The boiling frog scenario in our military: When does picking up trash become arresting American citizens? The slippery slope from normal deployment to authoritarianism happens in tiny steps most don't notice until it's too late. www.buzzsprout.com/2091620/epis...

Rage Against the Regime was a success! We even got in a paper on the Western Slope. Will post more about many things but need to catch up with my life first. Next rally Labor Day Weekend ... more info to follow www.msn.com/en-us/news/u...

This cause is close to my heart - please sign: sign.moveon.org/petitions/ic...

Keeping up with the Epstein cover-up? Trump and Bondi won't release info now, fired the DOJ atty yesterday in charge of the cases, and Republicans in Congress even refuse to release info. chng.it/trDbX466TG

Interested in volunteering? CORRN is a great Colorado organization with a hotline 1-844-864-8341, manned 24/7. They help immigrants in myriad ways - such as responding to raids, deportations. They have been around for numerous years! www.coloradorapidresponsenetwork.com

Saw George Retes interviewed last night. Not only is he a disabled vet, but they detained him for THREE DAYS. An American /citizen and a vet. ICE is out of control. www.msn.com/en-us/news/c...

I am behind on posts ... so be prepared for a lot of them! www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Well - thanks to the Big Beautiful Bill and giving ICE a budget larger than the Marines (or so they say), Colorado gets to have some ICE facilities. Check out the locations - and check out the corporations while you are at it! Sad - so sad. www.aclu.org/press-releas...

Join us on July 17!!!!!!!

These veterans were arrested in D.C. for daring to ask why the Republican Party is ok cutting veterans benefits while funding El Taco Gordo’s $45M birthday parade. #VetsAgainstTrump #NoKings

Incredible. Hate removed this incredible assistance for Veterans.

An incredible video montage from #NoKings. For those of you too young to recognize the voice in the background: President John Kennedy giving his 1961 inaugural address. Listen - one of his most famous requests to Americans is at the end. We did this yesterday. Thx @kellyscaletta.bsky.social

Now saying 12.1 million people stood up for America!!!! Love the song.

A must watch video. Not only does @meidastouch.com show why DC parade a failure but they show who the "corporate sponsors" were for OUR TAX PAID dictator parade for #taco's birthday parade. AND point out how #NoKings a stunning success. 14 Jun 2025 goes down in history! youtu.be/TJtnLOky0-Q?...

THANK YOU @gabemuller.bsky.social. And we appreciate you coming to support America!

We would like to thank the Colorado Springs Police Department for their cooperation and assistance. Their presence was welcome and very lowkey. Although we may be wrong, there were no altercations between the peaceful demonstrators and the police or any observers. Again, Colorado Springs ROCKS!

It was a great #No.Kings Day in Colorado Springs. Opining between 9 and 12000 AMERICANS and that does NOT include all of the vehicles passing by non-stop on 4 lanes of traffic from 1130 ish to 3 ish --honking, waving, cheering, waving signs, cheering. Colorado Springs ROCKS! More info tomorrow.

LOVE THIS....gives me chills! Listen and get ready!

Excellent reminder. No matter how low things may appear right now, our #NoKings protests all over the Country, and Colorado and in Colorado Springs will remain peaceful.

Lezzz do this … Resist 🚫 👑 #NoKings #NoKingsDay

Advice for the day! June 14, 2025. #nokings rally near you!

From a dear comrade who was kind enough to let me share their video. Veterans stage a sit-in on the US Capitol steps and say, “Military off our streets!” Hell yeah!

Our Marines were put in a horrible situation in LA against their will. They detained someone - and that someone was a Veteran. And that Veteran is willing to essentially forgive those Marines. That is who we are as Veterans. It is up to Veterans to speak up for the Active Duty. Our opinion.

One of those arrested is below.

Well Vets. It has started. Arresting Veterans for protesting the Dictator Parade in DC. Maybe they deserved it???? www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Thanks to you all we are now a global event! Thanks again to 50501International and our fellow Americans abroad! 👏👏🙌🙌🪧✌️☮️🌎We are everywhere! Nokings.org ⬅️ events near you ‼️👀🌐💙 #NoKingsDay #NoTyrants #the50501movement #kickouttheclowns #50501Activists #UnitedWeStand #wearetheflood #GoodTrouble

Quite an excellent piece ... please read, share, and somehow go to a #NoKings event near you on Jun 14 and peacefully express your concerns.

Some #NoKings rally in Colorado Springs. And REMEMBER, you can have fun protecting our Democracy ... saw line dancers and bubble blowers in LA ... as long as it is peaceful, be innovative.

The federal court order returning NG C2 to the Cal Gov was appealed; the 9th Circuit stayed the ruling until Jun 17. If you believe, as Veterans, that federal military forces should not be involved in peaceful protests, join a PEACEFUL #NoKings rally tomorrow, Jun 14. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Ready for a #NoKings rally? Well, here is our Flyer for Colorado Springs. We will have a great time creating a MILE LONG protest; we also have some folks that will try to create the HIGHEST PROTEST IN US!!! Stay Tuned! Pack water, snacks, signs, and PATRIOTISM and join us for a PEACEFUL RALLY!

Quite an excellent piece ... please read, share, and somehow go to a #NoKings event near you on Jun 14 and peacefully express your concerns.

While Trump wastes millions on a military parade in DC, we're mobilizing everywhere else to show that organized people power is stronger than his authoritarian aspirations. app.sosha.ai/s/gPkSv4aF

Thoughts? We think it is important to show our resistance v- come out on June 14 #NoKings Day.

Awaiting the Court's decision about the legality of federalizing National Guard in California. This is a synopsis of some comments by the Judge in court today: thehill.com/homenews/534...

Excellent reminder. No matter how low things may appear right now, our #NoKings protests all over the Country, and Colorado and in Colorado Springs will remain peaceful.

Deploying CA National Guard to LA protests without the Governor's request is an abuse of power and attack on our constitutional rights. So is threatening to send US Marines against civilians. We condemn this order from the Trump Administration and demand it be rescinded immediately. #50501vets

FIRST ON MSNBC: "I introduced myself and said I had a question. Look, they said I wasn't wearing my pin — my polo says 'United States Senate.'" Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., speaks about forcible removal from Department of Homeland Security press conference.

"[Troops] have told friends and family members they are deeply unhappy about the assignment and worry their only meaningful role will be as pawns in a political battle they do not want to join." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The Department of Homeland Security is lying. @padilla.senate.gov identified himself. Urging everyone to go out and righteously and peacefully exercise your freedom of speech and assembly. That’s how we take back our country.

It will indeed.

No words. If you have not seen the videos of the senior Senator from California being manhandled, placed on the ground and handcuffed at a press conference being held in California by Noem, find and watch. All because he appeared to ask questions about what was happening in LA.

Been under the weather. We had a small but powerful Vet gathering last Friday night and we reaffirmed our dedication to the Constitution and the oaths we took; we learned more about D-Day history; and honored military families. Taps was especially powerful to honor D-Day! Next up is THIS:

I will be there! @719progressivevets.bsky.social mobilize.us/s/SajyvW
