"the last breath of the Confederacy" gonna die at midterms

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.

Chilly windy rain turned to sunshine for our protest, then back to rain. Every day is a good day to get up, stand up for democracy, justice, and human rights--More than 3200 people in Hilo, Hawaii agree! 🌸🌸🌸 #NoKings #IndivisibleHawaii #NoDictators

MAGA's commitment to "free speech" was always a smokescreen. They didn't want free speech. They wanted to weaponize the federal government to centrally plan culture with censorship and suppression. We're now at the point where they're comfortable saying the quiet part out loud.

#NOKINGS continues to grow exponentially as more people are hurt by the policies and inane, cruel actions of the Trump regime. This is not left/right, it's Epstein class/the rest of us.

The crowd at today’s #NoKings protest in Orlando is absolutely MASSIVE. It’s much larger than the turnout at the last demonstration in October 2025! 🇺🇸✊

It's a GREAT day to hit the streets to protest the Epstein-Iran war, the cost of gas, rounding up immigrants into concentration camps, and unfettered destruction of democracy. America has served #NOKINGS since 1776! ALL the major networks are broadcasting livestreams around the country!

$8.16/gal for diesel in Hilo. The kind of gas used by the trucks that deliver groceries & goods to the rural communities. The communities where I and most people I know live. Join your nearest No Kings protest this Saturday. You may not agree with everyone there, but you'll have lots in common!!

This EGREGIOUS BETRAYAL of the LGBTQ+ community by @warren.senate.gov needs vigorous pushback NOW.

Move your campaign to a platform with integrity, that isn't supporting the murder of citizens. BOYCOTT.

NEW: GoFundMe strictly bans fundraisers for “the legal defense of financial and violent crimes,” yet is currently running one “to help pay for any legal services” for the ICE agent who killed Renee Nicole Good. Its conflict is not even the least bit contestable.

The Mayor grabbed a tom-tom. He started to smack it. And all over Who-ville, they whooped up a racket. They rattled tin kettles! They beat on brass pans, On garbage pail tops and old cranberry cans! They blew on bazookas and blasted great toots On clarinets, oom-pahs, and boom-pahs, and flutes!
