This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

Tulsi Gabbard is trying to gaslight you in the name of authoritarianism, points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

Despite warnings from the law enforcement not to attend today’s No Kings rally after this mornings shooting of Minnesota lawmakers with the killer on the lose, the No Kings Rally is happening at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul.

Kansas City definitely turned out to voice our opinions today on #NoKings #FlagDay #ThisIsWhatDemocracyLooksLike

Political protesting by way of theatre at it’s best on display at Union Station in Washington DC

The next few months need to resemble the 2017 fight to save the ACA. In the end, we won. Call Congressmembers, confront them at town halls, offices, airports & fundraisers. Hold events so Congressmembers look really bad for being afraid of constituents.

I'm attending Indivisible's event, “RALLY NO KINGS -SATURDAY JUNE 14TH” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/nokings/even... Make your little placard, or a giant banner, or come with your shining smile. But come.

Just so we're all clear: It's not a coincidence that the first senator they've used physical force against is Sen. Alex Padilla, a Latino man representing California.

THIS from Cory Booker:  "… we have a constitutional obligation to provide oversight to the executive." And to speech. And to assemble. And to ask questions … of the very heads of the very departments over which the senator has fiscal/appropriations authority.

Padilla’s manhandling and handcuffing is designed for optics, as always. It’s also a good barometer for just how comfy this regime and their goons have become in their fascistic ways.

I know everyone is occupied w authoritarian tactics of Trump sending marines & national guard to LA but wanted to show the hypocrisy of this lawless regime. Trump is installing a pardoned drug trafficker as deputy director of the federal Bureau of Prisons

it isn’t and they know it which is why 1) they are rushing to do 4+ years worth of harm before the midterms, fully expecting to lose Congress but just hoping the damage is irreversible by then; 2) they are doing mostly small-scale symbolic horrors to intimidate the public, due to limited capacity

WTH, people?! Was this a campaign issue you demanded be “fixed” like this? Last year, credit unions were finally made to disclose the billions they made by charging their members unnecessary junk fees. Now? Well… Trump’s hiding their grift once again. www.levernews.com/trump-lets-g...

“They’re stealing it fair and square” ??!! Turning out to vote on 8/2/22 isn’t stealing. It’s exercising your constitutional right. #ksleg

🚨Democrats, led by VoteVets members, are fighting back against Trump’s illegal assault on USAID—driven by unelected President Musk and his puppet in the White House. Blocking public servants, gutting security, handing power to Russia & China—this is an attack on America. We won’t stand for it.

I thought you would appreciate just what @taxwarroom.bsky.social has been working on for all of us!!

This is a great read.

Marc Elias explains the ruling, the RNC's goal and the connection to ongoing litigation regarding the state Supreme Court race. Watch here:

Remarkable demand for its chutzpah and destructive short-sightedness. Buckle up, folks.

If there’s a silver lining to Wall Street’s retreat from climate commitments, it’s clearer than ever voluntary industry action won’t solve big economic and societal problems. Governments must make them do the right thing with regulations and other tools. www.politico.com/newsletters/...

President Biden sat for a generous interview discussing a range of issues and challenges and hopes. Take what you will from it, but the honesty and decency are real. And apparently very triggering for those utterly committed to the Naked Emperor.

Another day, another school shooting in America. #EndGunViolenceNow Let’s spread our message in the wake of our latest self-inflicted tragedy…

If I were in the White House, I would want to know why Artem Klyushin is offering a steady stream of policy picks to Musk and Trump, and why they keep mirroring those recommendations and talking points. I’d want to know why @FBI is apparently dead.

NEW: The great Trump-Musk crackdown is coming. And it will hit hard & fast. Journalists will be first. But everyone else is next. I urge you to read my 20 lessons in How to Survive the Broligarchy, inspired by & featuring the great @timothysnyder.bsky.social 1/ www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

As we watch the decapitation of American democracy in real time, I find myself turning to the scholars of history who have guided my writing to date.  “Be calm when the unthinkable arrives.”—Timothy Snyder, Lesson 18, On Tyranny  9/

Looking back now, I also understand that what Western nations have been enduring is the digital carpet-bombing of the minds of their citizens by hostile powers, using social media as the weapon’s delivery system, to make people overthrow their own governments. 8/

It's been 12 days since the election. Judging from the weekend papers and "the shows," 90% of DC media is full into normalization mode.
