This is not how wealthy countries are supposed to behave

House #Republicans don’t care how long you have to wait in the airport, as long as we aren’t requiring #ICE to act legally, responsibly, and professionally.

I guess asking for the Constitution and precedent to apply to the king’s brute squads is simply too much.

Republicans have given up on America, and hope that you will, too. See y’all in the streets tomorrow, letting them know that ain’t ever going to happen. Ever.

Trump Live Updates: White House Orders Pay for TSA Workers as House Rejects DHS Funding

The New York Times

" #Fascism expert prof. Erica Chenoweth found that 3.5% of the populace actively organizing is historically sufficient to stop #authoritarian consolidation of power...

If that base believes the despot’s time is up, it won’t want to be on the losing side.

The number is not a hard & fast rule, just a descriptive trend. But it matters here because #NoKings protests build the raw numbers of resisters while training them in organized, peaceful action."

"Reason to Show Up No. 3: Electoral Organizing Infrastructure

No Kings leader Ezra Levin has argued that there’s a direct line between #protest turnout & electoral outcomes...

the Women’s March that followed Trump’s first inauguration led to organizing & an infrastructure that helped power the 2018 blue wave...

And last November’s big Democratic gains in Virginia & New Jersey followed the October 2025 #NoKings 2 rallies... Attendees became organizers—and voters."

"To those who say these #protests don’t matter, here are 4 reasons why they do!

Reason to Show Up No. 1: Bursting the illusion of invincibility

Authoritarians worldwide depend on projecting strength and inducing fear...

But when millions turn out, especially in red states and small towns, it punctures that image and signals that we aren’t intimidated...

It also shows the world that most #Americans now oppose Trump"
