US Veterans peacefully protesting Trump’s military birthday parade arrested at Capitol Hill. This is the moment a 80+ year old US veteran is taken away in handcuffs for practicing his 1st Amendment right. #3E #NoKings #NoKingsProtests (🎥 @gregjstoker.bsky.social )

Congress shall make no law… abridging… the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

I will serve my in role tomorrow, as I have dozens of times at events large and small, along with thousands of NLG Legal Observers across the country.

Reporters need to stop feeding at Elon's trough: it allows them to ignore what people think in favor of chewing on MAGA's cud.

What the polls say:

*Americans split about protesters, but oppose Trump's response more

*Trump's approval ratings on immigration and deportations slide into the negative

If you need to explain it to anyone who doesn't get that the GOP only cares about themselves and their rich friends.

⚠ Update: Live metrics show the #Gaza Strip internet blackout has now passed 48 hours; the disruption is the longest sustained telecoms disruption in recent months, with most residents unable to contact the outside world since 11 June

@JustinAzoff It SURE IS, man. Thanks for using the word, though; I'd meant to and forgot and now people who aren't already aware get to learn about it.

Defense attorney Shabazz says “snitch #1” is undocumented, has been deported 5 times, was serving a federal sentence until recently — and didn’t cooperate until Kilmar was famous and the federal agents offered him leniency. Prosecutor asks him to stop calling them “snitches”

In milder "everything is fucked" news, get a load of this:

Last week, and over the past i-don't-even-know-how-many-months, an 8-pack of JIF "to-go" peanut butter cups, at 1.5 oz each, were sold at my grocery store for $3.79 (first image is proof of this and is thus un-alt-texted, because the description is right here).

This week, I am told I can pay the same price for an 8-pack of 1.1 oz cups instead (second image, similarly un-alt-texted and for the same reason).

That's 3.2 oz less - more than TWO OF THE ORIGINAL SIZE CUPS - for the same goddamn price.

Fuckheads.

Fighting fascism is kind of like doing improv comedy.

You don't do it to be cool & the name of the game is "Yes AND".

Please don't tell people that peaceful protesting is useless or that they have to remain non-violent.

This is an all-hands on deck and whatever might work situation. Any energy you spend telling someone not to do something is not being spent stopping fascists.

I have a lot of issues with Gavin Newsom but he is calling out Trump in a way other major leaders aren’t and if he causes Trump to have a stroke I will buy him a latte

Lovely. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Trump’s second term is being documented without writing down the words..

The White House has pulled official transcripts, leaving future historians (and the public) in the dark.
