The wannabe king is now directing his regime to prosecute his political opponents. Trump thinks his rule is absolute. But in America, we have NO KINGS and we won’t back down to chaos, cruelty, and corruption. Join us for the next nationwide day of defiance: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

"I believe in human rights, equality, and social justice, and I felt a need from within to impart that philosophy into my work.” Willy Chavarria, ACLU ambassador for immigrants’ and LGBTQ rights, uses his identity and his experiences to fuel his activism.

Your Members of Congress need to hear from you. Urge Senate Democrats to keep holding their ground. If you’re represented by Sen. Fetterman or Rep. Golden (or Rep. Gluesenkamp Perez, who was recorded as not voting), be sure to let them know how you feel about their support for the GOP’s proposals.

Senator @schumer.senate.gov is "hoping and praying" Trump will sit down and negotiate. Stop this charade now! @democrats.senate.gov need to shut it down!

We need to pressure ABC/Disney to reinstate Jimmy Kimmel’s program, cease their political collusion with Trump and his FCC lapdogs, and commit to defending free speech: indivisible.org/government-c... #BoycottDisneyABC

We’re fighting back with our voices and our wallets — because no wannabe king can match the power we wield when millions of us take action together: indivisible.org/government-c... #BoycottDisneyABC

Jimmy Kimmel and other late-night comedians have certainly said things about me that I found offensive, even outrageous. It never crossed my mind to call up the networks and say, "Hey, get rid of this guy." Because that's not how America works. play.prx.org/listen?ge=pr...

Imagine if Richard Nixon had just tweeted out the Watergate scandal rather than putting it on secret tapes. That’s what this is.

As long as they’re enabling Trump’s authoritarian power grab, we're going to #BoycottDisneyABC and cancel Disney+/Hulu/ESPN. We stand with #JimmyKimmel and the First Amendment. #FreedomOfSpeech

SUNDAY: We’re offering a training on how to identify, defuse, and prevent the spread of political violence. By standing up in defense of democracy and in opposition to violence, we spread the courage for more to do so.

Trump wants to stomp out dissent but we refuse to be silent. We must use our economic power to pressure ABC/Disney. Encourage everyone you know to cancel their Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ subscriptions, and post their cancellations to social media using the hashtag #BoycottDisneyABC. 🧵

We now have 1,500 nonviolent protests planned on October 18, with hundreds more expected soon. Ensuring all those events and organizers have the training, support, and resources they will need is a massive undertaking. If you can, chip in today to make the No Kings protests massive and historic.

The First Amendment is the bedrock of our democracy — and protecting it isn't a partisan issue. The fight for free speech should be one that everybody can get behind.

Vote with your dollars.

“Disney is run by human beings. Some of those human beings are cowards. Those cowards don’t want to be named and shamed, and if you do that effectively, they will shift their behavior.” - @ezralevin.bsky.social Cancel fascism and reinstate Kimmel: indivisible.org/government-c...

“Be loud, for America.” Read Governor JB Pritzker’s stirring op-ed on our nation’s current state and how we move forward together.

In a moment like this, when tensions are high, part of the job of the president is to remind us of the ties that bind us together.

On this day in 2011, “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” ended. But 14 years later, our servicemembers are still fighting to be treated equally. As Vice-Chair of the @equality.house.gov, I won't rest until every American can serve freely & openly as themselves.

Stephen Colbert: “Tonight we’re all Jimmy Kimmel…. With an autocrat, you can’t give an inch. If ABC thinks that this is going to satisfy the regime, they are woefully naive, and clearly they've never read The Children's Book If You Give a Mouse A Kimmel.”

In America, we defend free speech in terrible times. We defend free speech even when it’s offensive. We defend free speech. www.cnn.com/2025/09/18/p...

Second, it’s worth reading this excerpt from Frederick Douglass:

First there’s this piece by David French, who devoted much of his legal career to defending the First Amendment rights of conservative writers and scholars:

This commentary offers a clear, powerful statement of why freedom of speech is at the heart of democracy and must be defended, whether the speaker is Charlie Kirk or Jimmy Kimmel, MAGA supporters or MAGA opponents.

STEWART: “Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether— we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.” Nailed it.

People think they have to go to Chicago to go to a big rally, but it’s one-third of the population of the suburbs...don't sleep on the suburbs. Join us in Arlington Heights #Illinois in 1️⃣ MONTH! WE. THE. PEOPLE. 💪🏻 October 18th @ 3pm. Tell 3 friends. Be there. #NoKings www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

We won’t let Donald Trump dictate what voices the American people are allowed to hear. That’s why millions of us will join protests to defend our rights and our democracy in the largest peaceful mass mobilization in American history. Find your local event: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

Ash-Lee Woodard Henderson: We're going to have millions of know your rights cards at No Kings events. Event hosts have the ability to sign up to get shipments…It's our membership card and it's a visual reminder of what we're all saying together! #NoKingsKickOff @ashdashlee.bsky.social

🚨 Big news: @markruffalo.bsky.social will also join us tonight! We hope to see you in an hour at the No Kings mass kickoff call as we look ahead to our next nationwide day of defiance: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

The Trump administration’s cruel immigration enforcement tactics are recklessly endangering all Illinoisians, including hardworking immigrants and US citizens. This isn't the nation I know or grew up in — know your rights, stand up, and speak out.

U.S. Rep. Chuy Garcia (D-IL) calls out ICE & DHS after the murder of Silvio Gonzalez by their agents in Franklin Park: "First, they said he drove at officers. Videos show otherwise. Then, they said he dragged an officer. We've yet to see evidence ... DHS's story doesn't add up."

From Day 1, the Trump administration has been on a mission to silence and punish their political opponents. Now, they are clearly exploiting the murder of Charlie Kirk to escalate their campaign and threaten the constitutional rights of anyone they can. Call your reps 👉 5calls.org/issue/free-s...

REP. GARCIA (D-IL): "DHS insists they target criminal immigrants. Yet in Elgin, in the dead of night, staged a reckless raid ... Secretary Noem showed up for five seconds of fame and rushed to declare mission accomplished. Really? Two U.S. citizens were detained. Not criminals. Not even immigrants."

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.

REP. GARCIA (D): "Today, it's Latinos and other immigrants under attack. Tomorrow, it will be others. Once institutions are built to target and control, they don't surrender. They expand. Like many military industrial complexes, they find new enemies ... That's why we will not look away."

We’re kicking things off tonight with some of the smartest activists working to oppose the Trump regime’s authoritarian takeover. Join us to discuss the vision, urgency, and strategy behind the next national day of action on October 18: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

A month from today, we will gather for the largest peaceful protest in American history. The only way to protect our freedom of speech is to exercise our freedom of speech. Join your local event to make it clear there are still NO KINGS in the USA: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Swalwell: There’s going to be a Democratic majority in just over a year. To the FCC chairperson and anyone in involved in these dirty deals: get a lawyer and save your records because you’re going to be in this room answering questions

Their hypocrisy is on full display.

Republicans claim to want to “reduce crime” but here’s the truth: ❌ They defunded 373 violence prevention grants. ❌ They ended community safety efforts in Illinois. ✅ Their “solution”? Militarize our neighborhoods.

Uh, there is a lot to discuss. I'm looking forward to being in community with folks in 30 minutes to talk through how we organize effectively with everything happening right now. Join us and bring discussion topics!

TODAY: Chat with @leahgreenberg.bsky.social and @ezralevin.bsky.social about the Trump regime’s crackdown on free speech, our nationwide mobilizations on October 18, the upcoming government funding deadline, and whatever else is on your mind. 👇

The First Amendment is clear: Government officials cannot use their power to censor free speech.
