Shameful

Should you also be someone who protested all day and/or joyscrolled all night on Saturday, @maddow.msnbc.com highlights a ton of beautiful #NoKings protests across the country (including my photos from the Littleton, CO protest, yeehaw!). Enjoy! 🐸❤️🤍💙✊

"In a year with many losses for pro-democracy Americans, No Kings was a win." 1. Tons of Americans think something is wrong 2. Opposition solidarity 3. Organizing 4. Entirely peaceful 5. Rattled Trump & MAGA 6. Make societal elites think twice 7. Strengthen the spine of elected Democrats

"Ending the Roadless Rule would be the single-largest evisceration of public lands protection in American history. Drinking water, wildlife habitat, rivers, and recreation... Once you start punching roads into Roadless Areas for industrial extraction, there’s no going back. They’re lost forever."

So many recent headlines fit under "horrific but totally unsurprising," aka the driving motto of the Trump administration.

She is literally not a Representative until she is sworn in. She has no staff, no funds, etc.

Happy Diwali to all who celebrate! This day is a reminder that light triumphs over darkness and that freedom and righteousness will always prevail. I wish you a Festival of Lights filled with joy and justice!

the kids are alright

The Trump administration is anti-education, anti-diversity, anti-joy. Thank goodness for @mychal3ts.bsky.social 💕

This is why they had the Marines fire artillery rounds over I-5. For a JD Vance TikTok.

The most reckless, stupid administration E-V-E-R. Nothing comes close.

Go to hell, Abbott. Texas deserves so much better.

Michelle Brané, human rights attorney who directed DHS’ ombudsman office, said Trump’s adherence to “the authoritarian playbook is not even subtle. ICE, their secret police, is their tool. Once they have that power, which they have now, there’s nothing stopping them from using it against citizens.”

"The government does not track how often immigration agents hold Americans. So ProPublica created its own count." • 170+ Americans in 9 months of Trump administration • Includes 20 children (2 with cancer) "The administration has gutted the office that investigates allegations of abuse by agents."

What keeps you coming back to this dangerous work, day after day? "It's an addiction. Because once you feel that you did something good at the end of the day, that we saved a life, or made land safe for people and their children, you cannot stop."

@clintsmithiii.bsky.social, always thought-provoking "The overall narrative put forward by Colonial Williamsburg (was that) slavery was not so much part of a greater set of American contradictions as a speed bump on the otherwise straight road of progress."

PLEASE SIGN! ✏️ America First Legal Foundation has petitioned the US Election Assistance Commission (EAC) to add proof of citizenship to the federal voter registration form. Adding paperwork hurdles would block eligible voters, esp. students, women, people of color, rural and low-income communities.

I thought Trump declared "everlasting peace"? Does this mean Netanyahu lied about a ceasefire as Palestinians were returning home? How could we ever have anticipated such violations? "The Israeli army has committed 80 violations since Oct.10, killing 97 people and wounding another 230."

Powerful sign at No Kings in Cleveland

This is what solidarity looks like. Together, we will win.

I’m absolutely exhausted in the best possible way. I love us. We did it! #NoKings

October 18, 2025

After a week of ridiculous Republican smears and Trump claiming that “very few people are going to be there,” you just made history. #NoKings

Today's official crowd count estimate from #NoKings coalition: 7 million people turned out nationwide That's 2 million more than the #NoKings peaceful protests in June

No Kings in Madison, Wisconsin:

“There’s no way I’m bending the knee I have left for a king in America.” Damn. Just … damn.

Today was joyful and empowering. We CAN rebuild our country when we stand stronger together! #NoKings

“We’re here peacefully protesting, looking as ridiculous as we can, just so maybe we appeal to the president because he’s a ridiculous leader that is normalizing abuse of power. And we cannot stand and act like nothing is happening.” 🦄

HAPPY PRIDE ORLANDO!!! And shoutout to everyone who attended No Kings right before. Our biggest pride yet. We proudly believe in justice for the LGBTQ+ & Immigrant community. No to authoritarians scapegoating our people in order to consolidate power and make money. No ICE in the sunshine state 🙅🏾‍♂️

Abrams: The destination this nation was built on was a nation that sees all and serves all and stands for all. And yet we are living in a moment where ethno-fascists are in charge of the government, Christian nationalists are making economic policy, when we have a secret police telling us who we are

#NoKings #ATX #AustinTX

Pritzker: Throughout history we've learned that tyranny doesn't arrive with dramatic proclamations. Most times it comes quietly wrapped in the language of law and order, with fingers pointed at someone who doesn't look like you, promising safety while demanding that we sacrifice our neighbors.

There's an axolotl song of that's your thing
