“There’s a bunch of regular folks who are out here who’re protesting. It’s not what you’ve been seeing on Fox News. "They framed us as ‘terrorists.' So that’s kind of crazy. Naturally, that’s crazy.” Dispatch: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

DC J6: 1.500 arrests DC No Kings: zero Tell me again which side is violent?

Wut

Mike Fanone Is A Hero Of J6, Don Old Chump is a ZERO......

A 50 year old couple making $95,000 a year could see their premiums go up by $17,000 if the ACA subsidies aren’t extended. It’s the 19th day of the Republican Shutdown, and Republicans are still on vacation instead of protecting health care.

This is what Democracy looks like in Atlanta. #nokings

Rand Paul: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."

Finally came across video of an arrest at a #NoKings event yesterday. 🙄

No notes

Oakland is OUT and LOUD to say NO KINGS #NOKINGSOAKLAND #NOKINGS

Everywhere:

Thank you to everyone at the #NO_KINGS rallies for making your voices heard & being part of history. The massive crowds were joyful, passionate & spectacular! So were the signs...

Obama: "When you see an administration suggest that ordinary street crime is an insurrection or a terrorist act, that is a genuine effort to weaken how we have understood democracy."

"Authoritarianism, it's a cancer. The symptoms are here, today... We thought it couldn't happen here... and now the disease is growing, metastasizing in America. But there is a cure—it requires you. On October 18, Americans will stand up, peacefully, for what makes America, America." nokings.org

BREAKING: The NYT fights back!

Statement from Whitney Snyder, HuffPost EIC: “The restrictions Secretary Hegseth is attempting to place on the press are flatly unconstitutional. HuffPost will not agree to a document clearly aimed at snuffing out actual news-gathering at the nation’s largest and best-funded federal department.”

Anyone saying they’re not racially profiling is unserious

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.

I know I could get into trouble for posting the Antifa battle flag, but I'm gonna do it anyway.

San Francisco, it's time to show up for democracy. www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

Congrats to University of California professors & alumni for being awarded 5 Nobel Prizes! California’s scientists are leading the world in crucial breakthroughs. www.sfchronicle.com/california/a...

This is the way.

BREAKING: Apple has REMOVED the ICEBlock app from the App Store due to “objectionable content.” More billionaires bending the knee.

I wonder how this sounded in the original German?

6 months seems a pretty light sentence- been covering this story for a while: youtu.be/zM9wiqmOmbU?...

Was anyone really expecting TSA to show up and not get paid?

I always pay attention to what stories People Magazine and other consumer media outlets cover. That's how you can tell that something has broken through the usual political and news bubbles. This horrific Chicago story has broken through. people.com/ice-agents-o...

🚨 “They put black people in one van and immigrants an another… Trucks and military style vans were used to separate children from their parents.” THIS. IS. HAPPENING. People need to see this. We all need to see it. Nobody gets a pass here. Please share with your networks. 1/2

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

Holy hell. DHS just openly stated that its agents use “reasonable suspicion” to make ARRESTS. This is blatantly unconstitutional. The Supreme Court is clear that you need probable cause to arrest someone, as opposed to stop them to ask them a question or two. This is huge b/c…

Goodall transcribes field notes by lamplight in Tanzania’s Gombe Stream National Park c.1960

Well, it happened. I agree with Marjorie Taylor Greene. There, I said it. I feel like I'm in the Seinfeld "opposite world." FYI, while I get paid by a newspaper when I write a column, I decide what I want to write about and what my position will be. I've never been paid for social media posts.

Perfect

Erasing history.

Off duty So. Carolina deputy points gun at children threatening harm .... And gets a paid vacation while they "investigate." www.islandpacket.com/news/local/c...

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

It’s official: AIPAC is trying to buy my election to keep me out of Congress. Apparently, I’m a “dangerous detractor”... by believing Palestinians (like myself and my family) deserve basic human rights. But we’re not going to let AIPAC win.

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

Norway: Russian drones detected over Ørland Air Base where F-35 stealth fighters are stationed. Russia is identifying key targets across Europe for decapitating strikes to kick off a ground invasion of the Baltic states. Whether Russia actually does that is up to what Europe does now.

NEW: I arrived in the U.S. eight weeks ago to report on how the administration’s immigration crackdown was playing out from the front lines. What I saw Thursday was the culmination of ICE’s aggressive behavior. By @tilleckert.com

A lapse in federal services creates a ripple effect through the travel economy—impacting air travel, hotels, national parks, museums and many other services.

George Conway @gtconway.bsky.social on the Comey indictment: "This indictment is just quintessentially Trumpian: it is both breathtakingly corrupt, and mind-blowingly stupid."

I miss the days when the president wasn’t declaring war on our own people.

Armed paramilitary wearing death skull masks shooting “non lethal” rounds at news media. Make no mistake, we’re going to win. And they will all be held to account, from the henchmen to the autocrat himself.
