I urge our nation to use this weekend's No Kings marches as a declaration of independence against the tyranny and lawlessness currently running this country.
Use your voice. ACT PEACEFULLY. Protect yourself and your community.
THERE ARE NO KINGS IN THE UNITED STATES.

He doesn’t follow the law. But, he and all his appointees use it to delay justice. I’m beginning to think we should rewrite the laws to apply justice to everyone, including billionaires and people with power!

In 2020, when I told people that I was building a pro-democracy media outlet, people thought I was kidding.
When I told them that the fight for democracy was the fight of our time, they thought I was being overly dramatic.
Well...here we are.

How much is too much!
Federal agents violently detained a food delivery driver as he emerged from a D.C. coffee shop Saturday morning.
The incident captured on video showed the officers throwing him to the ground and beating him before sweeping him away in an unmarked vehicle. wapo.st/45Egtkc

Not only are ICE bounty hunters, who look more like criminals than law enforcement, abducting people from workplaces & off the street—we’re now seeing they’re being held in private detention centers w/some of the most deplorable conditions imaginable.
REPEAT: people are profiting from this cruelty.

Birthright citizenship is a Constitutional RIGHT. Any attack on it is an attack on us all.
This is an attempt by far-right justices to attack immigrant communities and remove protections from any American who questions Trump.
Your rights are nonnegotiable. We can’t compromise on that basic fact.
