Thousands of peaceful protesters have lined the road for over 8 continuous miles just outside of Washington DC right now! They did not vote for a king and they are well aware that Trump is trying to cut off their health care benefits to give tax breaks to him and his billionaire donors friends.

Spent today at 1 of the like 50 events @demsabroad.bsky.social organized 🌎-wide in solidarity w y'all. 2 in South Africa (Cape Town & I attended in Johannesburg). It was cold here, but a great get-together w/ info for ppl to register to vote & other ways to get engaged. Joyful resistance. Community.

Anchorage - 5k Fairbanks - 2k Gustavus - 113 Homer - 1.3k Juneau - 1.7k Kodiak - 170 Kotzebue - 42 Matsu/palmer - 350 Valdez - 70 Seldovia - 33 (pop 78) Sitka - 379 Talkeetna - 85 #NoKings! ❌👑 We had more folks show up in #Alaska than showed up at the saaaad 😥💔birthday parade in DC. Just sayin...

As we were just arriving at the NO KINGS protest in Thousand Oaks, CA, Ventura Co.: These were the early birds, arriving before the protest was even scheduled to start. The video only captures a small fraction of those in attendance. By the time we left protesters lined both sides of the street. 1/6

Thousands turn out for #NoKings Day in Cincinnati OH -- where JD & Usha Vance are registered to vote; where voters rejected JD's brother Cory Bowman

Today’s the U.S. Army’s 250th birthday. For those who have worn the Soldier’s cloth, it’s special. For me, it also feels somber. I want to share the images below because they depict key influction points for the Army and our country. They have always stood out to me. Fitting for No King’s Day.

Wow. Powerful experience today. Big turnout at the No Kings protest in Culver City. Check the vibe and the message: unity, solidarity, and some seriously kick-ass signs. 🔥

#NoKingsDay protest in Brattleboro VT where 3 generations of my family + a dog came out while on our family vacation🗣️🪧 NO KINGS🚫👑

3 generations against Trump! No Kings Day in #HuntingtonBeach #NoKings #NoKingsDay

This is my hometown, and my fellow Hispanic Dems @dhcfmiami.bsky.social who showed up with our TRAITORS truck to reject the wannabe dictator in the White House. We will never bow or bend the knee to him or anyone who disrespects our nation, Constitution, and our Hispanic community. #NoKings

🏆 to whoever came up with and coordinated the No Kings protest at Ocean Beach, San Francisco. Don’t miss it…absolute fire.

This isn’t DTLA but this is PASADENA!!! Absolutely packed and absolutely peaceful. We will not be deterred and in America there are #NoKings!

Today was HOPE in motion! People are rising for Medicaid, for immigrant families, for Head Start, for SNAP, for democracy.Nearly 5k came out in Kirkland alone to say NO KINGS. Over 2k local events spanned every state in the country! A wave of change is growing. TY to all who are rising up! #NoKings

NIGHTS OF BLUE SKIES (sound up 🎶) DAY 14 JUNE 2025 NO KINGS DAY Millions of Americans came out I am so PROUD Thank each of YOU Tonight I am showing you Southern Arizona 🏜 With this wonderful song This is Tucson, and Oro Valley Thousands Came & in Phoenix In the insane heat #NoKings

Welp, the verdict is in… Trump’s parade is a $40 million taxpayer-funded flop. A waste. A total dud, and he’s not looking happy about it. Actually, no one is. A fascist cosplay gone wrong.

San Antonio’s #NoKings event began at 5pm. The march didn’t begin till 7pm, but the crowd was ready!! ✊🏽 So many cool signs! That’s me and @rayosunlong.bsky.social on the mid & bottom right, and with our dear friends @gabriengregory.bsky.social and @marshagregory.bsky.social in the center! ❤️‍🔥🪅

Marching with thousands in San Antonio! There are no kings in the United States of America. Donald Trump is no king. We will not stand by while people in our communities are subjected to inequality & absent the right to due process under the law.

Some photos from the huge No Kings event in Dana Point—several thousand turned out, peaceful and patriotic. As Franklin said, we have “a Republic—if you can keep it.” Days like this remind us: keeping it takes all of us, standing up together. #NoKings

There are 5000 folks protesting peacefully in Palm Springs; it’s 99 degrees!!!! #NoKings

OMG, y’all. ROTFL🤣 It looks like Trump had crowd-size issues again. What a fantastic way to close #ObamaDay Please pass it on so others can see what an epic failure he is. #NoKings

The current estimate of today’s “No Kings” rally and march in San Diego is 60,000 peaceful protestors. It was a beautiful day. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8rLv8sg/

Anaheim, California showed up big-time today! I saw good friends from work, from Twitter/Bluesky, & even neighbors! It gave so many a feeling of hope & community. We love our neighbors & our immigrant community! #NoKings #NoKingsDay #California

If Pete Hegseth recommended mobilizing the National Guard, he needs to resign now. The job is too big for him. I'm concerned that these actions can come right here to Dalton, West Rome, Cedartown, and all the other small towns across Georgia.

The current federal tax system disproportionately favors billionaires and burdens the working class, while enabling the ultra-wealthy to exploit loopholes, exacerbating income inequality and undermining the principle that no one should be taxed into poverty… In other words, we are footing the bill.

This Midwestern lady’s response to that other cemetery video… yes people will die. #ProtectMedicaid

The Republican Bill for Donald Trump's tax scam will leave nearly 11 million people without health care. It is projected to add $2.4 trillion to the national debt over the next 10 years and contradicts claims by the White House and Republican leaders that the bill won't worsen the national debt.

Americans support ALL our brave veterans and show gratitude for their sacrifices and service. Republicans? Not so much. #Pride #PrideMonth

We’re turning 10 this year, and we’re kicking off the celebration early with a LIVE virtual town hall with @repjasmine.bsky.social and Jon Tester this Tuesday at 12 PM ET. Will we see you there?

WAKE UP, AMERICA! Trump and his Republican enablers in Congress are trying to defund public schools, diverting YOUR tax dollars to private schools with ZERO accountability! Hands off Public Schools!!!

Trump and the MAGA GOP are destroying our schools system. Instead of using taxpayer dollars to fund vital public school programs, they are diverting tax resources to private charter and religious schools. Hands Off Public Schools social.demcast.com/s/swQA3mJ4

Take a moment to read and share The Big Beautiful Bend Over Bill $BILLION. Yes BILLION to subsidize private and religious schools So public schools will suffer (ty @bannerite.bsky.social)

Tucked inside the House GOP tax bill? A massive national voucher program. $5B/year in tax credits to subsidize private & religious schools—$20B over 4 years. Public money, zero oversight. A backdoor defund of public education masked as “choice.” Hands Off Public Schools

Want strong communities? Start with strong schools. Say no to Trump's education cuts: 202-224-3121 #HandsOffPublicSchools Tell them: Hands Off Public Schools!

Republicans are trying to defund education because an ignorant population is easier to control. Let's be clear: we won't let them win. We won't stop fighting till they take their hands off public schools.

🛑 Hands Off Public Schools I’m Not Falling for the GOP Scam. Are you? 📌 “Republicans care about public schools” – That’s why they’re banning books and slashing budgets, right? 📌 “Trump’s just cutting waste and fraud” – If you believe that, you haven’t been paying attention 🧵

While Trump’s cronies gut public education, Sen. Elizabeth Warren is demanding answers—and they’re running scared. Linda McMahon bailed on the Senate forum. Why? Because they know this agenda is indefensible. We see you. We won’t back down. Hands Off Public Schools

We all do better when our kids are educated. Hands off our public schools!

Hands Off Public Schools! Public schools are the heart of our communities — where every child deserves a safe, well-funded, and honest education. Extremist agendas have no place in our classrooms. We trust our educators. We value facts. We demand investment, not interference.

Arizona was the first state with universal vouchers in 2021 and it diverted hundreds of millions from Arizona public schools and left the state with a budget deficit... Contact your Senators & Representative NOW and tell them to vote AGAINST cuts to public schools! Hands Off Public Schools!!

Did you vote to have your kids' public schools defunded? That's exactly what Trump is trying to do with his Big Beautiful Bill. Pls call Congress at (202) 224-3121, provide your zip code and they will connect you with your Reps or Senators. Tell them to keep their greedy Hands Off Public Schools

The Trump bill treats public schools as a piggy bank that it can break to fund tax cuts for the wealthy and create chaos for schools across the country even as we watch how disastrously voucher programs have gone nationwide. #HandsOffPublicSchools

Trump and Betsy DeVos want to force school vouchers into all states—including in Michigan. That’s not an education plan. I said on @npr.org these schemes send middle class kids into subprime pop-up schools—while giving new tuition subsidies to the rich. www.npr.org/2025/05/29/n...
