political press is doing a real disservice by basically not reporting the nuances of public opinion on deportations, and creating the appearance that most americans support the stephen miller-style gestapo tactics

Okay so I take it back this parade is amazing. Massive turnout every city to tell Trump to go fuck himself and meanwhile his big weird dictator parade is attended by two dozen rednecks, some people out for a picnic who don’t understand what’s happening, and a smattering of press.

America is now aWOKE!!! ✊✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

We, the people, have spoken!

"This is what you get when you order your 79th birthday celebration from Temu, but didn't pay the tariffs."

Birthday party for democracy!

Never. You showed up, stood up and spoke out. We will never cede the power of #wethepeople. Collectively our power is greater than any person seeking absolute authority. No turning back. #nokingsday #resist

Guy just did for parades what he did for steaks, airlines, and casinos.

Good doggie

Another #NoKings from r/seattle

Wait. That military parade is supposed to make other countries fear and respect us more?

Sen. Rand Paul: "I just never liked the idea of the parade because I grew up in the '70s and '80s and the only parades I can remember are Soviet parades or North Korean parades...Then there's the cost, I mean we're $2 trillion in the hole. I'm not for it."

Sen. Blumenthal: "I think the president should call on the Senate to vote on approval of the Russian sanction bill literally tomorrow...This moment cries out for presidential leadership. There's an urgency here."

Me, me, me, me, me! Everything is about me!! Everyone should thank me!! Poor me!!

A nice little respite amongst the madness.

"How does it feel to get arrested at 87 years old? He said "I'm just beginning!"

Thank you for your attention to this matter! #NoKings

Yesterday, millions of us reasserted the “We” in "We the people." We gained strength from our solidarity. We celebrated our numbers and our power. We will be steadfast. We will not cower to a dictator. We will win.

Rep. Seth Moulton: "Speaking as a veteran, I have to tell you the Marines don't want to be [in LA]. No one signs up to join the USMC to go against Americans on the streets of an American city....That's not why you sign up to serve the country."

What we learned yesterday. The Times They Are a-Changin'

Even Mother Nature is done with Felon47’s bullshit.

What happened in Minnesota is the kind of heinous violation of humanity that should have generated bipartisan outrage and condemnation; an act of violence that disgusted all decent human beings. The problem is, the MAGA movement is inherently indecent. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/the-minnes...

#NoKings

Folsom CA, Who is he?

There is no such thing as an overreaction with what has now happened. This is the line in the sand. Every red hat who supports killing Americans is a traitor.

To those who have not studied history, or forgot, or don’t believe history repeats, take a look. If you still don’t get the connection, then you will live the consequences of your actions, or inaction.

Reminder: Republicans are facilitating a massive transfer of wealth to the richest Americans while making cuts that would rip away healthcare and food from millions of people. It's Robin Hood in reverse.

No Kings Chicago Style. We like Democracy Neat - no ICE

Germany had to be De-Nazified to allow democracy to flourish. The USA has to be De-MAGAified to do the same.

Our able men and women in uniform swear an Oath to support the Constitution—they didn’t sign up to spend the weekend in a military parade to feed the insatiable narcissism of an incorrigible insurrectionist/dictator.

At any time during the kerfuffle with @padilla.senate.gov, DHS secretary Kristi Noem could have called off the goons She didn't because she's a performative cosplaying thug who lives for theater and feared the questions coming from CA's senior senator Alex Padilla

That army parade was straight outta Spinal Tap.

Mike Pence: "The president was wrong to pardon people who assaulted police officers on January 6...Anyone who would ever use violence, whether it be against law enforcement of political violence, must be condemned universally."

I would love to see a 50-state campaign to pass free school lunch and anti-gun measures in tribute.

Honestly, I can’t believe they got Melania to come.

Good morning. Jimmi Pickles has dark toe beans on her black paw and light toe beans on her orange paw. (She is purring in this pic)

Whoa! Hats off to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for keeping his cool yesterday. This LAPD officer needs to be relieved of duty if he can’t handle an alleged “touch” without snapping.

#Nokings San Diego

There’s the Kristi Noem version—then there’s the truth. WATCH: Sen. Alex Padilla’s first interview since he was forced out of a federal building press conference… for daring to ask questions.

here's today's post: "we need to talk about this vampiric shitweasel" — what’s happening in LA is this fucker’s fault. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter so you never miss a post —

BREAKING: Judge Breyer orders Trump to return control of the National Guard back to California, saying the call-up was illegal. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

🚨BREAKING: A federal judge issued a sweeping order blocking President Donald Trump’s unprecedented seizure of California’s National Guard, calling the move illegal and a “dangerous precedent. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This is like when Russian oligarchs and, more recently, Chinese tech billionaires learned the difference between being a fantastically rich person and being in direct personal control of the state and its powers.

Billionaire Walmart heiress Christy Walton is paying for a full page ad in the New York Times entitled ‘No Kings’ and MAGA are now calling to boycott Walmart. This is funny AF. 🤣

They’re doing jobs Americans refuse to do and they’re being hunted ….
