A friend who went to the Burlington, WA #nokings protest said they had protesters on both sides of the Blvd for a quarter mile. For those not familiar, Burlington is a community of 10,000 in rural Skagit County.

There were parades and gatherings across the United States today with millions of participants. Do you know how much in our tax dollars it cost the federal government? Zero dollars. #NoKIngs

I've been seeing photos and videos of crowds at the No Kings events around the country today. I'm just overwhelmed with a sense of "wow, that's a lot of people". It lifts my spirits. Thank you, America.

Seattle Times is saying over 70,000 people showed up for the protest in Seattle proper. And that's _just_ the Seattle one, doesn't count the ones in the surrounding communities like Bothell and Kenmore and Lake Forest Park. FUCK YEAH. Greater Puget Sound region represent! \0/ #NoKings

A steady rain has moved into the DC area. Visibility is not great. Whoever ordered it to rain on his parade, <chef's kiss>

Are we now going to be told it's "too soon" to bring politics into discussion of, um, a political assassination?

The media seems inordinately interested in the fact that the ferry from Bainbridge to Seattle had some protestors on it, instead of the fact that there was, yanno, a 1.5 mile throng of people marching In #Seattle. What the heck? 😡#NoKings

If you want to know why a Democratic Senator and Representative in Minnesota were shot... It might have something to do with the fact that their deaths would end the Democratic majorities in both chambers.

TIL the term "chip on your shoulder" originated when someone was angry and wanted a fight - they would put a small wood chip on their shoulder and if someone knocked it off it was seen as challenging them to a fight.
