Hello from Berlin where a few hundred Americans are outside the embassy, currently reading aloud from the Declaration of Independence. #nokings

We’re honored to report that over 11 million showed up for today’s No Kings protest, and totals are still coming in. Just… wow. WOW 😮! There’s nothing more to say.

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.

They’re marching to CCR’s Fortunate Son? 🤦🏻‍♀️

Equally important for the rest of the world to see this too.

More people protested today than went to the president’s fascist parade. It’s incredibly important to remember that

🤞

Do you know how badly you have to screw up as a Republican to get this kind of turnout in IDAHO? #NOKINGS

#NoKings in Lihue, Kauai, Hawaii!

#NoKings in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico with @demsabroad.bsky.social and lot of expats standing up for democracy.

From the cobblestone streets of San Miguel de Allende, voices rose in solidarity: no kings, no tyrants, no fascism—anywhere. Even across borders, the fight for freedom is united. Trumpism is a threat without borders, but so is resistance. #NoKings

Despite warnings from the law enforcement not to attend today’s No Kings rally after this mornings shooting of Minnesota lawmakers with the killer on the lose, the No Kings Rally is happening at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul.

Happy #FlagDay. The flag belongs to all of us. Don’t let anyone appropriate patriotism. 🇺🇸

i am not being pollyannish when i insist that the people who sign up do not sign up to advance a president’s domestic political agenda www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

As a former captain who commanded infantry at Twentynine Palms, I know these Marines deserve better than Trump's corruption and Hegseth's incompetence. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

I’m going to watch this instead. Mass starts at 4PM abc7chicago.com/post/how-wat...

As a four-decade veteran of the daily journalism business, let me tell you: Every competent political reporter in this country knows that Trump is trying to establish a dictatorship. The industry's shame is that so few journalists will say so, and the ones who do lose their jobs.

yes. i think the only thing the white house has accomplished this week is dramatically grow the crowds against them.

What happened today should outrage every American — and it's part of a broader pattern of dictator-like moves from Trump's lawless administration. I'm on the Senate floor now to stand with @padilla.senate.gov and condemn this assault on our democracy:

We are marching to Senator Thune’s office. There must be accountability for the detainment of a Senator. This is not normal.

Kristi Noem should resign in disgrace.

Their American citizen relatives in Miami voted for this!! There is a huge chasm between the old guard (60s & 70s refugees) who vote for the GOP and the new arrivals. Of course, race and socioeconomic factors are at play too. It’s a mess.

God love this 90-year-old Irish Catholic priest in Los Angeles, who showed up to the protests wearing full vestments in solidarity with immigrant communities. We need more faith leaders with his courage to show up and speak out.

Johns Hopkins has a new Research Saves Lives page - worth a glance and a share: researchsaveslives.jhu.edu

Now that he's been shitcanned, Terry Moran might consider working in a field that's a change of pace from ABC News, like journalism.

Just in from DC Bar - labor attorney Diane Seltzer defeats securities attorney Brad Bondi in a closely watched race with record turnout.

I don't know why white people keep screaming for Barack and Michelle Obama to say something. Y'all didn't listen the last time they talked.

For the times we find ourselves living in, there’s always a work of art.
