The U.S. is preparing for the largest protest against Trump — the “No Kings” movement will span over 1,800 cities across all 50 states and even beyond the country.

The rallies coincide with a military parade in Washington, which Trump is organizing for his birthday on Saturday, June 14.

I don't like "resist" because it omits the outcome. I want to defend our essential liberties and storied mode of government, and help to remind people what it means to be a responsible citizen. Some of those who voted a traitor into our nation's highest executive office aren't beyond help.

The most striking thing about the LA protests is how many people just dropped everything to show up and yell at federal agents. There are people in suits, and carrying dogs, and wearing flip flops or bike helmets.

These are not people who planned to do this today. But there they are.

The Euromaidan protests in Kyiv started small but diverse too. A very heartwarming video from 2013 - and heartrending too, given what these people have been made to endure by Muscovy and the Kremlin crime syndicate.

Elected Republicans are coalescing around the talking point that CBO's tax cut estimates are complete fiction and that tax cuts pay for themselves.

Well, CBO's 2018 and 2019 revenue estimates - which included the previous year's TCJA - were ... 99.5% accurate. 🧵

"One of the reasons for Russia’s social malaise is this diabolical cynicism on the part of the authorities, who peddle a completely fake reality. Russia’s citizens do not rise up against this cynicism. They withdraw into their own shells, becoming defenceless, wordless and inhibited. ⏬

Here is Justice Antonin Scalia making clear that Congressman Donalds is wildly wrong.

Completely agree with @billybinion.bsky.social that it is an embarrassment that so many members of Congress appear to know so little about (or are happy to willfully distort) the foundations of our constitution.

Pirro is the 23rd former Fox employee Trump has named to his administration.

She's wildly unqualified to be DC's top prosecutor and was been described by her former executive producer as a "reckless lunatic."

Gonna thread some of her lowlights.
Trump just appointed Fox host Jeanine Pirro as interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. Yes, Jeanine Pirro.

The week after Trump's election, I wrote my school a plan for what to do if ICE raided us. I was told that "they aren't allowed to do that." And now look where we are. I hope someone dusts off my plan soon!
Parents at my friends' kid's school are having to form a human chain to keep out masked agents of the US govt.

Masked. Agents. Of the US <*OUR*> Government.

What the fuck? How is this okay??
DC restaurants are on alert but ICE is also targeting schools. There is currently ICE presence at the Mondo Verde school on P Street -- parents are forming a human chain and plan to do so for the rest of the week. If you're in DC and able to, they would like help

I think something that needs to be on the agenda once sanity is restored to the US government is 1) kill qualified immunity and 2) criminal penalties for federal agents or officials who grossly violate rights.

Someone who does this should legitimately fear it will put them in prison.
NEW: A federal judge raised alarm Friday that the Trump administration appeared to have deported a 2-year-old U.S. citizen to Honduras with "no meaningful process" — even as her father was fighting to keep her in the country.

A very old Soviet joke, from an especially dark time:

Foxes are fleeing the USSR in droves.
Q: Why are you running away?
Fox: The Soviets passed a new law that they’re going to arrest all camels.
Q: But you’re foxes!
Fox: Yeah, why don’t *you* try proving to the NKVD that you’re not a camel.
If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.
