The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

This morning @flare.usa, @cliffcashcomedy.bsky.social, @americanopposition.org , and @burningriverbrigad.bsky.social went to Pete Hegseth's church to let them know that pushing white supremacy won't be tolerated. #FuelTheFLARE #YouCantScareFLARE

Chicago No Kings

UPDATE: COLOMBIA’s President says 🇺🇸 government (Trump) “committed murder” and bombed a fisherman with no ties to drugs “The boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure”

World War 2 veterans, the original antifa, took part in the nationwide protests against the fascist Trump regime. #3E #NoKings #50501Movement #indivisible #wearetheflood

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

DC J6: 1.500 arrests DC No Kings: zero Tell me again which side is violent?

I didn't get a picture of the best sign I saw today, but I remember what it said: Somewhere in America A little Hispanic girl Is hiding in an attic And keeping a diary. #NoKings

"It started in Spring Training. It's gonna end with four more wins. Let's stay on the hunt, guys!"

Good night, LA. 💙

SHOHEI OHTANI HITS ONE OUT OF DODGER STADIUM.

HI SHOHEI!!

There’s only one king in America: SHOHEI OHTANI.

I may be in Nepal, but this Chicagoan is reporting in for #NoKings

I suspect the MAGA government decided to launch all these Bluesky accounts tonight to try to bait people in advance of No Kings. These people have incurable 4chan brain and this is how they operate. Block them. Do not engage. Do not give them what they want.

Dear @wyden.senate.gov Please investigate these accounts for 1. Violation of the government shutdown, obviously not providing posts vital to preservation of life and property 2. Violation of the hatch act The Trump EPA account is pretty obviously spewing false propaganda about Democrats.

Go, Portland! Chicago stands with you.

No Kings!!

ProPublica reports that ICE fascists have detained at least 170 US CITIZENS. ICE fascists "dragged, tackled, beat, tased, and shot them." At least 3 women were pregnant, one had her door blown off while Noem watched. All have one thing in common—they're brown Latino Americans. This Is Fascism.

For the Epstein-th time, Oversight Dems are demanding no pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. Release the files!

State troopers in riot gear just plowed into the crowd, started arresting protesters and clergy.

You can listen to the full interview with ranking Armed Services Committee Dem Adam Smith about Trump's illegal bombings in this link. It's horrifying, revelatory stuff from beginning to end: newrepublic.com/article/2019...

This is critical. Rep Adam Smith ties bombings to troops in cities. "How far are we away from Trump deciding to use the US military to do a kinetic strike on people within the US because he sees them as a threat, by whatever definition he wants to throw out there?" newrepublic.com/article/2019...

It gets worse. Rep Adam Smith, ranking Armed Services Dem, says the administration has not presented a shred of serious evidence to lawmakers that those murdered on these boats *are even drug traffickers,* or any evidence that they were *actually headed to the US.* newrepublic.com/article/2019...

1. The president says he has the power to pay members of the military even though the government’s fiscal year ended on September 30. That may seem acceptable. After all, why should those who serve the country suffer while partisans blame each other for the shutdown? It isn’t acceptable.

Enjoyed a lovely lunch at Chhema Taal, a pristine alpine lake in Mustang, Nepal.

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

Remembering Virginia Giuffre. . .

Speaker Johnson, you ready to swear me in?

1. Nations that have bestowed lavish gifts to President Trump — or enriched Trump and his family by striking business deals with Trump-connected companies — have later received extraordinary benefits from the Trump administration.

The Boudnath Stupa in Kathmandu was more magical than expected. I sent millions of prayers for peace and healing into the heavens.

In Chicago, multiple ICE GOONS cornered an unarmed man and pulled their firearms on him.

Despite what some, including at DHS, are claiming, this video isn’t from a year ago in Chicago. It was Friday in Hoffman Estates, in my district, a street I’ve walked myself. It appears to show a child being violently detained by ICE. It’s real, and I’m demanding accountability.

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child. She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck. This is not about immigration enforcement. It's about terrorizing Americans.

If you don’t see the link between ICE and the IDF, you haven’t been paying attention. We are being asked to accept a world where whole communities are made disposable and marked for disappearance. If we accept that for anyone, no one is safe anywhere.

The phone number for the U.S. Capitol switchboard is (202) 224-3121. #epstein

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning. A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.

I'm Zach Wahls. A sixth-generation Iowan and a new generation of Democrat. And I'm running for U.S. Senate to defeat Joni Ernst.

CHICAGO — Outside an elementary school during dismissal… horrifying. What have we become?

Context matters

What about this guy who desecrated this flag by beating a cop with it? Oh yeah, you pardoned him, pedophile.

Please do your part to protect these spaces, leave no trace, pack out all trash, stay on established trails, and avoid disturbing wildlife. Small acts of care from visitors help keep our parks safe, clean, and protected.

1/ In August 2020, the president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, made an extraordinary request to President Trump’s ambassador, Ronald Johnson. A previously undisclosed report tells what happened next, according to a new ProPublica investigation. 🧵 ⬇️

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.
