Hard to take seriously the red-white-and-blue rhetoric of freedom on a 4th of July where the US president has cut off aid to a democracy fighting for its independence against ferocious attack by a foreign tyrant.

Wilmington, NC showed up and showed out for #NoKings so damn proud of my fellow North Carolinians for standing up for Democracy. In America we don’t do Kings.

No Kings
On June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. ...

Obedience won’t save US. Compliance won’t protect US.
Tyranny doesn’t reward submission—it feeds on it.
Stand firm.

Bill Gates pledged to give an additional $200 billion to charity during the next 20 years- effectively spending down his personal fortune.
Of Elon Musk, Gates said
“The picture of the world’s richest man killing the world’s poorest children is not a pretty one,”

This isn't about dolls.
The prices of essential goods are rising due to tariffs.
Small businesses are scrambling. Dock workers and truckers face layoffs.
Meanwhile, Trump calls this a "good thing" even as his own staff hoards supplies.
He's a mad king detached from reality.

The White House Easter Egg Roll is sponsored by Amazon, Google, and Meta — who are all being sued by the federal government for antitrust violations.
It's the first time the event has had corporate sponsors.
Everything is for sale under Trump — and Big Tech wants to cash in.

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today.
This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

The level of disdain republicans have for the spaces, programs, and people that matter is disturbing. The level of worship they have for the richest Americans is even more disturbing. We deserve better.
