There are over 700 events planned for No Kings Day. As Trump defies courts, ignores the Constitution and punishes dissenters, all while he and his friends get even richer, June 14 needs to be our biggest and most widespread day of protest yet.

Turns out the “deep state” wasn’t the Federal workers, but the politicians and the financers who bought them.

Can we admit our democracy has not been working for a long time? Campaign finance corruption, poor voter turnout, Congress unable to pass a budget, dependence on executive orders for “law making.” Time for the 2nd Republic of the USA. We can do better than what we have now!

@mariners.com You’ve changed managers, stadiums, owners, and oh so many players with the same results. Maybe it is time to change your name and/or the mascot. There has to be a curse.

First they came for people I feared and I was thrilled. Then they came for people who are different and who make me uncomfortable and I was relieved. Then they came for people I disagree with and I was righteous. Then they came for people who were just in the way and I couldn’t move fast enough.

Trump, who wanted the Central Park 5 executed after being acquited, wants us to trust him when he says the people he denied due process and illegally deported to El Salvador are “very bad people.” I don’t think so!

There’s no one around to stop Trump from declaring martial law and suspending the Constitution or even an election.
Trump Wants to Be President for Life—and He’s Already Preparing for It
No, he’s not “joking” when he portrays himself as a king and muses about staying in office past 2028. Just look at everything he’s done this month.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:
-FDA, which oversees Neuralink
-FAA, which oversees SpaceX
-USAID, which probed Starlink
-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.
"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.
You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?
Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.
You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Those bonehead Republicans managed to convince their base that trans women in sports was a huge issue—without showing a damn shred of data.
They never drop facts because that would wreck their narrative. Look at these numbers…
Less than 10 trans athletes out of 510,000 NCAA athletes nationwide.
