The thing about non-violent resistance is the sheer power of our numbers, distributed power from the grassroots: using our money, our votes, our bodies, our information. There is no leader. There is no single point of failure. The resilience of the movement is self-correcting. Unlike tyranny.

ABC: A non-profit group Humane Borders that has provided emergency water on public lands for over 20 years has just had their federal permits dropped by the feds. The effort has been a friendly cooperative venture up till now.

Michigan, let's make history in nine days.

Trump should be impeached — and real accountability will require more than impeachment.

A speech language pathologist I follow on YouTube thinks he had a focal aware seizure. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Qbj...

NPR "On the Media": A local NPR radio affiliate in Birmingham, Alabama (WBHM) for decades part of the university there is now being told that the station MUST call the "Gulf of Mexico" the "Gulf of America" due to the Gulf of America Act passed by Alabama state. (Not joking)

NPR "On the Media": At a recent gathering for El-Sayed, a young man named "Tommy" tried to question the loyalty of El-Sayed based on his being a Muslim. El-Sayed handled him beautifully. Tommy? A former staff member of conservative Sen Hawley. & With ties to Christian Nationalists.

This is a matter that a congressional investigation could clearly find out what happened.

Leah makes a serious point. IMO this regime is not only concentrating wealth into the hands of a few. With the arrival of AI, in the name of convenience, we may also be handing over our freedoms. Our power of choice. EG with Meta move, our freedom of speech. A day when internet becomes a danger.

France 24: Today Steve Witkoff is reported to have told Putin the following during more discussions about Ukraine: "You talk so much about my president, President Trump, being a humanitarian. You are a humanitarian also, sir, and I salute that, I commend you, and I thank you again." Enough said.

No one in our executive branch seems to know anything about Ukraine's StarShield emergency. The big reveal to me in that U.S. response: No one saying "We'll get on it immediately, top priority", from Trump, Rubio and/or Musk. Not "duh, that ain't MY problem." Sorry Comrades, that doesn't fly.

The White House website: How can Trump write an EO to waive oil sanctions against Putin of the Lyndsey Graham Bill ? Congressional law overrides any executive order ! Because Congress explicitly allows it in the bill. Without that proviso, Trump's EO would be worthless. Again, another bow to Prez.

I honestly don’t know much about El-Sayed, but this is a perfect answer from him. It’s also hilarious that Tommy used to work for Josh Hawley and was paid 250k for influencer marketing AGAINST El-Sayed. They might want to get a refund. What a spectacular backfire. The walk of shame at the end. 🤣

I've been looking at the news covering No Kings "Vote Early" event. Thank you No Kings coalition and all the millions of people in solidarity who made it happen. Peaceful, non-violent, joyous. And as far as I know, not a single arrest or car set on fire. And just as important, we voted!

I guess the reason why GOPs in House are not doing anything more to oppose this IMO illegal waiver of sanctions on Putin is that both houses of Congress are not in session, campaigning now to prove how they are making America great again.

NBC yesterday: The big story that Trump used an exec order to waiver Russia from Congressional sanctions. "Members of Congress are concerned." Concerned? How about challenging Trump to p*ss off, he doesn't have the power? Unless I missed something, his EO is worthless and Congress, weaklings.

Leah Greenberg: No Kings is a deceptively simple statement. It is a statement that in America, power lies at the hands of the people, and we express our power at the ballot box.

America has never had a king. All it’s had was us. Still, some will tell you that showing up on No Kings Day means you hate this country, but they have it exactly backwards. Nobody gets up to march on a Saturday for a country they’ve given up on. You do that for a country you love. (link below)

And this is what Democracy looks like.

"Before the polls changed, before the gradual move of the public away from Trump, there were the efforts of the No Kings organizers. There were the peaceful and patriotic demonstrations of the participants. Before it was fashionable, No Kings was there."

It's already Saturday morning in Japan and people worldwide are saying No Kings!! 🚫 👑

NewsMax: Trump is on record saying that he has the power to pardon himself and his staff. Just one thing wrong with that statement: his power to pardon does not extend to state laws and state court rulings. Take note, Minnesota and New York, especially after 2028 Presidential election.

CNN: Trump at recent rally claimed that Biden caused "real" inflation of 19%, not the actual high of 9.1%. Also claimed that his regime reduced inflation to 1.7% in the last three months. Never happened. So where Trump is now, desperate to believe whatever he says, people will buy. Pathetic.

NewsMax: Trump states during an interview that Zelensky is more difficult to work with than Putin. Well surely! Putin plays the old friend who just ignories what Trump wants while Trump doesn't say a thing. But Zelensky is trying to save his country in the face of a biased, dishonest "mediator".

NO KINGS in the USA! ❌ 👑

LLhan Omar is clearly being smeared for an error that, even if true, compares nothing to the actions of those receiving Presidential pardons for the January 6th attack on the Capitol Compared to the actions of our President himself. But of course, Trump wouldn't pardon her. Remember that.

Lying about Iran having nukes. The Epstein files. J6. Mocking a disabled reporter. Losing allies. Tariffs. A higher cost of living. Thirty-four felony convictions. An exploding national debt. Stormy Daniels. Using taxpayer money for ads. Desecrating national monuments. Vote Blue, or lose America.

So, Omar is in fact the target of an ICE/HIS "investigation". Similar to DOJ attack on Lisa Cook (Federal Reserve) using fake evidence? So it comes down to: 1 What evidence did ICE/HIS present to the judge to obtain the warrant? 2 Did ICE purposely delay requesting the warrant till the midterms?

Zelensky says Ukrainian strikes on Yandex data centers were followed by a noticeable drop in bot activity across social media. “There was less hate, less division, and fewer provocations, because there were fewer bots,” he said, adding that it was “pretty clear” where they came from. #Ukraine

Trump's latest Ukraine-Russia cease fire evidently didn't crumble. It didn't exist in the first place. Like his claim of today's "Golden Age". Exists for him, anyway, but not for the sane.
