Republican leaders claim No Kings Day 2.0 is a "hate America" rally. Rubbish. We’re rallying tomorrow because we LOVE America. It's an opportunity for all of us who love this country to express our determination that our nation’s ideals not be crushed by the Trump regime.

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. Let me explain what’s going on.

Mob Boss Politics 101: Deploying the National Guard to yet another an American city and then threatening to jail your political opponents.

This isn’t keeping us safe. We have to reject Trump’s mob boss tactics of threats and intimidation.
President Trump has called for the jailing of Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, both Democrats, for “failing to protect” ICE officers who have been sent to the city.

Chicago Governor JB Pritzker emphasizes that peaceful protesters are welcome, but “federal agents who abuse their position to terrorize Illinoisans and incite violence are not welcome.”

Punishing college students for protesting him.

Pressuring TV networks to fire late night talk show hosts for criticizing him.

Suing newspapers for reporting he doesn’t like.

If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

Remember that every authoritarian action Trump is taking must be understood against the backdrop of his declining popularity.

He feigns strength, but the reality is that he's operating from a place of weakness.

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.
moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot.

one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.
