There was a huge #NoKings march Saturday in #Chicago to celebrate the win and hold newly elected members of Congress to account for their part of the job. We organized ourselves with no leadership, with media and social media billionaires against us. We confronted ICE and formed mutual aid networks for a general strikes. We voted in numbers too big to rig and overcame horrific, illegal gerrymandering and voter suppression. We'll be damned if we let sell outs pour all that down the drain.

@MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social 👍 Hawaii also defeated Citizens United, and their method is both effecrive, eye opening and potentially powerful nation wide. https://www.americanprogress.org/article/addressing-questions-surrounding-hawaiis-bold-move-to-undo-citizens-united/ #uspol #nokings #dems #hawaii #citizensUnited

@MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social Complaints that "dems weren't doing anything" proved wrong by the fruition of so many plans, and not a few dems, millions. Proving hate wrong, showing the "more than tolerance" that unites Americans, the mutual loyalty to fairness and self government is very very real. It is this "rising above the hate" that makes Trump so listless and sad, he hasn't been able to ruin Americans. He's failed Putin. #woke #nokings #decency #mutual #fairness #uspil #dems

RE: https://mstdn.social/@kevinrns/117566127132346238 There is an argument, there WAS an argument, that it might be safer to vote for centrists, importantly in close fights. Argument has been proved wrong, this Bernie + AOC endorsed progressive just took this 'fly-over' House seat in Montana for the first time in decades. You can still say its "safer" to elect centrists, but Montana and the City of Los Angeles, dozns of others prove something else. #dems #nokings #indivisible #uspol #fightCorruption#progressives #uspol

#ICE has not been abolished yet, so protestors are still out in force and now rubbing it in. This is from a silent protest at ICE headquarters in #NYC. Pretty good irony in this sign, especially since it's hard to imagine Canada or Mexico giving these monsters some kind of friendly welcome. Maybe they can run to Russia like the Berkut did after Ukraine's Revolution of Dignity. #FuckICE #DHS #NoKings #50501movement

From what I am seeing from DC resisters, Trump has stopped throwing ketchup long enough to attempt to lash out violently. He's having #Hegseth bring in more National Guard and a bunch of new weapons and vehicles into #WashingtonDC. The #NoKings movement was expecting this and preparing, although at this point #Trump can't do much. The regime is already at the stage of resignations, defections and the circular firing squad. This was ordered October 29th...

@MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social Agreed. There are many great leaders in the Senate, time for an election, cough cough, not a coronation. #nokings not even in the Senate.

Quoting
I’m reflecting on all the different types of people who won as Democrats tonight. Different genders, different races, different ethnicities, different sexual orientations. Differences in style and, to some degree, in substance. But all recognizably and clearly antifascist, pro-democracy, committed to pluralistic constitutional democracy, rule of law. That commonality should not be taken for granted. It is the bedrock on which we can build a more just and livable country.

There is now a #NoKings app! You can get local alerts about election protection activities. Indivisible and other orgs have been finding ways to send out mass alerts with reduced reliance on fascist tech giants. This is the latest effort. In South Korea the opposition party did this from the jump and that's why their coup was so short lived. In Brazil we just saw Lula's Army do this. We don't have politicians organizing anything for us, but we have organized ourselves anyway. #midterms
