In America, we don’t have kings – it’s kind of our whole thing. 🚫👑

Millions turned out for No Kings in June— one of the largest protest days in U.S. history. On October 18th, we’ll be even louder, stronger, and we won’t stop here.

RSVP here:
No Kings
As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power…

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

This is a blatant violation of 1st Amendment rights.

Gooding v. Wilson 1972 and Lewis v. City of New Orleans 1974 established that criticizing law enforcement is protected free speech. This woman posed no threat to the agent, aside from a bruised ego.

If he can’t handle that he can’t do the job.

The interaction illustrates how federal law enforcement officers do use aggressive tactics against protesters who yell and needle officers but don’t appear to present clear physical threats.

The U.S. social safety net was constructed around ideas of "deservingness." For single moms, that often meant additional hoops to jump through. Analysis on how poor single moms rely on benefits programs, & what the reconciliation bill would mean for them:

Single Moms Will Bear the Brunt of the Republicans’ Cruel Budget Cuts
Whenever lawmakers start carving up benefit programs, women raising children alone are always the first to feel the pain. Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” follows in that grim tradition.

We are facing a serious threat to democracy, law, and liberty. The abuse of prosecutorial power to intimidate, investigate, and detain political opponents is upon us. It is a constitutional crisis. I will keep speaking out until public outrage overflows. I just hope it’s not too little, too late.

>>I was with a public health professor from [major university] last weekend and he said that NIH is now euthanizing whole cohorts of animals from animal studies because there is nobody around to feed them<<

Great work.

6/6 Part 5
So I reached out to my local Indivisible coordinator, who said they didn’t have the infrastructure or logistics to manage that. She then suggested I try to reach out to the national organizers and see if they have someone working transportation at scale?
Anybody know anyone?

6/6 Part 4
$180 - Greyhound 6/5 depart 6:55am-arrive 6/6 at 2:30 am
6/6 depart 11:55pm-arrive 6/7 at 8:05pm.
(nearly 19 hours of waiting: 11.5 hours 2:30am-2pm and 7 hours 5pm-midnight on the streets of DC). Grueling.

6/6 issue Part 3

$296 - Amtrak, would have to leave 6/4 return 6/8 (requiring 2 nights on a train and one in a hotel). Expensive and grueling. Cost listed is train only.
