No Kings Day was one of the largest days of protest in US history. From deep red small towns to our largest cities, millions of people turned out to make it clear that the American people will not bow to fascism. #NoKings

NEW: Trump to USA: There is no rule of law.
Today, Trump signaled he would not abide by court decisions and return to the US a Maryland father who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador. He won't even ask El Salvador to send him back. This is cruel & dangerous.

Harvard rejects Trump demands, gets hit by $2.3 billion funding freeze
Harvard on Monday rejected numerous demands from the Trump administration that it said would cede control of the school to a conservative government that portrays universities as dangerously leftist.

By defying the Supreme Court’s order to return Abrego Garcia from El Salvador, Trump is laying the groundwork to do the same to U.S. citizens.
Now is the time to speak out — before there is no one left to speak.
We are on a path towards dictatorship.

Bone chilling.
A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States.
The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0.
