An astonishingly large crowd! Chicago

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Watch how the media reports yesterday’s march. Outlets that don’t report it, or dramatically downplay it are showing you precisely who they are. When it matters.

Some immigrants said they didn't have enough food in ICE detention. This week's menu served at Richwood in August offers a glimpse into how immigrant detainees are fed. Could you survive on this diet? bit.ly/47h5vSy

I’m thrilled to be named one of @out.com's 100 top queer people of 2025 (and to come in first in the Disrupters category!) It is a huge honor to be recognized alongside so many brilliant and inspiring individuals who are shaping our world and advocating for greater inclusivity and diversity.

Update: The Israel Defense Forces said Sunday it responded after "terrorists" attacked troops operating in the Rafah area with gunfire and an anti-tank missile. Hamas said it was unaware of the clashes.

Israel has already killed least 51 people in Gaza since the ceasefire came into effect, now it’s resuming airstrikes.

Texas Gov. Abbott activated the National Guard in advance of this protest:

There are currently two (2) stories on NYT mobile homepage about George Santos getting released above the story about the maybe biggest day of protest in US history

We hear not

1. Washington DC #NoKings 👑

"There’s no way I’m bending the only knee I have left for a king here in America." U.S. Army veteran Brian Wofford gets emotional as he shares why he showed up to the "No Kings" protest in Oklahoma City. bit.ly/4hlPdfV

They changed it to “millions,” lol:

Every single No Kings protest, all 2,500+ of them across the country, made Mike Johnson and House Republican leadership look like lying sacks of shit for all the bullshit that spewed out of their mouths about it this week. Again. Not very Christian.

I would also like to report that I just heard from my mother, who has voted Republican for most of her life. Can't stand Trump Went to her first protest today. 150-200 people in our tiny rural two-stop-sign town

The Department of Homeland Security has purchased two Gulfstream private jets for Kristi Noem, the secretary, and other top department officials at a cost of $172 million, according to documents reviewed by The New York Times.

Chicago #NoKings march slowly kicking off with Prizker, Durbin at front

Bring back professionalism

UPDATE: This summer, organizers said more than 5 million people participated in No Kings protests against President Trump. Organizers say they expect an even bigger turnout this time around.

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states. Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

Mike Johnson loves shielding pedophiles from accountability

Joe Gebbia is the billionaire co-founder of AirBnB, a close friend of Elon Musk, and worked to gut the federal government with DOGE. And he just gave the single largest donation to Cuomo’s super PAC since the primary.

The Arizona Democrat would be the decisive signature on a petition to force a vote on releasing the records. But Speaker Mike Johnson says he will not swear her in until after the shutdown is over. n.pr/4o30DrC

GREENBELT, Md. (AP) — Ex-Trump national security adviser John Bolton charged in probe into mishandling classified information, AP source says.

Submissions are still open for the 7th Annual STORY Foundation Prize, judged by @deeshaphilyaw.bsky.social. Submit before December 15th to be considered.

Here's how differently-abled and disabled folks can join No Kings 2: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even... It’s a virtual protest! My backup plan 🙃

Gutting the Department of Education office that oversees special education programs and funding is just cruel. Trump should be focused on reaching a bipartisan deal to reopen the government—not hurting the 7.5 million children with disabilities across the nation.

I'm a cover girl, y'all.

Hello from Denver, CO! 🏔️ We’re at Tattered Cover books tonight for a Q&A event with @rweingarten.bsky.social about her new book, “Why Fascists Fear Teachers.” Follow along in the thread below. 📚

Remember, brown 13-year-olds are hardened menaces to society, but 30-something Republican Hitler afficionados in positions of power are just li’l guys.

The Supreme Court’s majority right wing indicated in oral arguments that they think racism is over on the same day that the vice president defended the “I love Hitler” guy, and that the NYT reported that the current administration plans to accept only white, English-speaking refugees.

Insurance rates up $2000. Food benefits cut off. Farmers unable to sell their crops. Skyrocketing national debt. $40 billion to Argentina. America First!

A teacher's job is to educate, but you can't teach a child who is living in constant fear. In Chicago, ICE raids are terrorizing the communities our students call home. So our members are stepping up to defend their students, their families, and the very idea of school as a sanctuary.

60% of youth in custody are diagnosed with ADD or ADHD – compared to just 11% nationally. Kids need care, not cages. #ADHDAwarenessMonth

Breaking News: A judge temporarily blocked the Trump administration from carrying out mass layoffs during the government shutdown.

Listen to how casually Justice Gorsuch presents as fact the idea that remedying racial gerrymandering requires racial discrimination.

If I say something happened "the other day" that can mean any time between 1990 and yesterday

you fucked around and now the Episcopalians are doing memes. are you happy now. are you

my aunt was cussing me out for playing explicit music @ the family function 🤭

They’re testing our resolve to speak out against illegal military acts overseas to see if we will resist illegal military acts at home.

ICE arrested comedian Robby Roadsteamer for singing a parody of Rod Stewart’s “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” in a Jeffrey Epstein the Giraffe costume outside their facility. He sings “If you hate brown people / and you are a Nazi” and ICE thugs grab him and drag him into detention. No violence—just speech.

🚨 *Breaking News* Robby Roadsteamer has been detained by ICE Portland after singing Rod Stewart with the Portland Frog! We need your help! Please support Robby's campaign and lawyer fees at robbyroadsteamer.com link on bio 💙🦒🦒🦒

A new study shows what we know: Journalism is failing on trans rights coverage. 70% of stories about Trump’s executive orders affecting trans people didn’t quote trans people. They’re talking ABOUT trans people not with them. Story / study here: www.transjournalists.org/tja-bmsg-exe...

you cannot remedy racism without focusing on race. it's asinine to try.

this is today's Supreme Court oral argument on the Voting Rights Act in a nutshell

As a baby lawyer in the Reagan White House, John Roberts was writing memos arguing that violations of the Voting Rights Act should not be "too easy to prove." This is not just any legal issue that happens to come before him. This is his life's work. He just wants to finish what he started.

never trust a white person who refers to Black people as "blacks."

Not to be outdone, the Trump Solicitor General says you have to overturn Thornburg v Gingles, the 1982 precedent upon which all Section 2 claims are evaluated.
