A revealingly creepy formulation by Speaker Johnson.
What does he mean by “they” are going to “descend” on “our” capital?
WE are going to assemble in OUR communities exercising OUR constitutional rights in defense of OUR nation.

Johnson: “They're going to descend on our capital for their much-anticipated so-called ‘No Kings’ rally. We refer to it by its more accurate description: 'The Hate America' rally. I'm not sure how anybody can refute that."

Trump and his cronies have spread desperate lies about No Kings Day — calling peaceful participants "terrorists" and "criminals."
You know why? Because they want us to shut up and go away. That's how kings and dictators win. But we won't let them.
See you tomorrow. NO KINGS.

Forget Trump's lies. This is what No Kings Day is actually about.

“When he is out of custody, Mr. Santos will have served fewer than three months of an 87-month sentence.”
I think at this point it’s fair to say that we’re no longer under the rule of law.

Every day, another piece of nauseating news hits my gut in a way I thought I’d become immune to, reminding me that the decline towards fascism takes place through the actions, not just of the fascists themselves, but of weak humans who choose short term self-preservation over courage and conviction.
Back in 2020, YouTube suspended OAN's channel, demonetized it, and noted it was not an "authoritative" source.
Now, five years later, the Google-owned platform has inked a deal to put the MAGA propaganda network in millions of living rooms.

Declaring a fake emergency as an excuse to deploy the military to police civilians is one of the most canonical examples of authoritarian takeovers.
Overseas, people see clearly what Trump is doing. Here in America most people — especially those with power or influence — are in denial.

Monied right-wing donors have been investing millions, like tens of millions, in batshit nobodies for years with an eye toward legitimizing disinformation and fascist propaganda. Monied left-wing donors have responded by hoping that, I guess, Maddow does a real good show sometimes

![Use and adapt our drafted comment below or write your own!
I strongly oppose the proposed repeal of the Endangerment Finding. The science is clear: greenhouse gases unequivocally harm our health and our environment. Weakening or repealing the Endangerment Finding will make it harder, and costlier to protect our communities from pollution and from the effects of climate change.
Optional: I care about this issue because [insert your personal reasoning here -e.g. "my father has COPD," "I recently lost my home to a devastating hurricane"]
I urge you to keep the Endangerment Finding in place and to apply science to protect our health and our environment for generations to come.
