Mirroring police tactics for humor. Sound on!

This AFL-CIO guy was easily the best speaker in Grant Park, Chicago. The Democratic party desperately needs more labor and working voices like him to help with their messaging. He was the only one to even mention the Epstein files and call out Mike Johnson for shutting down the House.

Chicago won't let you down Abe. #Chicago, #Nokings

I love this. My inflatable is coming soon.

Props to @katmabu.bsky.social for speaking today and fighting for justice for all. Truth in the foreground, fascist snipers in the background protecting ICE Barbie and allowing her to violate the 4th Amendment at will. We need more people at Broadview!

I'll be there tomorrow!

It is only a matter of time before the Gen Z protests hit America. Starting to see the first One Piece flags at protests in Chicago. Africa and Asia are ablaze. @adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social, @thebulwark.com, @jvl.bsky.social - I'd love for someone on your team to get ahead of this story.

Great march tonight. Good energy, it is all prep for a massive #NoKingsDay tell you friends, spread the word. Chicago is showing how not to bend the knee to Tyranny. @chicago-cata.bsky.social #Chicago #NoKings @indivisiblechicago.bsky.social

We won's stop showing up in the streets!

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

Is there a way to give to Democratic candidates without going through ActBlue? I loathe all their manipulative tricks to get you to donate more. The entire organization makes my skin crawl, but I still want to support good candidates.

US Magistrate Judge Vaala trying to untangle Lindsey Halligan's first adventure in indicting someone:

ICE Nazis in Chicago tried to kidnap a food delivery worker but my man was too fast for those slow bastards

We need far more journalists like @adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social that look at so many swaths of America that the mainstream completely misses.

They can't even fire Jimmy Kimmel so I doubt a military purge is going to happen next week. Do I think they might try a Bolsanaro type coup? Absolutely. But right now? Very doubtful. We must be vigilante, but lets not allow that vigilance to over-inflate the power of these buffoons.

Opinion | I'm a Republican Senator. If I don't let Donald Trump use the Department of Justice to frivolously prosecute his personal enemies, I'll be primaried by someone who will let Donald Trump use the Department of Justice to frivolously prosecute his personal enemies.

As someone who works in Healthcare, I don't think people realize how much chaos, increased costs, and confusion the H1B Exec Order will cause. Much like Immigration, I thought the H1B needed reform, but this is not the solution. Trump will just turn it into another extortion scheme for bribes.

This is true, however, to the counterpoint I would add most people underestimate how small a base Trump needs to maintain his grip on power. Orban's Fidesz polls at similar Trump numbers. Raw popularity/unpopularity doesn't matter as much as coalitions and networks of power.

Let's get a quarter million in the streets. Chicago can do it!

Get ready. Everyone is needed in the streets. @50501movement.bsky.social @indivisiblechicago.bsky.social @chicago-cata.bsky.social

On October 18, we rise! Not to defend broken systems, but to defend each other! Because our communities deserve more than fear, silence, and billion-dollar bailouts for the powerful. No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings. FIND or HOST a 10/18 action at www.FiftyFifty.one #NoKings #Oct18 #50501Movement

Can we just reflect for a moment that in 20 years Kimmel went from being on the cringe Man Show, which aged as poorly as the podcast bros will, to now being the symbol of free speech against Fascist State Censorship? People and times change so fast. What a world.

Had to have been close to 1000 people if not more at the Albany Park Town Hall today about resisting ICE. So many people are running for office, mobilizing, getting involved. A movement is building & we will make history. #Chicago #ICE #Indivisible

Targeted boycotts, no pun intended, can be really effective. Businesses at some point just have to pick a side and deal with the consequences.

My book "On Freedom," the case for the value of freedom and a proposal for a better future, with a new foreword accounting for where we are today, will be out in paperback October 28th. timothysnyder.org/on-freedom

EXCLUSIVE: In an undercover operation last year, the FBI recorded Tom Homan, now the White House border czar, accepting $50,000 in cash after indicating he could help the agents, who were posing as business executives, win government contracts in a second Trump administration.

I want a quarter million people in the streets of #Chicago. Spread the word, tell your friends, recruit, build networks! The Montgomery bus boycott took over a year, we need to keep at it relentlessly! Also just bought your On Tyranny book. You won me over by quoting Czeslaw Milosz at the end!

This 100%.

I'm willing to believe evidence put in court and in legal briefings, anything else I'm taking with a huge grain of salt until there is more information.

fascism maintains power by making everyone too scared to fight back but the truth is there's only a few of them and most of the stuff they're threatening is logistically impossibly at scale. they'll make examples and count on that to cow the rest. Not fighting back is the only way to lose though.

FDR's 1936 speech makes Bernie sound like a moderate. Either we build a true people's power party or economic autocracy will continue to enslave us. The Democrats owned the House of Representatives for 60 years with this message. @grahamformaine.bsky.social @kenmartin.bsky.social

In the hands of a people's Government this power is wholesome and proper. But in the hands of political puppets of an economic autocracy such power would provide shackles for the liberties of the people... Their weapon is the weapon of fear. "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." FDR

We're only goin to win if we connect people to a larger movement that connects them with their neighbor, talks to them and not down to them, and addresses their real needs.

Barbarism

Imagine living in a world where Nick Fuentes is lowering the temperature more than the President of the United States... It feels like a greater fracturing of the messaging on the right. They're still trying to outrage each other, but Trump weakens by the day and MAGA fractures.

100% this, why so many shadow dockets?!

I am so shocked the shooter had almost the exact same profile as the Butler shooter. A conservative, pro-gun raised kid who became radicalized. It is almost like there is a pattern we could study here to help reduce violence. But that would be profiling and #Scotus says we can only profile Latinos.

Great News

“I think the data suggests that we should be taking right wing domestic terrorism way more seriously than many have done,” he said. “The ‘Fox News angle’ that Antifa is just as dangerous as the Proud Boys just doesn't hold up right now.” ccjs.umd.edu/feature/umd-...

We're not giving up in Chicago. The Montgomery boycott lasted over a year. It won't be an easy fight to chip away at Trumps pillars of support, but we will win. The protest gave the Art Institute a better feel!! #Chicago #NoKings

Proof that ICE are the bottom of the barrel in Law Enforcement and they're about to get dumber.

The Democratic governments that backslide into authoritarianism do it because the opposition party still plays by the rules while the Autocrats don't. Resist them every step!

Trump has way less support than people give him credit for. He has vulnerabilities and we can chip away at his support. Feels like they are pivoting to Venezuela and other distractions to hide their corruption.

Great protest today. Keep up the energy Chicago!! #NoKings #Chicago

Sign at the end says it all. I have no idea how many people showed up. Thousands and all the blocks in front and behind me were full! Using your voice matters. Start recruiting for No Kings 2.0. I want to see 250K in the streets of Chicago on October 18! #Chicago #HandsOff #Indivisible

We'll be there.

🚨NEW LOCATION: we will protest at MICHIGAN AVE & IDA B. WELLS DRIVE **Please share widely to spread the word about this change**
