost the flag.

you gotta imagine that people protesting with NO KINGS signs in London, a city that very famously does in fact have a king, makes a whole other bonus group of people very mad

Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!

I'm sure many of you have heard by now that earlier this week, IU k*lled the print edition of its student paper, the IDS. The issue that was supposed to print this week contained criticism of the Whitten regime and IUs further slide into scist control, and they couldn't allow that to happen during Homecoming, when all the rich alumni are in town.
Enter Purdue! The Purdue student paper, The Exponent, owns its own presses. Yesterday, in an act of tremendous solidarity with their biggest rival school, they printed the forbidden issue of the IDS. They then drove it to Bloomington overnight and stocked all of the IDS boxes on campus, just in time for Homecoming.
Solidarity is what makes us stronger, and solidarity will be what ultimately allows us to triumph, if we can ever truly get it together. I hope everyone has a fun, safe day if they're going out today, and I hope we can think about what acts of solidarity we can begin taking to really make this movement MOVE - beyond a permitted expression of upset into more active resistance.
