There are more important reasons to defeat the poisonous Christian Nationalism destroying our country, but I hope we can knock back the rise of prudishness when we do. It’s making me tired.

Call your reps. I know you’re going to say “but mine don’t care” and let me tell you yes, they will actually care, because you don’t just call. After you call, you tell three friends who aren’t online, and ask them to call. Posting is useless. Pick up the phone and tell them not to sell your land.

My god. 6 MILLION acres of public lands in Oregon, including the vast majority of our national forests, will be sold in a fire sale if the MAGA budget passes.

“The bill’s process for selling off lands runs at breakneck speed, demanding the nomination of tracts within 30 days, then every 60 days until the arbitrary multi-million-acre goal is met, all without hearings, debate or public input.”

Jesus the guy’s a fucking Walter Mitty. The fantasies & lies were probably fully unraveling, so he decided to destroy a bunch of other people’s lives about it. What a pathetic, evil piece of shit.

this is a terrific LA-based mutual aid group and I have donated to them in the past.

Our unofficial crowdsourced estimate of yesterday’s protest turnout is rising to 4.2-7 million as we gather more data. At this point potentially the second-largest single day of protest in U.S. history! www.gelliottmorris.com/p/no-kings-d...

lmfao amazing

Truly wild photos coming in from Los Angeles right now.

Genie: ok what do you want for your birthday Trump: a military parade, oh, and also millions of people on the street chanting my name Genie: okie dokie

The students at Hampshire once spontaneously paraded through campus as part of their successful effort to literally drum the shitty President out of office and it was SO much livelier & better coordinated than this shit in DC. Also there was way more cheering from onlookers.

The sad little squeaks of the tank treads as they crawl by silent onlookers is genuinely one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen & it has filled me with joy

hearing the sad squeak of the tanks over the music, and no cheering is really something

Desperately tipping the dust bin out on the floor trying to find Sean Spicer to fix this

This is the real cringe we need to be addressing 😭

The #NoKings march in Dallas, Texas is HUGE!

It's the right combination of things. Those in charge of safety advising people that an assassin is at large and that maybe they don't want to go, and the general populations saying, fuck you, we're not afraid. ✊🏻

Attending the No Kings protest in Auburn Maine as a legal observer. Amazing turnout, covering both sides of the Longley Bridge. No issues at all. There's one lonely counter-protester trying to instigate debate and everybody is ignoring him.

Good morning, I am at the ghost town that is the Army Birthday Celebration, excited to experience what promises to be an incredibly stupid day The Army Strength Competition is about to begin Let's do this 🧵

Anti-Trump 'No Kings Day' protesters endure the rain to demonstrate in Nashville, TN

Northampton, MA.

Get out today if you can! I’m here at the first of two events in Falls Church, VA today, and it’s so heartening. There are TONS of people lining the streets of our little town, block after block. Shouting to drivers honking massively in support. It’s happening everywhere. Join in if you can!

Hello from the No Kings protest in Philadelphia. The park is already pretty filled up, and it doesn’t actually start for another 30 minutes.

The crowd is growing in Portland, Maine #nokings

Shortly after the Atlanta #nokings event kicked off at 10, organizers said Liberty Plaza near the state Capitol had already reached maximum capacity of 5,000.

This is an absolute shambles. But these are also the kind of images that win the ideological war.

My team and I at the Crowd Counting Consortium (@[email protected], Soha Hammam, & Chris Shay) have a new piece out: wagingnonviolence.org/2025/06/amer.... In it, we show that through May 2025, the size and scale of anti-Trump protests have dwarfed those in 2017. 🧵

A bit of brightness in this world: the Edmonton Oilers apparently play Pink Pony Club in the locker room whenever they win, and it’s become a sort of unofficial playoff anthem. Love these burly hockey dudes embracing it. Love the overalls. Love it all. Go Oilers!

And I have a sign.

and if you can't do street protest due to disability or other reasons there are lots of other ways to contribute!!! a bunch are in this nifty zine spencersunshine.com/wp-content/u...

just a reminder that only water goes in your eyes, don’t wear contacts to a protest if you can help it, hot showers will hurt like hell if you have mace or gas residue on your skin. turn off face ID on your phone. pick a buddy & never leave their side. if detained, ask for a lawyer & then shut up.

I see this is still going around. Don't do this. This is literally, exactly the opposite of what you should do. If things are escalating, and you are uncomfortable, leave.

All I have to share for #PigeonAppreciationDay is the Jacobin Widow. 🙃😅 Brown pencil on Fabriano Medioevalis, 85 × 132 mm, 2019.

We cannot measure the success of anti-fascist movements by how the fascists respond. Because the fascists control their own reactions. It gives them too much power to defang our movements and claim an early victory.

I appreciate people in Europe having solidarity protests on Saturday, but I do draw the line at being told we should change to ‘No Tyrants’ because they like their monarchs. Lol lmao noooooooooo France & Ireland stay winning tho. Love you guys 😘

A highlight among highlights! Watching sharp-tailed grouse dance on their lek as the sun rose was a totally unforgettable experience from my #grasslands trek. I wasn’t prepared for the coordination. No action for minutes and then… DANCE! 🕺 You could hear their little feet stamping! #birds 🌿

This is too much. It is a ridiculous amount of stuff happening & I just really object. Like, form an orderly queue you absolute motherfuckers!

Fuck going back in time to fix things, just give me a nice two week vacation in, like, 2013.

We need *mass* mobilization in the U.S. right now, and I think that people who are somehow still focused on sneering at Perfidious Wine Mom Liberals are profoundly unserious
