I love this. 2017, Billy Earl Dade Middle School in Dallas planned a “Breakfast with Dads” for boys whose fathers couldn’t attend. They asked for 50 volunteers—nearly 600 men showed up. This Father’s Day, let’s remember: You don’t have to be someone’s dad to be their example.

Happy Father's Day to all of the fathers, stepfathers, uncles, godfathers, grandfathers, and friends who raise us with pride, joy, and endless laughter. And to Dougie, my best friend and a wonderful dad: Thank you for everything you do for our family. We love you.

Boomers Turned out 🇺🇸 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Much respect ✊🏻 #SheShed

One Minnesota.

What a legacy and what a tragedy 19thnews.org/2025/06/rep-...

This is our city of Los Angeles and we brought a few of our friends. #NoKingsDay

lmao of course (ht @ositanwanevu.com)

WE THE NORTH salute WE THE PEOPLE who came out in their millions against the fascist takeover in the United States. This is going to get a lot harder and a lot more frightening but the tyrant will fall.

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. #Pinks #nokings #indivisible

#NoKings Bend, Oregon

In Ottawa, our nation's capital, protesters marched in solidarity with our friends in the USA outside the American Embassy. www.ctvnews.ca/ottawa/artic...

Today, Seattle said “No Kings” and brought out an estimated 70,000. Our population is 750,000…

WE SERVE NO KING IN AMERICA 🇺🇸

Compilation of massive 'NO KINGS!' protests today ✊ #NoKings

Chicago, Illinois today!🔥💪💙

We the people... have had enough. #nokings #nokingsday #resist #june14 #nokingsday

“Where are the people?” 😂😂😂

To our friends & allies across the globe who today stood in solidarity with those of us in the US who are angry, scared, & mortified: thank you for your grace, your light, & your empathy. Thank you for your support of those of us who aren't in the cult. We see you & are grateful.

Thank you to everyone who joined the #NoKings actions across the country today. Together, we stood for our communities and our democracy, in peaceful, powerful protest. Check out this video from the Philadelphia rally, & tag us in your photos & videos so we can lift them up. 🇺🇸

Wow, the crowd in Chicago is GINORMOUS! So amazing!😁💪💙

Where were the 200,000+ people who were supposed to be at Trump's military parade? Right here:

ABC HEADLINE: “Massive” Parade NBC VIDEO: actually nah Guess firing terry moran for him wasn’t enough, abc ? 🤔

One of our favorite signs from today’s #NoKings protests

5+ MILLION people joined over 2,100 rallies across the nation today, in an act of peaceful resistance and community solidarity. Thanks to everyone who exercised your First Amendment rights and showed our collective power. Get home safe — and make a plan to organize with your local ACLU affiliate.💪

the story today is of a profoundly low energy military parade being met with millions of americans in nationwide protests denouncing the dictatorial pretensions of the president

It was truly an honor to be asked to kick off today’s historic march. Thank you, San Diego! #NoKings

NO KINGS Protest plans… My daughter’s home from college after her first year, and we’re marching for democracy together at the No Kings rally later today. These are our signs (front/back). Please drop photos of your signs or your favorites in the replies all day. Stay safe out there. 🙏🏽

assassinations, handcuffing a senator at press conference, marines detaining a civilian, and a military parade for the president’s birthday. rough week for democracy.

Horrifying news out of Minnesota this morning as political violence takes the lives of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. @Chasten and I are holding their loved ones in our hearts and praying for State Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette as they recover.

BREAKING: Minnesota Gov. Walz says Democratic Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed in a shooting, calling it a “politically motivated assassination.”

The news about this morning's shootings in Minnesota has me on edge about right-wing violence. Whether you are protesting or just a lefty going about your lefty business (mutual aid, organizing, etc), be alert, know who you're dealing with, and know how you would exit any place that feels unsafe.

Gov. Tim Walz: "Minnesota Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were shot and killed early this morning in what appears to be a politically motivated assassination. Our state lost a great leader and I lost the dearest of friends...We must all stand against political violence."

This news out of Minnesota is absolutely horrifying... Jesus 😔

In Philadelphia. No to Kings. We the people of the United States

thread on what law enforcement officials had to say about the assassination of Rep. Melissa Hortman and the attempted assassination of Sen. John Hoffman

A Democratic legislator gunned down in cold blood . Was it inevitable in Trumps America? Maybe. Was it a product of Trumps America? Certainly.

I’m horrified by the shootings targeting Minnesota lawmakers, including Senator John Hoffman and State Rep. Melissa Hortman. Violence is never the answer. Never. I'm holding everyone affected by this attack in my heart.

Brevard County Sheriff Sheriff Wayne Ivey: "If you throw a brick, a firebomb, or point a gun at one of our deputies, we will be notifying your family where to collect your remains at, because we will kill you graveyard dead."

I will provide an update on last night’s targeted shootings shortly: youtube.com/live/VHtHNAb...

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.”

I’ve activated the State Emergency Operations Center. Local law enforcement in Champlin and Brooklyn Park have the full resources of the State of Minnesota behind them. We are monitoring the situation closely and will share more information soon.

Fox 9 Minneapolis reports that two Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses were shot by someone impersonating a police officer. Their conditions are not known. www.fox9.com/news/melissa...

I would rather LIVE in Peace than Rest in Peace

The targeted shootings of Minnesota Senator John Hoffman and State Rep. Melissa Hortman are deeply disturbing. Violence is never acceptable. Praying hard for the victims and all who have been affected.

Two Minnesota lawmakers are in grave condition following apparent “targeted” shooting, officials say Authorities believe the shooter was impersonating law enforcement

🚨 MINNESOTA: “state senator John Hoffman and state representative Melissa Hortman (both Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party) shot in their homes by a gunman impersonating a police officer… A manhunt is currently underway…” kstp.com/kstp-news/to...
