Trump just announced that over 100 million people attended his parade. Most came disguised as empty seats or as invisible people.

Day 166 of Buy Nothing (from the broligarchs): I appreciate the "offers & needs market" lists and groups I belong to: Buy Nothing on FB, the buy/sell/free pages on Nextdoor, and a workplace exchange - I just scored a good used car-camping mattress on the latter. Means less stuff to landfills too!

Day 165 of Buy Nothing (from the broligarchs): protest supplies are necessities, but I try still not to buy more than I need. I have been pasting new laminated sign segments on top of a previously used foam board on a stick.

We have entered the "The police is saying that if the police is at your door you are not safe call the police immediately" stage of making America great again

In just one week: A GOP president deployed Marines in a U.S. city, called for a Democratic governor’s arrest, the GOP Speaker called for him to be tarred and feathered, a Democratic senator was handcuffed, and two Democratic legislators were shot in their homes.

Back to the assignment 😁 Happy President Barack Obama Appreciation Day! 💙

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

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.

Are you aware of President Obama's humanitarian efforts? It's part of the reason why is still so revered in the U.S. and around the world! 🇺🇸💙🌎 Happy Obama Appreciation and Flag Day!

Holy shit, New York! Here’s the full view. #NoKings #50501Movement

Kristi Noem, Dr. Phil, and ICE went to this woman’s home in Huntington Park, CA at 6am to make a spectacle and you want me to be satisfied with @governor.ca.gov flowery words? Watch. It’s disgusting. Noem belongs in prison.

Best image of the day:

Just to put it in perspective: Trump’s birthday parade drew about 8,600 people. Meanwhile, Connecticut held 30 rallies, and over 10,000 showed up in Hartford alone. Donald Trump got ratioed by Hartford, Connecticut. On his birthday.

A Class Act 🔥🔥 One of the Best 🔥 #SheShed #ObamaAppreciation

Luv this… and the strong women who take no shit

President Obama Appreciation Day❤️

“How much can possibly happen when I’m on parental leave?” Alexandra Petri asked five months ago, on January 10, 2025. A lot, it turns out:

The man who launched an attempted coup on the United States in 2020 and instigated an insurrection at the Capitol that resulted in five deaths now claims that people in Los Angeles are launching an insurrection. They’re not. [Cartoon by Adam Zyglis]

“Money for people, not parades!” say U.S. Veterans who held a sit-in on the steps of the Capitol. 60 Vets were arrested, including an elderly man with a walker. It’s immoral Trump has ended services for Americans while spending millions on a military parade #NoKings m.youtube.com/watch?v=5hDk...

#nokings #savannah And here’s a lady getting arrested for wearing a medical mask

"To celebrate my birthday, I had an 80-year-old veteran and sixty other veterans arrested for opposing my military parade."

1m people allegedly in boston today. the scale of this is just crazy. i think record-breaking www.wcvb.com/article/more...

“If ICE is going to wear a mask in their uniform, then I can.” In August, Nassau County lawmakers passed a bill banning the public from wearing masks. Protesters showed up today masked anyway. We asked them why.

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.

Obama is the best of ‘em!

Happy Obama Appreciation Day.

Holy sh*t! Protesters are lined up for a mile in the small town of Geneva, Illinois for the No Kings rally!

absolutely horrifying: "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."

My kids know an American flag when they see one – but they don't yet know all that it represents. When they're old enough, here is what I'm going to tell them:

The L.A. protesters have really gone too far this time… 🌼

The United States of America 🇺🇸 will always be a democratic nation. We do not bow to kings here. Stay strong. Stay safe. We are the voice of the nation. Vetted pack of wonderful humans. Smash the Follow All tab! #NoKings

BREAKING: US Marines deployed to Los Angeles have carried out the first known detention of a civilian, the US military confirms. It was confirmed to Reuters after they shared this image with the US military.
