More costumes! More seniors playing the ukulele! More group dance! It makes clear how insane Trump and his sycophants are.

Never forget this day, February 28, 2025, when an American president abused and betrayed a democratic ally in the midst of a barbaric war with Russia. This grotesque stain will never wash away.

Day after day this liar’s lies harm millions of people, especially “Democrat oriented” people. Resist all of this! Protest all of this! Keep talking about the Epstein files until all of the Epstein file are released.

This was today, and these guys knew they were going to fire their own employees because, says Trump, they are "Democrat oriented." bsky.app/profile/atru...

Q: How many layoffs have you authorized?

TRUMP: It'll be a lot. And it'll be Democrat-oriented.

The shameless GOP lying about the No Kings gatherings scheduled for next Saturday reveals how deeply hostile much of the Republican Party is to “the right of the people peaceably to assemble.” I look forward to our local No Kings event, and urge my fellow Americans to attend in their communities.

Painful to hear the fear in her voice as she says, "let them know." And as others have noted, this seems to violate Judge Ellis's order issued just yesterday about arresting journalists & also about unnecessary physical force. (See 1(a) and 1(h) of order). storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I'm demanding a thorough investigation into what happened to Frank Miranda, my constituent who was abducted by masked ICE agents without reason.

This behavior is unacceptable and un-American. It has no place in our state or our country.

The House Majority Whip is also insisting that a peaceful "No Kings" demonstration is in fact a "hate America rally" held for the "terrorist wing" of the Democratic Party.

Really feels like they're trying to manifest a violent reaction to it.

The Speaker of the House is telling the Fox News audience that a peaceful demonstration by Americans on the National Mall will actually be a gathering of organizations the administration has designated as violent terrorists.

Seems bad?

This is very bad. I will be out on the 18th and I am a fmr GOP state comm member, GOP candidate, and worked for IRI. It is about freedom and democracy. The Speaker needs to face reality or be part of the destruction of the US.

It’s because of these assholes that I’ll be attending my first No Kings rally on October 18. I value my rights so much I’m doing what I think is the best course of action to preserve them, which is the opposite of “hating the country”.
