Everybody is looking forward to the next No Kings Day in the spring. The official date will be announced once we land this with the full No Kings coalition, but trust us that it’s coming. And we can’t wait, either. βŒπŸ‘‘

If you don’t have one yet, you can come to our office at 7016 N Clark Street and pick up a whistle (and a variety of other necessities) free of charge.

β€˜You don’t have to do it alone’: how US cities are helping each other resist ICE

β€œThere is something going on here, with all of these cities coming together and protecting our democracy."

From LA to Charlotte, organizers are learning from others’ strategies to protect residents amid federal crackdowns.

LISTEN to Gov. J.B. Pritzker warning:

Authoritarians thrive on your silence.

Be loud for America.

The Strategic Logic of the No Kings Protests By Leah Greenberg, Indivisible Co-Founder and Co-Executive Director

For We the People to halt Trump’s autocratic breakthrough, millions of Americans need to feel like we’re part of something bigger. We need to understand that we’re part of a movement. We need to feel like we will win.

That’s where tomorrow’s #NoKings Day comes in.

I wonder how the senior senator from Minnesota is going to find a compromise here.

Will Trump force America to break up? He seems determined to try.

After today, unclear to me exactly why California would want to stay in the Union.

On Democracy, Liberated Energy, and the Perfect Moment Working on Winning the Climate Fight

I hate to say it, but the hideous attack on Sen. Padilla came at just the right moment. If you had any doubt about why No Kings Day was so necessary...

Is This the Moment That We Became a Fascist Country? Not If We Say No! | Common Dreams Every decent American looking at the images of Sen. Padilla pinned to the ground should think: β€œThat’s not how it’s supposed to work.”

We are now just a few hours away from what may be the biggest outburst of antiauthoritarian sentiment in America sinceβ€”I don’t know. Maybe the uprising against the Intolerable Acts in 1774, writes @billmckibben.bsky.social: www.commondreams.org/opinion/padi...

40 Third Act Oregon members and friends gathered Sunday at the Wildwood Tap in Cedar Mills. The theme of the gathering was Resilience; we shared our personal resilience role models, socialized and strategized. Many stayed to write postcards to Wisconsin voters on the upcoming election there.

This is far worse than the contempt of court language in the House bill. It SHOULD come out in the Byrd bath, but Republicans could choose to ignore the parliamentarian. Very scary attack on checks and balances by the Senate GOP.

ONE WEEK UNTIL NO KINGS DAY!

At this time next Saturday, we will be taking to the streets across the country. While Trump wastes millions on a birthday parade in DC, we’re showing up everywhere else to say NO KINGS.

There are nearly 2,000 events planned. Join us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE.

Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpasβ€”and the community was not having it.

Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

sitting with this quote in these times of personal and political turmoil:
β€œArt thou in darkness? Mind it not, for if thou dost it will feed thee more. But stand still, and act not, and wait in patience, til light arises out of darkness and leads thee” James Naylor
As an activist, this seems hard.
