When Trump announced 4 days ago randomly that India agreed to stop buying Russia oil, I was surprised because Russia is their largest supplier, we are still in a trade war with India, and their govt has said nothing about it. Turns out he just lied and made it up. Shocker.

NEW: @katie-drummond.bsky.social spoke with @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social about internet fame, technocracy, and... Linkin Park? www.wired.com/story/the-bi...

A fascinating piece about life as an in-the-trenches GOP operative in the Trump era and the compromises you have to make. Almost all are now fully bought in. But some remain concerned. This one decided he had enough. Please read and share! www.thebulwark.com/p/my-last-da...

America’s biggest offshore wind farm will be online in 6 months. Dominion Energy’s 2.6 GW project off Virginia’s coast is progressing fast. The utility has a new, more definitive target to plug into the grid: March 2026. grist.org/energy/ameri... #Virginia #Climate #Wind #Energy #Ocean

This is sick. Several of the MS13 gang members Trump traded to Bukele so he could have access to CECOT prison for deportees were actually COOPERATORS with law enforcement. He betrayed them. wapo.st/4nbNiM4

So what’s next? Tomorrow’s mass call of movement leaders and activists is all about that. Our pro-democracy movement is surging, and it’s up to each of us to channel this incredible energy into the organizing power it will take to win. Let’s get to work: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

Facebook deletes anti-ICE group after DoJ request. "The Facebook group, 'ICE Sighting-Chicagoland', shared information about ICE agent sightings and was growing in popularity since the beginning of ‘Operation Midway Blitz’....

Trump's speeches on homelessness drip with fear and disgust. His policies are worse.

🔥 DemCast’s Director of Partnerships, Jamie Carter, didn’t just organize the Salt Lake City #NoKings rally — she lit it on fire. Her powerful, rebellious speech moved 15,000 strong, proving that courage is contagious and democracy’s defenders don’t back down. 💙

Official count estimates are up - before it was "nearly 7m" then it was "roughly 7m" now it is officially "more than 7m." Trend is up!

Oh…

The New York Times has reported—and the president seemed to confirm—that Trump has signed what’s called a “presidential finding,” or a classified directive authorizing covert action, against the regime of Venezuelan ruler Nicolás Maduro. trib.al/yz6Yv4I

Ménage a quarte anyone

Hero’s of the day - In a small town of Beckley, WV, Kendra Sullivan staged a one-woman No Kings protest. She was confronted, had the police called on her, but stood her ground. She was physically threatened. Police came more than once and protected her right to protest. This is how we do it.

These four, evans, hurd, crank and boebert voted to cut the VA budget, Cut Medicaid, cut food for the poor, and close schools. I wouldn't let them run a septic cleaning business, much less our government. VOTE THEM OUT, WRONG FOR COLORADO! Colorado! #Colorado

While you and I have to pinch pennies, because of insane high prices and we have to buckle down even more, because of the Government Shutdown, ICE Barbie bought herself 2 luxury private jets for $172 million dollars. Taxpayer money? Mystery Funding? We demand answers!!!

Workers in the South are winning higher wages and better working conditions, even without a union. “Workers are taking matters into their own hands.” From Jesse Baum with @capitalandmain.bsky.social: trib.al/VhKtS28

Children are dying because Trump gutted USAID and cut lifesaving foreign aid — even though it took up less than 1% of the U.S. budget. Meanwhile, he's preparing to dole out $40 billion to prop up Argentina's failing economy, all to help out his authoritarian pal. Priorities.

Florida’s surgeon general’s anti-vax beliefs are only the tip of a very deeply weird iceberg. Joseph Ladapo’s guiding voice? His wife, who believes she can talk to “Archangel Michael, Mary Magdalene, and many other beings of light.”

Today Netanyahu claims Hamas broke the ceasefire. Glad I shared yesterday how the Israeli military had once again violated the ceasefire— this time killing a family riding in a bus heading home.

Love the drone footage!! Thank you to everyone that came out with us yesterday!!💙

Apparently there was a brief mention of the No Kings protest on the front page of the print NYTimes today. I just looked at my NYTimes app (Sunday at 12:20pm Pacific Time) and had to scroll almost the entire way to the bottom of the "Today" section til I saw a reference to it under "Most Shared."

It's incredible how much slack white Americans are generally willing to cut rally-goers like the folks interviewed here who consider themselves to be part of the virtuous American volk. This is a useful reminder that right wing media has been breaking brains for years now. youtu.be/ht8PmEjxUfg?...

I went to check out that April 2009 protest at the OR State Capitol. The crowd was disproportionately older and I don't recall seeing a single person who wasn't white. Yesterday's No Kings rally in Salem was disproportionately older as well (though less so), but far more diverse otherwise.

Remember April 2009 when about 250,000 people took to America’s streets in Tea Party rallies and the media was like “oh man, the Dems are in trouble?” Approximately 28X as many people took to the streets to protest Trump yesterday. Didn’t even make the NYT front page.

Top story when you go to The Guardian this AM. Which it is not when you go to the Washington Post or the NY Times. Apt language here, whereas WaPo describes the day as an airing of grievances as though we are a bunch of whining George Costanzas, not a vast public fearful of losing everything.
