Life comes at you fast

Today: Anti-Trump protesters marched in Washington, all the way to the White House—peaceful, defiant, rejecting his occupation of D.C.

In response, many people have started using coded language (referring to protests as “music festivals,” “community picnics,” or even “art walks”) to avoid censorship. Remember to get creative with your wording.

Across social media (TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook) you might notice a new trend: posts that include the word “protest” are often suppressed by platform algorithms.

Ukraine, if you’re listening, please hack into the Epstein Files

Zohran not letting the name-calling deter him Reminder: To them anything that helps regular people instead of corporations and the rich is “socialism”

Protests planned across Alaska in solidarity with Ukraine, ahead of Trump-Putin summit, reports @corinne-smith.bsky.social of @alaskabeacon.com: alaskabeacon.com/2025/08/14/p...

Occurs to me that Trump's entire regime consolidation strategy is to persuade everyone through displays of force that the regime is already consolidated and there's no point in resisting. Which I don't think will work, but also shows how important public acts of noncompliance are.

Texas House Democrats: What happens next is entirely up to Greg Abbott. After deliberation among our caucus, we have reached a consensus: Texas House Democrats refuse to give him a quorum to pass his racist maps that silence more than 2 million Black and Latino Texans...

Last night DC neighbors showed up at a police checkpoint at 14th & V ST. NW with handwritten signs warning drivers to avoid the block. After realizing that the community was successfully diverting all traffic, agents packed up the checkpoint and left. #WeKeepUsSafe

UPDATE: Andry is reportedly free after Trump sent him to an 125 days in an El Salvadoran prison for no reason, without due process, because of his “mom” and “dad” tattoos.

If you’re against ICE building concentration camps you should be against Israel building concentration camps.

Freedom from kings. Freedom from fascism. Power to the people forever. ♥️ Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸

BREAKING: anti-Trump protest today in Columbus, Ohio.

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home. Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

Free America Weekend Starts Today! It's offical - there's a #FreeAmericaWeekend event in every state. This weekend is your opportunity to get together at picnics and potlucks and engage in acts of freedom.

Senator Carlos Guillermo Smith Legislators have the statutory authority make unannounced visits to state run facilities, but the DeSantis regime is REFUSING us entry into 'Alligator Alcatraz'.

Congressman Derrick Van Orden of Wisconsin’s Third Congressional District has deleted this tweet.

July Fourth—Independence Day—is the original No Kings Day. Just saying.

People living under fascism didn’t survive by giving up joy—they protected it. They held onto the things fascism tried to erase: art, friendship, jokes, rituals, language, memory. Not as escapism but as resistance. As proof they were still human. Joy isn’t frivolous under fascism. It’s strategic.

Watch ‪@garrisonhayes.bsky.social‬ explore the connections between America’s culture wars, rising political violence, and the horrifying assassination of former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman—and reflect on the alarming speed with which the country moved on.

Humanity going backwards.

Mohammed El-Kurd’s guide to responding to the most ridiculous anti-Palestinian smears.

⚡️NEW: In Tennessee, Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social has introduced the “STOP AMERICAN GESTAPO ACT” — requiring law enforcement not to wear masks, and to ID themselves. As Blackburn, Johnson, Sexton and the GOP try to codify masked vigilantism, Jones moves to ban it to protect the public.

Imagine if she thought everyone deserved the rights she demanded.

Zohran says he’s not a communist and Trump is only calling him that to distract from his betrayal of the working class

ZOHRAN ON THE @RepOgles RACISM: “It’s been difficult to deal with the regular and repeated smears and slander. It’s sad.”

The most consequential Speaker in state history.

I dunno if like three to five times as many random people were in the streets to protest as there are total members of the entire military (active duty plus reserves) I might make that more than a one-day story instead of the limp, sad-trombone parade he forced on a few of those military members

The people together can'tbe defeated. It's not too late to keep things from getting worse. We all have a duty in our daily lives to make people realize we are in the midst of a crisis that can still be beat. Our country will be battered and beaten once these people fall but we can build anew.

AG Ellison staying at the No Kings rally despite being on the assassin’s hit list to tell the crowd to not be stopped, to keep marching is exactly what I needed in this moment.

Nice when the data lines up with lived experience. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/no-kings-d...

There are a couple of kids in my nephews's class who weren't born in the US, and the class has decided (w/o teacher input) that if ICE shows up in they're all going to pretend not to speak English. 10yos reinventing "I am Spartacus" because they don't want their friends to get disappeared.

Today in Boston. Over a million people turned out. Even the drone couldn't get it all. #NoKingsDay #BostonStrong #ICEProtest

Keep protesting. Keep going, everyone.

🤏🤏🤏🤏🤏🤏🤏🤏🤏🤏🤏🤏🤏🤏🤏🤏 *squinting* We had more people at the Lincoln Memorial for our Stand Up for Science rally on March 7th! #StandUpforScience #FailedBirthdayParade
