Prime Minister Keir Starmer of Britain, on convicted felon Trump’s profanity-laced social media post threatening to wipe out “a whole civilization,“ said “…they are not words I would use — ever use — because I come at this with our British values and principles.”

I hope to see more faith leaders set an example #NoKings
If you want to understand why the #democratic party is on a trajectory flirting with failure and what we need to turn the ship around, listen to Dustin Guastella on #populism, critical #progressive insights we can't ignore unless we want a permanent #maga majority in congress #nokings
Liars! Liars! Thanks to them, rhe world is on fire! #NoKings
“Let’s fight for the America we love. Are you with us?” — Bruce Springsteen #NoKings
The rule of law, who would have thought that we would see an executive branch and a political party so dangerously focused on defying the Constitution, along with trampling due process, neutering Congress, and ignoring the will of the people? Make your vote count in the midterms while it still can.
The issue over the ballroom is a perfect metaphor for everything that troubles this administration.
“A normal Supreme Court would recognize this parade of terribles and the unconstitutionality of this case and rule to preserve birthright citizenship. But [the] Supreme Court […] is currently occupied by a majority of Republican party hacks.” — @katelynburns.com #SCOTUS #BirthrightCitizenship
KOSA and the KIDS Act are huge censorship threats. Why must we oppose sunsetting Section 230? “We need policies that address corporate abuse without kneecapping the ability of front-line activists to use social media to change the world.” — @evangreer.bsky.social Director @fightforthefuture.org
When faith leaders engage in the political issues that make these protests necessary, we know we will prevail in this struggle for the soul of our nation. Rev. Dr. Debra Haffner, FUUSN, is an inspiration and model that more faith leaders must follow if we are to build a more perfect union.
What an amazing and inspiring local edition of No Kings Day! I was pleased to see Newton Mayor Marc Laredo there, and it was energizing to be around so many people who care about democracy, the rule of law, due process, and the ethos of love thy neighbor. #NewtonIndivisible #NoKings #NoKingsNewtonMA
Why are so many citizens taking to the streets today for the 3rd No Kings event? a. Trump launched a war without congressional approval; b. Trump is flailing on the economy; c. Stephen Miller’s chaos and cruelty; d. Administration is violating laws and ignoring the constitution? #NoKings
Minnesota had taught us a lot.
Good infrastructure results from elected officials doing their jobs to improve the lives of all Americans by recognizing that investing taxpayers' money in the right infrastructure has a positive effect on the economy. We need more urban rail and efficient airport-to-rail connectivity.
It is so satisfying to see this district, which includes the home I grew up in, flip blue. #Democracy in action. Interesting to note that this is a gerrymandered district that has been sliced to make it harder for Democrats to win. #BlueWave #NoKings
Quote of the week: “This is what happens when you put real estate developers and talk show hosts in charge of American national security.“ — Chris Murphy, @chrismurphyct.bsky.social
I’d like to see more elected officials speak the truth and critique this administration with facts, evidence, and the logic of sane people like @chrismurphyct.bsky.social

“No matter what he thinks, Trump is not a king. But by taking America to war all on his own, he is acting like one.” — David French, “War and Peace Cannot Be Left to One Man,” New York Times Op-ed, March 1, 2026, #NoKings Day on March 28, 2026, join the movement, nokings.org
It’s the end of the media ecosystem as we know it … welcome to the new and improved reality distortion machine.
CNN going from center to hard right will be the beginning of the end, welcome to Oceania…
It’s not a problem, it’s a strategic business plan, “they who control the media control reality” now what are some concrete actions we can take to resist this?
Find a #NoKings event near you and be part of what may be the largest protest in American history. This is the social proof needed to help encourage more people to participate and get involved in organizing. We never had a democracy but we will sure miss it when it’s gone, so let’s fight for it.
"Unlike water, courage can flow uphill to where it is needed. Courage modeled from below is as powerful as courage modeled from above." — Ira Chaleff
CBS has become Conservative BS, joining FOX news in misinformation and disinformation leadership. We can’t sustain a democracy when our reality construction mechanisms are controlled by oligarchs and authoritarians. Tune in to pro-democracy alternatives and join your local chapter of #Individible
The epistemological divide continues to widen…
Datacenters are proliferating, and issues related to water consumption, air pollution, and stress on the electric grid are not the only problems; add infrasound: Datacenters Behaving Like Acoustic Weapons (Benn Jordan, Feb 18, 2026, YouTube), www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bP8...
From oligopoly to oligarchs, progress American style.
Astute and incisive analysis, the president is right they are lapdogs, just not his exclusively.
There are lots of pro-democracy MA folks on BlueSky and I for one am pleased with the work of @ajcampbellma.bsky.social but there is much remaining to do to restore democracy and the rule of law and due process
