I sure am enjoying No Kings 3 tonight.

Congratulations to Mayor-elect @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social on convincing millions to believe in politics and the future of the Democratic Party! His seemingly-longshot win represents a stunning rejection of the outdated, loser version of the Democratic Party that brought Trump to power twice.

How many kings?

These big wins will embolden Dems to take on Trump's lawbreaking and show there's a price for GOP enabling of him. Folks hate to hear this, but normal patterns are asserting themselves: Liberalism isn't dead, Rs are likely to lose in 2026, and Trump is really unpopular, not a magical exception.

turns out Americans don’t want a fucking king

The fascists are not inevitable. They're not unstoppable. They're not all powerful. They want you to think that, but millions turned out last month to call their bluff. And millions turned out today to claim our power. We will win.

The tyrant in the #OvalOffice is literally and figuratively wrecking the #WhiteHouse, symbolic of the #presidency of the United States. It couldn't be clearer. We must defend our U.S. Constitution now and restore checks and balances. #NoKings

Rally at 1. Crowd's getting big! Get down to Mt. Hope. March at 2!

Hasan: The people who cannot get through a single day without hating on late-night comedians and overweight soldiers and Muslim politicians and Mexican immigrants and Palestinian refugees and black women and transgender kids and peaceful protesters and Mr. Potato head, are lecturing us on hate?

Head to a protest today. I can almost promise you will feel less hopeless. That's exactly what they don't want. There are more of us than there are of them.

We have frogs everywhere. #NoKings

You know what was weird last week? I didn’t see anyone fired for quoting words actually spoken by Jane Goodall.

All No Kings attendees are encouraged to watch this Oct. 6 training about your rights as a protestor and ways to de-escalate should any hecklers appear. A recording will be available: act.aclu.org/a/no-kings-k.... As tempting as it may be to argue with MAGA, we are focused on OUR bold joy.

Tell NY Sen Schumer and Gillibrand and House Rep Morelle to hold their ground on the budget mess. Rs are trying to build pressure. Make your three calls! Push our Dems to fight like hell. More: indivisible.org/campaign/sto.... Schumer: 202-224-6542 Gillibrand: 202-224-4451 Morelle: 202-225-3615

My commentary from the first day of the shutdown. Expect a 70% increase in healthcare expenses.

"Not a single Democrat has talked about wanting to fund care for people in the United States unlawfully. Instead, what Democrats have said is they want to undo Medicaid cuts projected to leave nearly 10 million Americans uninsured." A smidge different.

Everyone is trying to have a normal Saturday night and the president's top advisor is on X announcing that civil war is necessary
