Jack Smith wasn’t the special counsel when the FBI obtained a court order to search Mar-a-lago for classified documents.

He was in the Netherlands working at the ICC.

Just remembered there’s a No Kings song on WAR BALLADS.

If you find this helpful for your coming No Kings event(s), feel free to use it whenever and however. Totally free for any use.

(Yes, there are lyrics; an instrumental vibe check comes first, though.)

There Will Be No Kings in America

Portland is not war ravaged.

Chicago doesn’t need to be “saved”.

Undocumented immigrants do not qualify for Medicaid.

People should not have to “prove they matter” to get healthcare.

ICE should not be allowed to cover their faces.

This shutdown is being done to save healthcare.

Of course, some dude who writes for the Atlantic shit on Taylor Swift's new album. Of course. Patriarchy hates successful women.

The thing is, her FANS love it. The sad, sexist dudes who sit on their high horses can go fuck themselves.

Federal agents reporting to Secretary Noem have spent weeks snatching up families, scaring law-abiding residents, violating due process rights, and even detaining U.S. citizens.

They fail to focus on violent criminals and instead create panic in our communities.

An excerpt from the transcript of CBS correspondent Edward R. Murrow's broadcast from Buchenwald, April 15, 1945

perspectives.ushmm.org/item/edward-...

In another part of the camp they showed me the children, hundreds of them. Some were only six. One rolled up his sleeve, showed me his number. It was tattooed on his arm. B-6030, it was. The others showed me their numbers. They will carry them till they die. An elderly man standing beside me said, 'The children–enemies of the state!' I could see their ribs through their thin shirts. The old man said, 'I am Professor Charles Richer of the Sorbonne.' The children clung to my hands and stared. We crossed to the courtyard. Men kept coming up to me to speak to me and touch me, professors from Poland, doctors from Vienna, men from all of Europe. Men from the countries that made America.

Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress canceled talks to avoid a destructive shutdown. They’re intent on inflicting economic pain and spiking healthcare costs.

Make no mistake: they own this shutdown.
