Not thousands. Not a few million. Over 13 million. Keep going. (Via @50501movement.bsky.social)

💪 We came together to say #NoKings

Teeny tiny blue dots put together makes for a powerful statement. #pinks

My favorite #Wisconsin #NoKings sign/flag from today. #wipolitics

“When they slaughtered Congress, we didn't wake up. When they blamed terrorists and suspended the constitution, we didn't wake up then, either. Nothing changes instantaneously. In a gradually heating bathtub, you'd be boiled to death before you knew it.” —Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale

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.

We’re proud to announce, today’s turnout has already surpassed the Hands Off protest! Over 5.5m people and counting across the U.S. Get out there, be seen, and be counted. This is history in the making. Take plenty of photos and videos and post them publicly. Let the world see what’s happening.

Last thing, 2-4 pm is peak REAPPLY SUNSCREEN hours, don’t forget your ears/lips/backs of your hands/tops of your feet, lotta summer left

Massive #NoKings march in New York City!

#Colorado #Denver #NoKings Yea! 🎉

I’ll be there, will you? No kings. No cults. Just the Constitution—and the people who hold the line.

A woman walking home alone was shot point-blank with “non-lethal” rounds fired by officers in Los Angeles. A neighbor filmed the assault and rushed to help only to be fired on and ordered back.

If you’re worried about property destruction wait until you hear about climate change

They’re trying to silence us with fear and force. But “darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.” On 6/14, we show them what resistance looks like. Peaceful, unshakable, and everywhere!

Bingo!

Philly local tv station reporting that a man allegedly posed as an ICE agent in order to rob a car repair business office. How many other criminals might be getting this idea right now, given that actual ICE agents are refusing to show IDs, warrants, badges?

We see what they’re doing. They’re baiting us, trying to provoke violence to justify a crackdown. Don’t give them the footage they want. Every broken window becomes propaganda in their hands. Stay sharp. Stay united. We’re here to fight for justice, not feed their narrative.

This is my California! ✊ We will not be intimidated or silenced by the military might being used against us. #FreedomToDissent

BREAKING: LA solidarity protesters in Austin are occupying JJ Pickle Federal Building, which houses local ICE processing center

Gavin Newsom posted this on Truth in response to marines being deployed to his state.

‼️ This is absolutely absurd. Trump is actively manufacturing a crisis. The Pentagon just announced that he’s federalizing another 2,000 California National Guard troops bringing the total to 4,000, plus 700 active-duty Marines heading into LA. This is a military occupation, not public safety.

The Anti-ICE protests are spreading. There are now large protests sprouting up in New York City. This isn’t just happening in Los Angeles anymore.

The people complaining that immigrants need to seek citizenship "the right way" get very quiet when ICE kidnaps those same people on their way to immigration hearings.

The President of the United States is advocating for arresting the duly-elected Governor of California for his SPEECH He thereafter admitted that the Governor of California had committed NO CRIME—but he still wants him arrested Spend as much time as you need processing what that means for America

Let this sink in. Even the Los Angeles Police Chief, Jim McDonnell, made it clear: the people protesting immigration raids were not the ones causing violence. During a Sunday evening press conference, McDonnell condemned the violence as “disgusting”

Downtown Los Angeles qqq

Powerful stuff

🤬🤬🤬

Watching news coverage on this is so weird. Police march into crowd, pushing protesters who were doing nothing but standing there waving flags Police start using flash bangs and tear gas Reporters: "We just saw someone throw a water bottle! I can't believe they threw a water bottle at police!"

Every time they say “we can’t afford that,” remember: they could afford armored tanks, a dictators birthday parade, and enough tear gas to choke a city. They just don’t want you fed, safe, or alive.

I think we’ve found the source of the violence

The right in this country always fantasizes about being the victim of the violence they repeatedly inflict on marginalized groups and the left.
