Don Lemon, a journalist protesting ICE, was arrested before anyone on the Epstein list. If you’re still confused about who the law is for, you’re not paying attention.
Trump has to rush his consolidation of power before he’s debilitatingly unpopular. That’s what authoritarians do. What we do is organize massive, peaceful resistance that unifies the opposition, retakes power, and ushers in an era of accountability & reform: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings
Trump is escalating his assault on American cities. His attempt to deploy National Guard troops to Portland and Chicago are unbelievably frightening. But they’re also a sign that Trump knows he’s rapidly losing time and popular support.
President Trump says he would invoke the Insurrection Act 'if it was necessary'
Trump said he would consider invoking the Insurrection Act to deploy the military into cities if courts block his deployment of National Guard troops.

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act. I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. It’s unfolding very rapidly. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-plan
This is a massive, history making abuse of your power. It will define your legacy and one day you will come to regret punishing free speech and trying to destroy democracy.
A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.
Virginia’s election will be the biggest test of our ability to out-organize MAGA at the ballot box since Trump retook office — and its consequences will be felt far beyond VA. There are so many ways you can plug into our organizing work, regardless of where you live: indivisible.org/virginia2025
No Kings on Oct 18 is going to be the largest peaceful protest in American history. The only way to protect our freedom of speech is to exercise our freedom of speech. Get to planning in your community asap. nokings.org
Chris Murphy@chrismurphyct.bsky.social · 11mo agoIt’s happening. The takedown of Jimmy Kimmel is likely the start of a campaign to use the murder of Charlie Kirk as a pretext to use the power of the White House to wipe out Trump’s critics and his political opponents. But we aren’t powerless. We can mobilize and organize. Now.
Yes + Jeffries. The "smart" short-term play for companies right now is to collude with the regime. Congressional leaders should be making it clear how stupid and self-destructive that will be in the medium-term.
Noah Berlatsky@nberlat.bsky.social · 11mo agoSchumer needs to say that when Ds take congress they will hold hearings on whether Disney needs to be broken up since it is essentially bribing Trump for preferential treatment re mergers.

Stop the Assault on Our Freedom of Speech ⭑ 5 Calls
Despite Trump signing an executive order “restoring freedom of speech” on Day 1 of his term, his administration has repeatedly taken action to silence …

David Frum on Jimmy Kimmel: "This is not cancel culture because it's not culture. It's state repression. It's an order from the government. Here is the script, you must read, if you do not read it, you will be taken off the air."
It’s crucial to remember-Susan Monarez was appointed CDC Director by Trump She’s not a Democrat they can claim has some agenda She’s MAGA And she’s saying that RFK, Jr is ignoring science about vaccines Which will cause more epidemics like the measles outbreak in Texas So more children will die
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 11mo agoMonarez: "Kennedy demanded 2 things of me that were were inconsistent w/ my oath of office. He directed me to commit in advance to approving every ACIP recommendation regardless of the scientific evidence. He also directed me to dismiss career officials responsible for vaccine policy without cause"
Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

NPR@npr.org · 11mo agoMost Jewish Americans disapprove of the Trump administration withholding funds from colleges to address anti-Jewish sentiment, according to a new survey.
Over 6 years ago, the House first passed my Enhanced Background Checks Act to close the Charleston Loophole that allowed a white supremacist to obtain the gun he used to murder nine worshipers at Emanuel AME Church on June 17, 2015. I'll never stop fighting to pass this law.
Padilla: I was forced to the ground, first on my knees and then flat on my chest. And as I was handcuffed and marched down a hallway repeatedly asking, why am I being detained? Not once did they tell me why. I pray you never have a moment like this

However unsure we may be about what the ultimate outcome will be, we may rest morally certain that Donald Trump has absolutely no idea what he’s doing from one moment to the next. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/17/u...
