Here's my gallery of Columbia SC's NO KINGS rally yesterday. www.katialee.com/galleries/pr... CC: @50501movement.bsky.social @50501-sc.bsky.social @indivisible.org

open.substack.com/pub/katialee... To quote @qasimrashid.com "Activate, organize and be relentless."

If the estimates were right, there were about 9 million people at No Kings rallies today. That would mean this protest was THIRTY TIMES AS LARGE AS THE TEA PARTY PROTEST which we were told, over and over again, was a massively important sign that US politics had shifted dramatically to the right

Republicans are concerned about retaining the Senate?🙄 We're concerned about retaining Democracy. We're supposed to have 3 co-equal branches of government. They're refusing to be that. They don't deserve to retain a damned thing. 🚫👑

The Message on Main Street. Columbia SC @indivisible.org @50501movement.bsky.social @50501-sc.bsky.social

Today, more than 8 million people came together across the country in the largest single-day protest in modern American history!

Columbia SC: To the lady handing out voting day bracelets— thanks for the swag. I’ll return the favor next time. You all are so creative and generous. You make me smile. @indivisible.org @50501-sc.bsky.social

Good trouble

As an American, I approve this message. Dear World. It’s time to stand up to the insane bully. open.substack.com/pub/ifloz/p/...

Can the “mainstream/legacy media” report on the importance and necessity of why we have to do this 💩. Not just a few drone shots. Make a damn list of impeachable, king-like crap he’s pulled in the 14 months he’s been “president.” Make the rest of the country wish they’d shown up too!

@democrats.senate.gov need to find their voice and say they support the troops by keeping them out of an illegal, unnecessary war of choice.

A group of wolves is called a pack. A group of fascists is called a CPAC.

As millions protest at No Kings this weekend, the Trump regime is violently cracking down on people exercising our 1A rights. As a human rights lawyer, I share 13 things you can do to better protect yourself and your community from Trump's goons. No paywall. Please share.

What if— like… they just said: “No we’re not gonna go. This is illegal. We won’t be fodder because of your stupidity.”

I’m watching the BBC news and I don’t know who this woman is but she ended a segment about TSA and Tyrannical Rex etc etc with a semi exasperated British tone: “That’s enough about that.” Seriously same lady. That is *enough* about THAT.

“Make good trouble”

That republicans have consistently taunted AOC for bartending post college, where she double-majored w/ honors in economics & international relations, makes it your patriotic duty to remind them they confirmed a college dropout with a background in plumbing to one of the biggest jobs in the country.

AOC: Companies like Palantir are mining endlessly the data and privacy of the American people—keeping track of everything that they say and do. And sending it to a militarized government. 

My grandparents were a little spacey so for some reason 2 pieces of ID have two different birthdays for my dad. It’s caused plenty of hassles. He’s tried to fixed it over the years. Imagine if he had to trace a mistake made over 80 years ago. Stop this nonsense. “Stop it.”

If you voted for the most gleefully loathsome human on planet earth, why should the rest of us judge you any differently?

Guess we still have to do this shit... See you Saturday for the next #NoKings rally. CC: @50501-sc.bsky.social www.katialee.com/galleries/pr...

"The sad thing is that when Trump first ran for president in 2015, I think the news media thought if they just reported what he said, it would be enough to shock the American public away from supporting him. But that didn’t happen." Because Americans are broken.

I failed this part of class. Can someone explain this like I'm 3, but also kinda detailed... Thanks

😂

“A modest proposal,” one could say.

Can Columbia SC do this to the offices they just leased down town?

Dear maga: no bitching now when people celebrate your God Emperor’s demise. Thems the rules.

As a Marine platoon leader in Vietnam, Mueller was shot and later returned to lead his platoon after his recovery. He received a Bronze Star for valor, a Purple Heart, 2 Navy/Marine Commendation medals, Republican of Vietnam Cross of Valor, and numerous other medals.

Note that MAGAs outraged at the left for not adequately mourning Charlie Kirk’s death are also twisting themselves into a fascist pretzel to justify Trump openly celebrating Meuller’s death. Every MAGA accusation is a confession & the cruelty is the point.

Nowruz celebrates the arrival of spring and rebirth. But for many in the Iranian diaspora, this year is different. As the war continues, many are trying to balance the joy of the holiday with grief. n.pr/4t0tiiV

I fucking agree. 😉

So much criming.

Students were arrested at the Krome ICE concentration camp after protesting ICE. History shows that when young people organize themselves, power structures begin to shift. This moment follows that pattern and we will likely only see more young people step up in the future!

This is just crazy talk, but— has anyone considered asking Tangerine Palpatine if he wants to quit? Like retire. Resign. Enjoy his 6.3 billion somewhere else. Like an island? Or tell him Obama is working in a lounge somewhere? ANYTHING!

An attack by Iran was so imminent Trump literally appointed a plumber to make sure we were prepared for it.

LOL so good

They call it the SAVE America Act. But look closer — it’s just another piece of the Project 2025 blueprint: centralize power, control voter access, and move election oversight to Washington. When politicians start rewriting the rules of voting… they’re usually trying to win without voters.

We need journalists to remember their job is inform the public. If that means hounding this demented, inept, carnival barker daily, then keep doing it. Call them all out on their bullshit— lives literally depend on it.

It was never about America First, it was always about the grift.

Humbly suggesting "trumpsteinian" for "gobsmackingly, epically demented with horrific consequences" because we are going to have a need for that adjective, imho.

I always appreciate @atrupar.com sifting through their bullshit, but I admit I watch the clips on mute. I find it fascinating to see all the micro facial expressions and body language of this woman who knows she's lying for a demented man who belongs at a Cracker Barrel not the White House.

The Senate is set to vote on the SAVE America Act this week—and President Trump is ramping up the pressure by claiming he won’t sign any bills until it passes. We can’t let it pass. Here’s why. 🧵

Journalists in Washington know they can get mini-scoops from JD Vance's camp in the future if they help spread the idea now that he's not 100% for the Iran war. Of course, Vance is trying to have it both ways, and maybe the news media shouldn't help him do that.
