Well, I have my T-shirt and I have my commitment to the U.S. Constitution, but, because of a temporary injury, I can't go. I just want the people out protesting today to know that your "Aunt Tifa" supports you and will be at the next #NoKings protest. And the one after that! And, the one...

Republicans are trying to give their rich donors more tax cuts while your health care costs double.
"Republicans shut down the government because they care more about their rich donors' tax cuts than about your health care." Below this, two framed images contrast the financial effects:

Left Frame: Shows a photo of a diverse family of four hugging outdoors. Text above reads "Family of four making $75,000/yr". Text on a green banner at the bottom reads: "pay $3,368 more for health coverage 2026".

Right Frame: Shows a photo of three wealthy individuals, including Mark Zuckerberg. Text above reads "Person making $1 million/yr". Text on a red banner at the bottom reads: "pay $97,000 less in taxes 2027".

500 hospitals, nursing homes, and clinics are at risk of closing because of the Trump-Republican big, ugly bill. Many are in rural areas. Meanwhile, Republican-held US House districts and states Trump won in 2024 rely more on ACA coverage. They're selling out their own voters.

As Trump and Starmer are conveyed in a horse-drawn carriage and Starmer says “The British people love you, Mr. Trump”. The crowd is painted onto the fence lining the street, and behind the facade an angry protest crowd holds signs saying “Stop Trump” “Rapist in the White House” “Go Home” “You’re Toxic”

Don't buy the canard that this is about Charlie Kirk. Abusing state power to lean on corporate leaders and get Jimmy Kimmel off the air because he told jokes about the president and made him feel bad was always the plan.
The word is, and it's a strong word at that, Jimmy Kimmel is NEXT to go in the untalented Late Night Sweepstakes and, shortly thereafter, Fallon will be gone. These are people with absolutely NO TALENT, who were paid Millions of Dollars for, in all cases, destroying what used to be GREAT Television. It's really good to see them go, and I hope I played a major part in it!

It’s happening. The takedown of Jimmy Kimmel is likely the start of a campaign to use the murder of Charlie Kirk as a pretext to use the power of the White House to wipe out Trump’s critics and his political opponents. But we aren’t powerless. We can mobilize and organize. Now.

This is simply untenable. There is no way forward with media and political classes captured by the right. Every time someone commits a crime you have to pray it's not an undesirable or it's purge time, then when it turns out to be themselves again they just shrug and wait for the next one.
