We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community.

The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution.

About two thousand people showed up for No Kings @50501movement.bsky.social in Roanoke VA this afternoon: at both Washington Park and the intersections of Orange Ave and Gainsboro Rd. Fabulous, creative work! So much more enthusiasm from drivers than at any of the previous No Kings events.

Let us in. Hold ICE accountable. Tear down the fence.

This is what we are demanding from the Broadview ICE facility, and nothing less.

Our leaders can decide whether they stand with the people or with ICE. There is no middle ground.

Apparently this is called "détournement poetry". Whatever it's called it's one of the most impressive and unnerving uses of poetry I've ever heard.

85% of Gaza is on the brink of death due to starvation. Israel could let aid in at any moment. And some people (like these men tried to do with me on Friday) are still trying to justify this atrocity.

There is no justification. This could stop at any moment. End the blockade now.

AOC: Being taken is wrong, it is illegal, it is a violation of his First Amendment rights, it is an affront to every American, and we will not allow—and will continue to resist—the politicization and the continued political persecution that ICE is engaged in.

A thousand more thanks for the Congresswoman from the Bronx and Queens. No kings. But yes to this queen.
I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.

There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.

They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.
