MSNBC reporter in gas mask in Los Angeles: I think it was Sheriffs deploying CS gas, tear gas, pepper spray, and flash bang grenades in large numbers. Mounted units pushing against protesters.., every single gathering I saw today was 100% peaceful

If Noem doesn’t know who the California senator is, what else doesn’t she know?

Thank you for your attention to this matter! #NoKings

“If ICE is going to wear a mask in their uniform, then I can.” In August, Nassau County lawmakers passed a bill banning the public from wearing masks. Protesters showed up today masked anyway. We asked them why.

I will not be silent. I will not bend the knee. I will speak up for every person in this nation.

Police found a list of Democrats supporting abortion rights & other liberal causes in a vehicle used by the Minnesota shooting suspect Vance Luther Boelter, 57. Police described him as white, about 6-foot-1 & 220 pounds, with brown hair & brown eyes, & said he should be considered armed & dangerous!

Padilla on Noem: "How does the cabinet secretary not know the senator from California when she steps foot into Los Angeles? She came through the Senate for confirmation."

This 32 year veteran says GFQ

Today is a good day to reevaluate where you get your news from. How did your news sources describe Trump’s pathetic parade? How did they describe the protests? Did they lie about the crowd sizes? Or did they tell the truth? These moments can be really clarifying.

Just want to take a moment to shout out the international reporters helping us get the real story out. When an 80-year-old veteran with a walker is hauled off with his hands zip-tied behind his back, and the media spins it as a “threatening breach” of a police barricade

With the tragic assassination of a Minnesota Democratic leader, I’m going to underline this point again.

Masked agents in unmarked cars disappearing people from the street and shipping them to a dictator’s prison. Executive branch officials blowing off federal court orders, wrestling members of Congress to the ground and handcuffing them for asking a question. Smells like fascism.

A reminder to reporters, when historians look back on this moment with the president throwing himself a military parade and the people throwing No Kings rallies across America, the media sources raving about the former and sneering at the latter are going to be quoted by name. This is your legacy!

Isn’t the sponsor “the American tax payer?”

No tyrants especially cowards who are immoral morons

Anyone who has ever lived in LA county will not be surprised it was the sheriff's department that escalated

Among the eight people who RFK Jr. announced would make up his new group of outside vaccine advisers to the CDC are an emergency physician who posted Islamophobic commentary on social media and two doctors who were paid to provide expert testimony in trials against a vaccine maker. cnn.it/3Zy8wLf

We’re closing in on the 3.5% rule! 8.6 million and counting! We’re in awe. Lots of events still happening make sure to be counted. Big towns, small towns you showed up.

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

Another war in the Middle East, soldiers trying to "liberate" a Democratic California, and the President hosting a military parade for his birthday. I still can't believe so many Americans voted for this dumpster fire.

Just finished up at the Evanston No Kings rally. It was safe, peaceful, and a show of solidarity by *at least* 1,000 people. Go to your local protest. Don’t let this administration scare you. Stand with your community when our leaders won’t.

Weingarten: Their attacks on public education are relentless and why? Because they fear knowledge. Why do they fear teachers? They fear us because we teach critical thinking… their brand of greed, power, and privilege cannot survive in a democracy of diverse educated citizens

Trump turns 79 today. He is not only the oldest person ever inaugurated as president, but older today than three of our four living former presidents -- older than Obama (out of office for 8 years), Bush (out of office for 16 years, and Clinton (out of office for 24 years).

I really think Noem’s plans to “liberate” California from its democratically elected government with military force should not have gotten lost in the news cycle but that appears to be exactly what is happening

NEW: Dallas, Texas right now. Absolutely insane turnout. Tens of thousands of anti-Trump protestors have taken over downtown. I have seen enough footage to be assured that millions have taken to the streets of America today. 👏 #NoKings #50501Movement (🎥 Dallas Texas TV)

KNOXVILLE…

Massive #NoKings march in New York City!

NEW: Democracy is alive in Philly! Amazing scenes in Philadelphia as thousands hit the streets for the anti-Trump protest. #NoKings #50501Movement

Wow—the Long Beach, CA No Kings protest was huge and very uplifting. We the people will prevail! Keep up the pressure!

#ICYMI: Tear gas is particularly painful when it gets on your skin or in your eyes. Doctors have advised protesters not to wear contact lenses. The chemical agent can also cause long-term harm by making people more susceptible to contracting respiratory illnesses. (Published 2020)

It's hard to show in a picture but this crowd is HUGE. I have it on good authority that it's "way bigger" than Hands Off.

American life expectancy in 1960 was almost ten years shorter than it is today. And the leading causes of death were chronic diseases. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. frequently tells a different story.

As Gavin Newsom keeps pointing out, some of these Guardsmen are full-time fire prevention/response and others are supposed to be fighting fentanyl trafficking.

Let’s fucking go!!!

No Kings flagship rally in Philadelphia opens with Rev. Barber: We have heard that lawmakers in Minnesota have been killed…In this moment, my brothers and sisters, let us repent as a nation for all of this violence and death.
