Pritzker: Throughout history we've learned that tyranny doesn't arrive with dramatic proclamations. Most times it comes quietly wrapped in the language of law and order, with fingers pointed at someone who doesn't look like you, promising safety while demanding that we sacrifice our neighbors.

You gotta have a moment of pity for these MAGA tools/trump sycophants who never experience even one moment of genuine joy in their lives.

They are programmed to be angry.

Kinda sad, really.

I am loving the No Kings rally in Ocala, Fl. So proud of our community today. Ocala SHOWED UP.

Also reporting that we were all being paid by George Soros.

I seriously wonder how those "reporters" can stand themselves.

A No Kings reminder that Tylenol doesn’t cause autism.

That Trump and RFK Jr are “making the proof” that it does.

That their villainizing of autistics is a prime example of their eugenics agenda.

That the “big autism announcement” was yet another big ol distraction.

A protester holds a sign designed to look like a Tylenol ad. It has a photo of Epstein and Trump and says Extra 'Tism
TYLENOL
FOR ADULTS
ASEDA...ASCENEM...
ASCENEM-MINOPHEN(?)
RAPID RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES
Fever Reducer
Truth Revealer
Autism Scapegoat

Coast Guard bought Kristi Noem two private jets (I guess if one breaks down). Cost: $172 million. Is that what you call draining the swamp?

Old white lady here. Just want to say - I am most definitely antifa!

I love the dream of America. I don't love the dumpster fire of an attempted fascist take over that is the mess we're in now. BUT we, the people, are going to fix that, aren't we?

Yes. They ignored the anti-Brexit marches in London several years ago. That should have been a warning to everyone in the UK. Any American media company that ignores the #NoKings marches must now be classed as working for the fascists.

Read some guy who was leaving the Catholic church because of this post.

Wait 'til he meets JC.

The Federal Government now works against the people. It's important to absorb that fact.

Get yourself out to a No Kings rally and help make a statement that we don't accept being governed by a tyrant and his minions.

My friend who is joining us in CA was going on and on about all these scary thoughts.

I had to tell her, "Put that shit away. This is a joyful gathering of people who believe in government By The People. It's not scary it's powerful. You'll see."

Just so you know... I will NEVER be that person. I will go hungry rather than open up a smelly tupperware with whatever inside on a flight. It's not in me to do that.

Our federal tax dollars are being used to fund a network of government social media accounts that pump out disinformation 24/7. Even during a government shutdown. It’s definitely not essential work.
