There are now more than 2000 #NoKings events scheduled for all 50 states, DC, Puerto Rico, Guam and about a dozen foreign countries.
RSVPs are skyrocketing, which is particularly worth noting because a lot of people are very understandably dead set against RSVPing.
We will not back down.

Cannot express enough how much what happened at that meeting three weeks ago has changed things on the ground.
Courthouse arrests started within days, then check-in arrests. Worksite raids, once rare, began happening daily. Detention has skyrocketed over capacity. People are going missing.

Really good WSJ article on ICE escalations over recent weeks including Miller's visit to ICE national HQ where he demanded Home Depot raids. www.wsj.com/us-news/prot...
The White House Marching Orders That Sparked the L.A. Migrant Crackdown
After deportations fell short of President Trump’s campaign promises, federal agents summoned to a meeting in Washington were told to “just go out there and arrest illegal aliens.”

Dear New Jersey Democratic primary voters:
Vote for Mikie Sherrill. My house has cast our three votes for her. She can stop Josh Gottheimer who has a moderate record and would not be a very good Democrat. She is the tactical choice to keep New Jersey blue.

Chicago crowd tonight was *incredible*. Important for everyone to be spending time with each other right how. It may not feel like it right now, but we’re gonna win.
Went with my son to @chrislhayes.bsky.social book event tonight (Chicago). It felt like a social movement was born, and he led it. People just stood up and clapped forever. When he said, "Don't give up," I falsely denied having tears in my eyes. Thank you. Can't wait to read THE SIRENS' CALL.
