Turns out the 1940s NYC Tax Department photographs (by WPA photogs) include outtakes, and they are so wonderful! 1940s.nyc/outtakes

The most vital thing you can do right now is spread this message offline to normies. There is no "unrest", there's a protest. It has 400 people. LA does worse when the Lakers come in 3rd in a season.

Friendly reminder. In the United States, criminals are entitled to due process. Even if you pay hush money rig an election, steal top secret documents, or incite a mob to overthrow the government; no matter how egregious your crimes, you’re entitled to due process.

Gov. Kim Reynolds signs law lowering Iowa age to own a handgun to 18 Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds signed a law, which goes into effect July 1, to allow 18-, 19- and 20-year-olds to own and carry handguns.

Republicans are actually lowering the age limit to buy guns to 18, even though 18 to 20-year-olds are FOUR TIMES more likely to commit gun homicides. This is craven.

Not sure who needs to hear this, but any govt official who violates someone's constitutional rights -- and is acting outside the scope of their lawful authority -- can be PERSONALLY liable in a civil suit.

ICE officers. Cabinet members. White House staffers. Even the president.

Dallas school shooting: 4 hurt at Wilmer-Hutchins High School, suspect on the loose Three people have non-life-threatening injuries, and one person is in serious condition because of a shooting at Wilmer-Hutchins High School in Dallas.

Wilmer-Hutchins High School in Dallas, Texas, was on lockdown after a "shooting incident" wounded a 17-year-old in the leg. This comes one day after state lawmakers heard bills that could allow 18 year olds to carry loaded guns in schools.

8/ This is a watershed moment, as Trump thumbs his nose at a Supreme Court ruling, gaslighting the public by pretending his won 9-0 when he lost 9-0.

If we normalize this, there's no end. He can lock up or remove anyone. We will no longer exist in a democracy.

A Governor’s home was set on fire while he and his family slept inside, and the President has still not said anything, as far as I can tell.

Worth noting that Trump attacked Shapiro as a “highly overrated *Jewish* Governor” last summer.

Goal achieved: An unusual number of people in an unusual number of places. 1,300 globally. There were probably more than 10,000 speakers alone at rallies today. Baffling to think about this scale!

Protests aren’t the only tool in the anti-authoritarian toolkit, but they’re incredibly important. Protests help us see each other; they make it feel safer to refuse to obey the dictator, and make it more possible for us to organize mass non-cooperation.

It’s an essential step in the process.

Today, Trump’s 10% tariffs go into effect which serve only to raise costs for the American people.

Here’s a statement the White House released today:

“The President won his second round matchup of the Senior Club Championship today in Jupiter, FL, and advances to the Championship Round tomorrow.”
