Today we speak with one voice to express our outrage, grief, and condemnation of this horrible attack on public servants. There is no place in our democracy for politically-motivated violence.

I need everyone on Normal People internet to know that American Girl Doll Instagram is doing doll protests today. There are tiny t-shirts and signs. AND THEN I realized it's a joint protest with the Barbie ppl, where there are EVEN TINIER SIGNS.

This day is a vivid reminder that we don't know how the future will unfold. An assassination, a fascist parade, escalating war, detentions. And so many people protesting for democracy for the first time. To quote a sign I saw, "I didn't come out because I'm hopeful. I'm hopeful because we're here."

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 MN assassin's ties to the New Apostolic Reformation begin with his being a graduate of Christ for the Nations Institute. Wired further reports that in 2023 he preached, ”God is going to raise up apostles and prophets in America,” he added, “to correct His church.” www.wired.com/story/shooti...

The evidence is in: normalizing mask-wearing by law enforcement has deadly consequences. Ban it.

One thing that should come out of this in 24 hours is that no law-enforcement officer in U.S. can be allowed to wear masks any longer. And all must display names, badges, badge numbers, warrants, etc. The gamer movie cosplay shit must end.

Thousands attended a joyful, peaceful #NoKings protest in Huntsville, AL today. As the main activities took place on Butler Green, many lined the adjacent street with signs. @indivisible5al.bsky.social @50501alabama.bsky.social @demcast.com @maddow.msnbc.com @purplepeopleresist.bsky.social

Huge turnout at the #NoKings rally in Hattiesburg, Missisisppi today, wrapping up and down both sides of the streets around City Hall. I'd estimate that about 300 people showed up, along with 2 pro-Trump counter-protesters.

Get out today if you can! I’m here at the first of two events in Falls Church, VA today, and it’s so heartening. There are TONS of people lining the streets of our little town, block after block. Shouting to drivers honking massively in support. It’s happening everywhere. Join in if you can!

Montgomery showed UP for No Kings day. The older gentleman in the Alabama hat is SPLC founder Morris Dees; the frat guys on either side of me are the priest and a lay leader at the world’s coolest Catholic Church. Proud so see such a turnout in the birthplace of the civil rights movement! #nokings

Due to a shelter-in-place order and ongoing safety concerns following a shooting that targeted two elected officials, the No Kings protest in Northeast Minneapolis has been canceled. Our thoughts are with the victims, their families, and the communities impacted by this horrifying violence.

Preliminary reports are that the shooter pretended to be law enforcement to do this. This is the inevitable result of the Trump admin normalizing ICE goons wearing masks and not identifying themselves. Anyone can just pretend to be law enforcement now.

This won’t be the last murder of Democrat legislators and if you think Republicans won’t exploit those murders to flip houses or take control of committees, you are fooling yourselves.

Just in case you need this today. If you are arrested, you do have to identify yourself. And you should disclose any immediate medical needs. But other than that, say you want a lawyer and shut the fuck up. Especially on the phones.

At the "No Kings" protest in Montgomery. Michael Brown said he's here because he wants to show there's a different side to Alabama. "We were brought up to love and treat everyone with respect and kindness and dignity. I don't think people are getting that from the current Administration," he said.
