We’re outside of the Broadview ICE facility. It’s clearer than ever before. What’s happening in Illinois is an unprecedented, unlawful abuse of power.

The Republicans don’t want to pass their budget on their own. It’s full of ugly and unpopular stuff. They want Dem cover. We cannot give it to them.

Mike Johnson is so desperate to shield Republicans from questions about huge healthcare cuts and health insurance costs hikes that he keeps canceling House business so the GOP can hide. Let’s keep the pressure on Republicans to stop hiding and end the Trump Shutdown: indivisible.org/campaign/sto...

BREAKING: Sens. DURBIN, DUCKWORTH were just denied entrance to the Broadview ICE Facility in Illinois, unable to conduct constitutional role of oversight.

"President Trump continued to describe Portland as a city on fire Friday even as residents enjoyed the first fall rain and the lone demonstrator at the city’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement building was dressed as a pink Care Bear." Sometimes there is a good sentence or two in the NYT.

Gavin Newsom:

UPDATE: Judge Perry issued an opinion explaining why she blocked the Texas National Guard deployment in Chicago. She begins with Alexander Hamilton’s rejection of a “preposterous” idea that the Constitution lets a President deploy a State’s militia to a different State for political retribution. 🧵

A few minutes ago in the House: - Speaker Mike Johnson officially cancels votes next week, extending the House recess through a fourth week - House Republicans block Democrats from passing a bill to pay the troops during the shutdown, ensuring they will miss paychecks next week

Trump and Stephen Miller want us afraid, but we’re not backing down. We will see you in the streets on October 18: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

Republicans are lying about the peaceful No Kings Day protests because they’re desperate — the GOP is losing the shutdown fight while Americans reject Trump’s authoritarian takeover in huge numbers. “These are the threats of a regime that is not secure in their power.“ - @ezralevin.bsky.social

Going to chat with @chrislhayes.bsky.social about this ridiculousness in a few minutes - tune in!

SOON: @ezralevin.bsky.social will join @chrislhayes.bsky.social to discuss Republicans’ lies about the peaceful No Kings Day protests and the Trump regime’s escalating attacks on dissent. Tune into @allinwithchris.bsky.social on @msnbc.com.

And the lawsuits will follow promptly. Government shutdowns give presidents no additional authority to dismiss federal workers. We’ll fight these outrageous assaults on civil servants and public services.

“I’m worried about my community… I’m out here in a frog costume to show how ridiculous the notion that we’re violent terrorists is, and showcase how that narrative is wrong…” Serious Q: is it too late to give this dude the Nobel Peace Prize? 🐸 🏆

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...

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law. They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

It’s very much Not Great to have GOP leadership describe a planned non violent march as being in service a the “terrorist wing”

We don’t bow. We don’t kneel. In America, we decide, not dictators. No thrones. No crowns. #NoKings #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory

A restraining order was issued YESTERDAY by a federal judge barring detention of journalists in this district unless they refuse to reposition themselves and are given adequate time to do so, or there’s probable cause they’ve committed a crime.

It’s Hamas It’s antifa It’s Soros It’s terrorism It’s… It’s… It’s Americans who will be peacefully marching with signs and supporting democracy—and don’t want a King. #WeAreTheMajority And they know it.

Experimenting with a new concept using @queermedieval.bsky.social’s Portland Frog woodcut. Embracing goofiness as protest.

Trump’s regime is trying to blackmail colleges and universities to let him and his unqualified bureaucrats run our schools. We must demand that our universities commit to upholding freedom of speech and to providing an affordable, safe education for all. Take action to stop Trump’s “Loyalty Oath.” 👇

I know Mike Johnson says there is nothing for the House to do but there is. You see by law a budget was supposed to be in place by Sept 30th, but Rs haven’t passed one. The reason? There isn’t a GOP budget. They haven’t even started working on one. This is what the House should be doing FFS!

Anybody doing some organized pressure around this? A "bad Apple" campaign? A "There's an app for that but you're capitulating to fascists" campaign?

"After a few moments of laughter, the No Kings Coalition issued the following statement"

JB Pritzker says NO KINGS, SHOW UP ON 10/18

The No Kings protests have been some of the most peaceful and well attended political assemblies in American history. In fact, MAGA has mocked them as a bunch of boomer grandmothers. Now they are apparently terrorists. bsky.app/profile/atru...

There is nothing an authoritarian fears more than peaceful, organized people power. That’s why the White House is now turning its sights on us. 🧵

Tish James is an American hero and exactly the kind of leader we need in this moment. We stand behind her 100%.

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command. The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system. I am not fearful — I am fearless. We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Rep. Jamie Raskin has sent letters to four of the nation's largest banks demanding information related to "more than $1.5 billion in suspicious financial transactions flagged by the banks tied to sex trafficking crimes committed by Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and their co-conspirators."

No Kings. October 18th. Free speech is action. Please join in. www.nokings.org

The fact that this coming 9 days before the largest peaceful protest in modern American history is absolutely intentional. We will not back down. Trump and Miller can lie, smear, and threaten all they want. They will lose. No Kings, No Kings, No Kings. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

my "this has nothing to do with Epstein" public statement is raising questions already answered by the public statement

20 paragraphs down in the NBC News story that broke the information that the administration is considering invoking the Insurrection Act is the report that Stephen Miller is driving the issue.

“King Donald The First. F*ck that.” Robert De Niro wants to see you in the streets on October 18 to show the world that America has no kings, and power still belongs to the people: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

Also not Nobel.

Not at all Nobel.

The guy responsible for trying to provoke a civil war via extreme violence on elders, women, children, journalists, clergy, elected officials, workers, longtime residents, and refugees wants a Nobel Peace Prize. The same guy ordering them to murder people in boats in the Caribbean.

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! More of this please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All sorts of not winning right now for the Rs.

We are witnessing the most lawless behavior by a leader in American history, just daily, extraordinary abuses of power. National Democrats must speak out in a loud and clear voice against Trump's escalating authoritarianism. It is time now.

The NFL must act NOW to stop ICE from targeting the Super Bowl LX where Bad Bunny will be performing at the halftime show before it’s too late. #SBLX #AppleMusicHalftime sign.moveon.org/petitions/su...

Miller is lying in order to get you (and “low-info voters”) to give up. Without surrender, Miller and the rest of the regime got nothing. They believe you will believe their lies and conquer yourself. But they can’t conquer you if you don’t believe them.

He cannot govern. He's trying to rule. Let's stop him on Oct. 18. @hcrichardson.bsky.social #nokings Info here: indivisiblelasvegas.org/no-...

Thaank you Susan!
