Just watched LAPD launch tear gas at peaceful protesters live

Police preparing to issue a dispersal order in LA. Crowd has been completely peaceful

It's getting a bit rowdy outside the Trump parade

Trump firing Hegseth because his parade sucked shit would be insanely on brand

Is Petey already drunk?

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

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible

Liberal stronghold, Waco, TX

Chicago showed the fuck up!

Chicago

The US may actually have a semblance of a popular front brewing for the first time in recent memory. There are a LOT of non-MAGA Republican boomers at these No Kings protests around LA

At some point we should discuss Meta's policy of quickly erasing the Facebook profiles of right-wing killers. The public deserves to exactly know how these people were radicalized by Facebook's algorithms.

Hell yeah Des Plaines

Now: Daley Plaza in Chicago is already full, spilling into the streets surrounding it for today's #NoKings rally in Chicago. This will be my thread for that. Fyi: With so many people down here, service may be spotty so uploading photos/video may not work and I may end up resorting to text.

Happening now: a massive crowd growing in Chicago for this afternoon's No Kings march. We'll update as we can. Service is spotty right now.

They’re trying to stop you from showing up. They want you to stay home. If your state says it’s safe to go, you should protest. Meet people, march, make posters, organize, have fun, be seen. Don’t let the bastards win.

Let’s not mince words on exactly what the MAGA movement is.

Walz announces that Rep. Melissa Hortman is dead as a result of a "politically motivated assassination"

Chicago specific, updated for the times

MN Dem lawmakers and their spouses shot at their houses overnight. Suspect dressed like a cop and drove a cop-like car shot one couple at their house then drove to the other house and shot a second couple.

Fucking hell: “Minnesota state senator John Hoffman in Champlin and Minnesota state representative Melissa Hortman in Brooklyn Park were reportedly shot in their homes by a gunman impersonating a police officer.”

"Even if it went to the point of setting a car on fire, that's not a domestic insurrection. That's a protest that is engaged in some illegality. And we have civil means to punish it without the armed forces.”

The raids on my former home started today. Nobody is doing anything, as predicted.

US Veterans peacefully protesting Trump’s military birthday parade arrested at Capitol Hill. This is the moment a 80+ year old US veteran is taken away in handcuffs for practicing his 1st Amendment right. #3E #NoKings #NoKingsProtests (🎥 @gregjstoker.bsky.social )

At the brink of war, our military is being led by an incompetent drunk. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tUo...

Does WWE stand for We Want Everyonetodieoflisteria now?

OH JESUS FUCKING CHRIST

This is illegal, not that the law means anything at this point.

This is not a drill. All is takes is 3.5% of a population engaging in peaceful protest to hold back authoritarian movements. See you tomorrow.

Coming soon to a democrat held city near you: illegal detention by united state military forces in an effort to aid an accelerating fascist ethic cleansing across the country. The violence of martial law is happening already pushback is not what is needed for them to do more.

The "I'll lower costs and get us out of endless wars" candidate is now presiding over surging costs and brand new wars.

And just like that, Trump voters went from ‘no foreign entanglements’ to bloodthirsty warmongers cheering on another war in the Middle East

The vast majority of “liberals” are actually conservatives. Obama was a conservative on most issues. The modern Republican Party is just so far to the right that Reagan looks like a liberal (they certainly agree on foreign policy).
