We begin each week here on the Nicole Sandler Show by catching up on the news with Jonathan Larsen of TheFuckingNews.substack.com and yes, there certainly was a lot of fucking news made over the weekend.
When we last spoke on Friday, we were reeling from the treatment of California's Senator Alex Padilla at a press conference at the federal building in Los Angeles held by DHS secretary Kristi Noem. He was forcibly removed, tackled to the floor and handcuffed. It was awful.
That didn't prepare us for the horrific news of Israel striking Iran and Iran striking back. War. Damn. Or for the horrific news we awoke to on Saturday morning of an assassin murdering a loved and respected Minnesota state representative (and former Speaker of the MN House) and her husband and the attempted murders of a Minnesota State Senator and his wife. The killer remained at large until last night!
We were preparing for the weekend's planned activities -- the No King Day marches and rallies around the nation and Trump's ego boosting military parade in DC.
On today's show, we discuss a lot of that news, and I'll share some videos I put together of the two Saturday planned events...
Also, if you're wondering how to keep up the momentum from the No Kings Day events, Indivisible has a call planned for this evening 8pm ET/5pm PT: "No Kings: What's Next in the Fight" - sign up here.
Tomorrow, we'll continue the conversation with Will Bunch of the Philadelphia Inquirer. He wrote about the No Kings Day event in his free newsletter today. If you're not already subscribed, you can do so here.
