The map for No Kings Day just went live with nearly 600 peaceful protests planned across all 50 states (including the flagship event in the Twin Cities).

March 28 will be the largest day of protest in American history.

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis

Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today.

We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

this is exactly why I am absolutely not willing to overlook anyone who was once “advocating for ending USAID” as merely committing a little oopsie-daisy-booboo, by the way
The Project 2025 author is using millions of dollars in USAID money for his own security detail.

It is estimated that 762,000 people have *already died* as a result of Elon Musk and Russell Vought’s obscene murder of USAID, including more than 500,000 children.

Vought is a mass murderer.

Keep in mind that a deranged, but still empowered Trump could empty out every federal prison with his essentially unlimited pardon power. He could pardon every single appointee within the government. Etc.

Centuries of devastation do not matter to billionaires today.
Antarctica isn’t one big tipping point.

New research maps 18 separate ice basins, each with its own threshold. Some in West Antarctica may tip at just ~1–2C warming (i.e close to today’s levels).

Cross the line, and you commit to m’s of sea-level rise over centuries
