I keep looking for someone to say this is fake or AI because I can’t believe this is happening

Nothing to see here: just cops on horseback, bicycles, foot, and vehicles harassing a small group of peaceful protesters in a Charleston, South Carolina neighborhood.

A reminder to reporters, when historians look back on this moment with the president throwing himself a military parade and the people throwing No Kings rallies across America, the media sources raving about the former and sneering at the latter are going to be quoted by name. This is your legacy!

PM Carney and Team Canada are not fooling around. Getting things done! 🇨🇦 www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

There are two HUGE stories in America this wknd: 1) nationwide protests — all 50 states, not just big cities but small towns & communities — which gathered MILLIONS OF AMERICANS IN THE STREETS TO DEFEND DEMOCRACY 2) political violence is being normalized — as is violence in political situations /1

BREAKING: Gavin Newsom just posted this mocking Trump’s military parade.

Florida- “That’s fine, we don’t need Canadians to visit” News- “USA has lost $200 BILLION in tourism revenue in the first quarter.” Elbows up.

YESSSSSSS!!! Repost Please.

🚨 Rebel News lost its court battle for official journalism status. The judge found only 10 of 423 posts met the standard for real news. The CRA ruled most were opinion, rewrites, or activist fundraising—not journalism. The ruling makes one thing clear: propaganda isn’t journalism. That's a win!

The VAST MAJORITY of Canadians 🇨🇦 no longer consider the United States to be a friendly country. Following tariffs and threats of annexation, just 27% of Canadians say they consider the United States to be an ally. #MOG8 🇨🇦 #ElbowsUp #CANADA 🇨🇦 cultmtl.com/2025/06/vast...

BREAKING: At 11 MILLION attending, No Kings Day numbers are approaching the critical key 3.5%... A political scientist's "3.5% rule" states that no government has ever held power after 3.5% of its population takes to the streets. Let's go!!!

“No Kings Day”: A compilation

MSNBC reporter in gas mask in Los Angeles: I think it was Sheriffs deploying CS gas, tear gas, pepper spray, and flash bang grenades in large numbers. Mounted units pushing against protesters.., every single gathering I saw today was 100% peaceful

They told Minnesotans to stay home. After the murder of Speaker Hortman and her husband—and the failed attempts on Senator Hoffman and his wife—fear was the official message. But the people came anyway. In defiance. In grief. In purpose. This was the #NoKings rally in MN. #BlueSky #MedSky #NewsSky

😱 🤦 😠

Protester: I’m going into fourth grade and I’m 9 years old

no one is there

Raskin: You are not our king, and we are not your subjects. We will never be your subjects. All of us born here on this land are citizens and your executive order is nothing but bad graffiti on the Constitution, and we're going to wash it off today

No Kings Chicago Style. We like Democracy Neat - no ICE

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

Hello everyone who is marching in #NoKingsMarch. Thank you, sincerely. It is overwhelmingly reassuring to see so many Americans taking to the streets to fight Trumpist fascism. Please keep taking to the streets. This is a long —but winnable battle. In Canada, we have your backs 🇨🇦👊❤️

ICE is now removing undocumented foster children from their foster homes for deportation! For those of you who are supporting this, there will be a reckoning for this … and for those of you who are sitting silently by while these atrocities are unfolding before our eyes, there will be a reckoning!

📌As always, Madison, WI, more then held its own today protesting against the orange, ghastly wannabe king, but the shadow of the gruesome political slaughter in Minnesota, and the masked, fascist marauders who are sweeping people off our streets loomed menacingly over a democracy in radical decline.

No Kings demonstration in downtown Toledo OH. Early shot before everybody got there.

This isn’t DTLA but this is PASADENA!!! Absolutely packed and absolutely peaceful. We will not be deterred and in America there are #NoKings!

#Nokings San Diego

BOOM! We always knew he lost. Now the SCOTUS suspects it, too HAPPY FKG 🎉 BIRTHDAY!

I'm floored. This is ONE stretch of ONE side of the street in deep red, small town Knoxville, TN today. This is a city that Trump won in 2024 by 20+ points. The scope of these protests are massive—American from both sides of the aisle are pissed. There will be no kings.

THANK YOU SIR!

#Boise #Idaho showing up for #NoKings

Raskin: And the moment that somebody in public office begins to act like the master of the people. That is the moment to evict, eject, reject, impeach, try, convict, and start all over again .

#NoKings #Anchorage #Alaska Huge crowd‼️

Boston showed up for No Kings Day!

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.

Holy crap! No Kings Philly.

Last night, Capitol Police arrested roughly 60 veterans and their family members outside the U.S. Capitol. The group had gathered to hold a peaceful sit-in on the Capitol steps, but police intentionally set up a barrier of bike racks to prevent them from demonstrating.

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."

She’s right 😉

There is a lot to unpack here. substack.com/home/post/p-...

BREAKING: Marines — soldiers trained to kill — roll up on a Black man in LA for the high crime of minding his own business. Alone. Unarmed. Quiet. They think you’re the real threat. Our military is turning its weapons inward.

L.A. TACO has confirmed with Brian Gavidia who filmed this troubling footage, that federal agents abducted his U.S.-born Mexican American friend, Javier Ramirez yesterday at 4 PM in Montebello. ~ @theglutster.bsky.social

This man is my hero because he’s a member of the United States Air Force and is standing by his #Oath to the #Constitution! I’m hoping that since he has taken the lead others will follow because this is what a true American Soldier looks like! Remember your Oath to the Constitution
