THIS is a proper headline.

"Be loud for America."

Here is the chart showing the growth of reported protest over time, 2025 vs. 2017, referenced in the piece below.

"When experts talk about competitive authoritarianism, they are usually referring to countries like Hungary and Turkey. A leader is elected in a more or less democratic system — and then starts to work to break the democracy that put them in power."

Who could have foreseen that pursuing a lawless terror campaign against the majority of farm laborers would raise the cost of the vital goods they produce for the country

We've seen this playbook in the darkest days of history: Dictators targeting independent journalists and dissenting views — using power and threats to silence those who tell the truth. Today it's WSJ, AP, NPR, Colbert. Who's next? We must resist together or we will fall apart.

We just went through a half-decade of sham censorship hearings in Congress, but it certainly seems like the government forced a comedian to get fired as a bribe to ensure a merger goes through. Is that true? Let's have a hearing and find out.

♥️ 🎶 Trump not like us 🎶

The National Guard troopers confirming what everyone suspected; they don't want to be there.

Ending Powell’s term early “could have a profound impact on .. the cost of living for Americans. .. it could backfire spectacularly if markets started to believe the Fed .. is being forced to accommodate government borrowing.” @ernietedeschi.bsky.social www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Passing this crap will lead to economic devastation and destruction of the dollar.

🚨BREAKING: Cal State LA just moved classes online and let faculty work remotely, not for a storm, not for COVID, but because ICE is in the area. Let that sink in, an entire university is treating immigration enforcement like a public health crisis.

“It puts thousands of lives at risk of persecution and torture."

did you know that in florida you can use your homeschool grant money ($8k/year per child) to buy tvs and theme park admission tix?

After Bass spoke with what I assume is a DHS rep, they packed shit up and headed out. The whole neighborhood turned out to chase them out of the park. Some fruit was thrown, alot of yelling

There will now be 10,000 new ICE agents & 100,000 new detention beds--and few safeguards protecting people from constitutional violations by the feds. Time for states to pass laws allowing people to sue fed agents. Read about it these "converse-1983" statutes here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

I’m sorry for the long post but a lot of you have followed me for a long time, since 2016 when I was one of the first to repeatedly call out Trump for being a Russian asset. I don’t know how else to say this, as a person who has studied cults (wrote a bestseller about it) and totalitarian states.

Three-quarters of Americans say democracy is under serious threat, according to a new NPR/PBS News/Marist poll.

Everything is a “redistribution of wealth” — the only question is which direction it’s heading in. Stop letting them convince you the only valid direction is from the bottom to the top. They’ve been selling that snake oil for decades.

Have been saying this a while over whole young candidates vs. older. Age doesn’t matter. Attitude & motivations do. (Although 75+ is ridiculous.) If you’re running for wrong reasons &/or are too cowardly to fight, you’re worthless. In Congress, a lot of Dems signal they didn’t sign up for “this”. 😤

I can’t believe this is our country, now.

Damn right!!!

Resistance will take many forms in the days and months ahead.

Trump’s attacks on Iran were based on vibes, not new intel, two administration officials tell Rolling Stone. “There is no intel,” one of the sources says. “The intelligence assessments have not really changed”

Welp.

This was not a full-page ad I was expecting to see in the Sunday NYTimes today

Ass

Agree with this thread

Good———Many Americans are witnessing immigration arrests for the first time and reacting apnews.com/article/immi...

The video of John Spitzberg's arrest has been shared widely across social platforms, becoming a crystalizing moment for those protesting the Trump administration.

If you’ve got a badge and a gun but think your actions are shameful enough to need a mask, you should quit.

ICE protecting Americans from this criminal mastermind who was brought here at age 8 so he and his mom could escape violence in Honduras

You can see the ICE agents in their minivans then the LAPD cars in the back appearing to block the Dodger Stadium parking lot entrance. When I asked an LAPD officer if they are blocking ICE from entering the parking lot she said “put it this way. The Dodgers don’t want them coming in.”

Without majorities in Congress or a quasi-military force prepared to resist, this is pretty much the most important thing Democratic officeholders could be doing

My god. 6 MILLION acres of public lands in Oregon, including the vast majority of our national forests, will be sold in a fire sale if the MAGA budget passes.

You seriously cant make this shit up A law enforcement officer points a taser at a person wearing a hot dog costume during a protest Saturday, June 14, 2025, in Portland, Ore. (AP Photo/Jenny Kane)

The Tea Party protests in April 2009 had about a third of a million people involved, and the political media treated it like a game changer for the Obama presidency. The No Kings rallies were AT LEAST ten times bigger than the Tea Party protests. Will the press keep pretending Trump is popular?

This is serious, rigorous analysis and it should change the way the media has been covering these protests. These were, in the aggregate, *massive.*

😂

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

update: my 72 year old parents went to a motherfucking protest today. they went to #NoKings in Fort Myers. My dad said there were 3-5,000 people there, which is INSANE for bright red Lee County, Florida. But my parents. They went to a protest! My dad has never protested anything but inconvenience.
