A moment of silence please for #USAID, which is officially shuttered after months of dismantling. Why a moment of silence? Not only for the employees. But also for the estimated 14 MILLION deaths by 2030 predicted without the agency. @altusaid.altgov.info www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

If you’re struggling to feel celebratory this 4th, I feel you. I think that sadness over Thursday’s vote is patriotic. Caring about what happens to “we the people” is patriotic. Grieving falling further short of America’s promise is patriotic. & keeping up the fight is patriotic.

The editorial board of a publication in Sen. Mike Lee's home state of Utah called on him to apologize for his posts about the Minnesota shootings, writing that they “were unacceptable for anyone, let alone from a member of the Senate.”

On June 14th, Arthur Folasa Ah Loo, known as Afa, was tragically killed during the No Kings protest in Salt Lake City, UT. 50501 is deeply saddened by this tragedy. If you are able, please consider donating to cover the immediate financial burdens his family faces. gofundme.com/f/help-laura...

Trevor Lee keeps being obsessed with Salt Lake City. Maybe he should move to our city and run for local office if he’s so interested in our affairs?

The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible

For Dallas protesters: I'm on the Police Oversight Board. If you'd like to file a complaint against an officer for behaving unprofessionally or abusively, let me know and I'll connect you to the right folks. At the same time, if you'd like to commend an officer for being helpful, also let me know.

US Veterans peacefully protesting Trump’s military birthday parade arrested at Capitol Hill. This is the moment a 80+ year old US veteran is taken away in handcuffs for practicing his 1st Amendment right. #3E #NoKings #NoKingsProtests (🎥 @gregjstoker.bsky.social )

If you’re undocumented, don’t march tomorrow. Stay home. Let the rest of us get this one. Solidarity ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼

PSA: If you’re protesting today, turn the biometrics on your phone OFF. No facial recognition, no fingerprint, PASSCODE ACCESS ONLY. Law enforcement can make you unlock your phone with those, but they can’t make you use your passcode. That gives you a case in court should they go that route anyway.

Fantastic turnout in historic Hillsborough, N.C. Nothing but peaceful protest, great speeches, imaginative signs, honking cars, waving flags, and a strong sense of community. @meidastouch.com @aaronparnas.bsky.social #reclaimourflag #NoKingsDays

(1,5) To the uninformed, the mentally lazy, & those who are not bright let me make it easy. Every country in the world has mental health issues, only the United States has a gun violence problem. It was not always this way. It is actually a problem that mostly exists over the past few decades.

I don't really care what the "political consequences" are of fighting for the proposition that *everyone* is entitled to due process before they are removed from the United States and sent to a Salvadoran prison. It's not really a principle if you only adhere to it when it's politically expedient.

The good news is that the constitution provides ways for Congress and the Judiciary to reign in a power-hungry president. The bad news is those people are all scared of him.

Honored to win the Carnegie Fellowship for my project that centers the costs of borders here, in Palestine, & elsewhere & argues that their violence not only dehumanizes those who move against them but erodes the rights of all within the nation that built them 1/ www.carnegie.org/awards/honor...

The US economy is set to lose billions of dollars in revenue in 2025 from a pullback in foreign tourism and boycotts of American products.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

Anyone want to pay for a copy of my marriage certificate (to my ex-husband) or passport renewal so I can vote?? This law passed the house and is with the senate. Good time to call senators and tell them it’s not okay for citizens to have to pay to vote! fivecalls.org www.npr.org/2025/04/13/g...

We heard the rumors. Maybe president panican will declare martial law, maybe he won’t. But do you think this clown car of incompetent sycophantic signal leakers can keep all 300 million of us down? Absolutely not. We will not comply. Here’s some advice from Oliver Kornetzke. Let’s get weird.

I think this is another good time to point out that Trump imposed ZERO tariff on Russia while going after our closest allies. I wonder what Russia was rewarded for
