NO KINGS: Portland, ME @ Lincoln Park #nokings #nokingsday

Ummm this made me tear up. Not OK. 😢 #protestart #nokings #notyrants #indivisible

My husband and I attended the No Kings protest in Salt Lake City today. A shooter opened fire on the peaceful protest. He then tried to hide in the crowd. A hero noticed his backpack, grabbed it, found the gun inside and flagged down law enforcement. Here is the moment. Thank you to this hero!

Footage appears to show the arrest of the person of interest after shooting at No Kings protest in Salt Lake City. Details consistent with photos of the arrest published by local press

French President Emmanuel Macron is due to land in Greenland Sunday, in a move designed to bolster European support for the Danish territory, which is still batting away advances from the Trump administration to acquire it

Best moment of my day was J.D. Vance ending his very brief time speaking at Trump’s military birthday parade by saying, “It’s also my wedding anniversary” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Millions across US turn out for ‘No Kings’ protests against Donald Trump Protesters demonstrate at about 2,000 sites nationwide on day US president holds military parade in Washington www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Nobody is rioting. Nobody is breaking any laws. These are cops in my city of Las Vegas just assaulting and arresting anyone on Fremont Street who looks at them. This is fascism.

Our country has seen such highs and lows in how sexy you can be while saying “Happy birthday, Mr. President”

oh my god, JD Vance got up and every time he waited for applause it was like six people clapping and THEN HE SAID TODAY IS HIS WEDDING ANNIVERSARY and barely anyone clapped

Can’t get enough of these.

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.

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

In New York, @revealnews.org's Cynthia Rodriguez spoke to Mirella Camacho, the daughter of immigrant parents, who told her how important it was to come out on their behalf:

World Cup and Olympics organizers texting each other furiously, wondering how they break the contract.

MSNBC reporter on ground in LA right now saying that from what he has seen the protestors have been peaceful but the LA Sheriff’s Dept in particular has been off the chain, quick to use tear gas and rubber bullets in an exceedingly aggressive manner

Today in Boston. Over a million people turned out. Even the drone couldn't get it all. #NoKingsDay #BostonStrong #ICEProtest

BREAKING: Numerous US politicians bought war stocks before Israel attacked Iran. US Congressman Rob Bresnahan bought $LMT, Lockheed Martin, a weapons manufacturer, on 05/15/2025. Rep Jared Moskowitz bought $LMT on 04/07/2025.. Unusual. Congress Portfolios: unusualwhales.com/portfolios

i'm surprised by how low energy and farcical that whole military parade situation was. I was expecting Moscow 1945 and we got Spirit Halloween instead.

😂

The FBI is offering a $50,000 award for info leading to the arrest of the suspect in the assassination of MN Dem. Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. He also shot others and a manifesto was found belonging to him and targeting other Dem. leaders in the state. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Broadway in Denver earlier today. Near the Brown Palace/Trinity United Methodist Church

For comparison for those who don’t live in DC: Trump’s Parade vs. The Washington Nationals World Series Parade on the same street

Helena, Montana! #NoKings

A listless speech from a draft-dodger who has denigrated the army for nearly 80 years and degraded it since he became commander-in-chief produces virtually no reaction from the crowd. And then they sing happy birthday as if there would be a firing squad if they did not.

I think the key to understanding every soldier's lack of caring in this parade is to know that this is a three-day-weekend for most of the rest of the Army, in honor of the Army's birthday.

I’m literally two people away from Chattel Slavery…. My Grandpa was a sharecropper he still alive right now. Can call him. He been talking a lot more about his life these days and how shit was. He’s 83…. I’ve been angry since 2015. RIP Mike Brown. (Really ‘97 James Byrd Jr)

My great-granny was born on a slave plantation in Mississippi in 1933. She passed in 2014.

My “apolitical” friend marched today. They done fucked up.

I'm still in utter shock over Caturday

My favorite memory from high school was when I was like ridiculously high and my shop teacher decided to spend that day explaining to the class why the moon landing was fake for 45 minutes. I had to keep asking classmates later if that was real or if I had dreamed it.

Showing your child affection improves their mental and physical well-being, increases brain development, and might even one day save the American taxpayers forty-five million dollars.

A solo counterprotestor — a 19yo from Murfreesboro — was arrested at the Nashville protest for flashing a gun, per MNPD. More: fox17.com/news/local/c...

And there it is. The Minnesota assassin who shot Democratic lawmakers “voted for Donald Trump and was a strong Trump supporter,” according to his best friend.

This was the The Mystery of Al Capone's Vaults of military parades

Imagine being a president and seeing how many people hate you around the world on your birthday? I know he has the world’s biggest ego, but some of today has to filter through…

I’m in downtown LA, the cops were pre-positioned during the scheduled protest to clear every street around the federal building. When people continued marching away from city hall at around 4pm—entirely peaceful, families with children—they cut off the march in the middle. Then they fired teargas.

I’m in Calgary. US delegation is not arriving until tmr night. US media = Trump’s pool. Although accredited as independent journalist, now I’m told WH decides on my access to Q&A. After running in circles, I’m told there is nobody to talk to from US I will be there tmr trying to gain access to Q&A

Five months into his presidency and that malevolent psychopath already has millions of people out in the streets protesting him.

BORDER PATROL: “Are you an 🇺🇸 citizen?” 🔥 NATIVE AMERICAN WOMAN: “FIRST ONES. We didn’t cross the border, the border crossed us… what are you? You’re not first born. You’re not from this f*ckin’ land. Punk-as* b*tches.”
