No Kings in Forest Park, Illinois @maddow.bsky.social @gtconway.bsky.social

No Kings #3 and I am setting up with others in Forest Park, IL. Once again the leaders in the House chose to make TSA staff suffer because they want a private goon squad! They are risking our safety at home while waging war and ignoring their own constituents. @maddow.bsky.social

The real story… under any other president this would be jail time…

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social suggests we learn from the administration and be prepared to start fast in all directions to return democracy. I think the democrats and independents should work on and publish Project 2027 (congress/exec branch) and Project 2029 (the rest) including accountabilities.

RIP, Renee and Alex. Thank you for showing strength and courage in the face of immorality and fascism. We will continue to observe ICE/CBP to bare witness to their lawless assault on good people. We must force our representatives to take all legal action to stop the administration’s assault on us.

Met several hundred lovers of freedom on Saturday at the US embassy in Ireland to speak up! As they say it was a grand day!

Perfect day to join others and remember Labor Day is about keeping children from working in factories, safety programs, fair wages, hours, and more. Standing tall with workers over billionaires in St Joseph MI. Many more “likes” from those passing! Where was Trump all weekend? @maddow.msnbc.com

Stock Market Today: Trump Orders Firing of Labor Department Official After Weak Jobs Report - The Wall Street Journal Well one way to deal with bad news is to shoot/fire the messenger-source. People know the truth because they are living it! Playing with statistics won’t help the administration.

Miguel Nunnees attempted to rob a CPD off duty officer - has a long, known, criminal history but not apprehended by ICE. Both were injured. Is ICE just afraid to go after dangerous immigrants because it’s easier to bully citizens that present no threat? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

July Fourth—Independence Day—is the original No Kings Day. Just saying.

Contact your senators and urge them to reclaim their constitutional authority by supporting Sen. Kaine’s war powers resolution: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-iran... Then urge your representative to support the war powers resolution from Reps. Khanna and Massie: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-iran...

Oak Park,IL, was all about NO KINGS today! Peaceful and thoughtful and energetic. What you expect from freedom and flag loving Americans. We welcome all with joy in our hearts, well except fascists.

Peaceful protests are fine. Violence is not and will only destroy your message. And please for the love of God do NOT wave a Mexican flag. American flags or nothing

Enjoyed an evening with the Bulwark crew and lots of resisters in Chicago last night. It’s up to us to define who and what we are. Start by peaceful but powerful disruption of the: -disappearances (it’s not deportation), -bailout of farmers rather than exporting goods, -cuts to services, -more

On a day when we should honor those who served, protected and died in the process, all of us should take time to reflect on how we live in the freedom they saved. Our leaders should demonstrate reverence and be a model. Maybe that is asking too much from the president:

Future historians -- if there are any -- will just be shaking their damn heads that Tapper sucked up all the oxygen as the current president was criming in plain sight while drooling and his henchmen were dismantling even more of the country.

Meet my sister, Michelle, who worked until she was 77. Her jobs didn’t pay well, she took them seriously and did her best everyday. When her memory faded she needed help. When her assets were used up, Medicaid assistance stepped in to keep her independent- with help - and her dignity. SAVE MEDICAID.

"The report in question was neither peer-reviewed nor published in a medical journal..." www.nbcnews.com/health/women...

I am excited about activities celebrating an exciting and humble leader on June 14, 2025. I hope people will turn out or tune in or participate in whatever way they can for Pope Leo XIV. A military parade pales in comparison. @gtconway.bsky.social @timmiller.bsky.social @maddow.msnbc.com

I don’t want to read about a former President’s mental decline because a journalist got a book deal. I want to read a report about the current President’s mental decline by a journalist brave enough to speak out now.

I will never forget that the week Qatar decided to bribe the president of the United States with a plane, CNN decided to focus on the age and health of an ex-president. Shame.

NEW: “By withdrawing the CFPB’s data broker rulemaking, the Trump administration is ensuring that Americans will continue to be bombarded by scam texts, calls and emails," says Sean Vitka, executive director of Demand Progress. A scoop:

Veterans know about trust - how trust is given and how trust is earned. Our nation continues to face a crisis of trust - and all of us can and must take action to change that.

#BREAKING: President Trump on Thursday tapped Jeanine Pirro, a Fox News host and former judge, to serve as the top prosecutor in the District of Columbia. Trump announced on true social that he was appointing Pirro to the job on an interim basis.

We should be grateful to the Lord to now be blessed with having an American on the world stage who embodies good and not evil.

We can handle the truth! We need the rule of law to protect people, truth and our constitution. Support the Rule of Law by showing up on May 1, 2025.

This days it all

This is St Joseph Michigan today The resistance is growing!

Whistleblower details how DOGE may have taken sensitive NLRB data www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n... Where to begin? It seems like there will be criminal trials, this is the USA, for DOGE members once there is a regime change! We have to vote the enablers out in 2026!

Spent an afternoon with 5,000 others exercising democracy through peaceful protest and voicing opposition to the current regime I. oak Park, IL.

Donald Trump Fell for Elon Musk's Big Con - The New Republic I wonder if DJT knows he’s been played? Maybe he sold out America to stop prosecutions? We need to continue to speak out against Musk’s sweetheart subsidies and contracts for his companies at our expense. See you on April 5th!

Supreme Court denies Trump administration request to cancel $2 billion in foreign aid - The Hill Alito missed the point, it is not 1 judge ordering payment, rather a judge upholding congressional power of the purse defined in the constitution.

SOTU Rebuttal: Elissa Slotkin >>>> Katie Britt

Exclusive: US and Ukraine prepare to sign minerals deal on Tuesday, sources say - Reuters Trump needs a positive reaction during his speech. If he signs it, and all the republicans laud it, let’s see how long it will take Trump to find a reason to abandon the deal with the support of his cronies.

A+++++++

And to think we could have had a sane, serious government run by an intelligent person who would have acted in the best interests of Americans, and not Vladimir Putin.

We just watched Trump & Vance do Putin’s bidding in the Oval Office & it was horrific. Not even two months into this administration & it’s a disaster for the free world.

"It’s reasonable to assume HHS will be the site of drastic cutting in the months ahead. After all, DOGE has an enthusiastic arsonist for a partner in Kennedy, who views not just vaccines but the whole modern medical-research apparatus with deep suspicion." www.thebulwark.com/p/a-midnight...

Authoritarian governments abroad are working hand-in-glove with our Trumpist authoritarians here at home. www.rferl.org/a/serbian-po...

I’ll take “Sturmabteilung” for $500, Alex

Cherry Hill, New Jersey:

The @principlesfirst.bsky.social conference was just evacuated due to a bomb threat. This is after Enrique Tarrio and members of the Proud Boys showed up and tried to disrupt the conference yesterday.

"Leland Dudek, a data analyst working in a small anti-fraud office, was suspected of sharing unauthorized access to information with representatives of Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service. Now he’s the acting Social Security commissioner." wapo.st/41qBKwR

Much media coverage: These Pentagon moves are unusual but Trump's within his rights and wants supporters of his America First agenda. The truth: How is removing the JAGs relevant to any agenda? New, Hegseth-selected JAGs are needed for total loyalty to Trump and finding all his orders lawful.

Imagine being too far-right and Nazi-like for the French far-right: "French far-right leader cancels US speech after ex Trump aide Bannon appeared to make 'Nazi gesture'"

REP. RICH McCORMICK: When you talk about presidential power, I remember having the same discussion with Republicans when Biden was elected TOWN HALL CROWD: *Noooooooooooo!*

It’s gonna happen way faster than that. 6 months, tops.

It is suggested that dark glasses go with Ketamine. I am pretty sure that chainsaw safety instructions say you shouldn’t operate it while under the influence of anything!

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.
