ICE was forced to back out of the Super Bowl thanks to public outrage. Good job, humans. Keep being outraged. You should be.
Several actions planned in Tucson tomorrow, including a protest on 22nd east of Country Club (10-12), “Ice Out” 325 N. Grande in Menlo Park, and the 5 pm event at Catalina Park, 941 N. 4th Ave. Wear black if you can and bring relevant signs: RESIST, ICE Out of Tucson, etc.

⚫️ Catherine Cortez Masto
⚫️ Dick Durbin
⚫️ John Fetterman
⚫️ Maggie Hassan
⚫️ Tim Kaine
⚫️ Angus King

Their excuses don’t hold water. They betrayed all Americans who were counting on them to stand firm and keep fighting.

RFK is undoing human subjects protections so he can conduct placebo trials of vaccines. That means infecting people knowingly. I wonder who will “volunteer” for these trials? If history is any guide, a lot of incarcerated and other powerless people.
Signs (and costumes)of the times - No Kings Day in Oro Valley, AZ
#NoKings in the USA! #orovalley #tucson
Either you're against fascism, or you're foolish enough to believe it won't come for you.
BREAKING: The House just passed Trump’s “Big, Ugly Bill.”
Ripping Medicaid and SNAP benefits away from millions of Americans isn’t enough for them. This bill also makes it easier for dangerous people to buy gun silencers and short-barreled rifles & shotguns. It will make us all less safe.

It’s not only patriotic, but it’s our constitutional right and duty to do so." — Anu Joshi ACLU National Campaign Director for Immigration speaking at the No Kings rally in Philadelphia June 14, 2025" A yellow ACLU logo is in the bottom right.
Across the nation, we're taking to the streets to voice our dissent against the Trump administration's abuses of power.
In solidarity with each other, we will not back down in defense of our rights.
Lots of #NoKings events in the #Tucson area today, despite the 100 degree + temps, including a massive motorcade later this afternoon. ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸🌵☀️
Signs of the Day: #NoKings at Reid Park Tucson! Larger event this afternoon - a motorcade, also midtown. #Resist #DefendDemocracy ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸✊🏻
"I cannot say this strongly enough: until 2026, only two things stand between the authoritarian project and its objectives: the judiciary and a popular protest movement. We have no control over the former. We must not surrender, or abandon, the latter."
I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.
Sound familiar?
2,169 events across 20 countries. Millions of peope are standing up tomorrow to say with one voice: No Kings!

For the would-be dictator, success depends on projecting power and creating an aura of inevitability. They need you to believe that Trump is the new normal, that the MAGA movement will be in power for the long haul, that the only rational move is to go along, keep your head down, and protect your own interests. We’ve seen over the last six months what happens when this aura of inevitability goes unchallenged. Institutions -- from state governments to businesses to civil society to higher education to media -- start to fall in line, do what Trump tells them, and/or go silent. Here’s the thing: The aura of inevitability is a lie. It’s all a lie. Power in American society doesn’t derive from the top down. Trump’s grasp is brittle, and he’s overreaching dramatically. He will only succeed if everyone agrees to believe the lie. Or, as our friend Reverend Barber says: A king is only a king if we bow down. Countering the aura of inevitability requires a hundred different tactics and strategies. It looks like making an example of Target for obeying in advance and getting rid of its DEI policies. It looks like protesting and toxifying Elon Musk until he bows out of government. It looks like students at Georgetown making a list of Big Law collaborators and organizing their peers to steer clear. It looks like federal workers refusing to obey illegal or unethical orders. It looks like building the muscles and the relationships for collective action. In short, it requires a countless number of people in a countless number of places to do something that the Trump regime doesn’t want them to do, or to NOT do something the Trump regime wants them to do. That’s how we shake off the aura of inevitability and halt the autocratic breakthrough.
Very easy to feel doomerish right now, but I'm taking some heart from this @leahgreenberg.bsky.social message laying out the rationale for Saturday's No Kings protests.
