Do you think any of the Sunday show talking heads are going to discuss how tired trump looked at that parade?

There's a good sized crowd right across from trump's stage, but just twenty feet down the street there's almost nobody at the parade railings.

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

a big day for police doing what they’re good at: rioting against peaceful protesters and letting killers escape

There were millions today. In part bc there were a dozen of you at that intersection that time, or every Tues, or after soccer. Or you stood alone with a sign at an overpass. Or your tiny town rallied around a detained woman, or 17 yo, or family. Your courage was contagious. Look what you did.

Law enforcement in LA seems to be eternally re-fighting the 1992 riots, even when they fucking shouldn’t.

A large, vocal and peaceful gathering — that was Nashville’s version of the No Kings protest against President Donald Trump on Saturday. via @wpln.bsky.social

Cannot stress enough that the protest in DTLA was completely nonviolent until the local police departments showed up Been in contact with multiple indies currently on the ground who confirmed this. Cops pushed, then started firing riot munitions indiscriminately

The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III and Britain. Donald Trump has committed at least 16 of those same offenses. #NoKings

It’s not hyperbole to say that the deaths in Minnesota are on the GOP’s hands. They’ve built this political environment and they’ve allowed a demagogue to spread hate. This is entirely on them.

“You’re gonna get arrested too” he says to someone walking by wearing a KN95, then clarifies he is threatening arrest to people specifically for wearing masks (respiratory protection)

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

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.

NEW: In the last few hours, Minnesota authorities warned people against attending protests, with a killer on the loose. This is the current view of the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul. DEFIANCE. 👏 #NoKings #50501Movement (📸 Daviss)

You can draw a straight line between reckless rhetoric like the comments from the Speaker of the House earlier this week and the horrific political violence that just occurred in Minnesota.

Well past time for big city mayors to call for the arrest of anyone who claims to be law enforcement but wears a mask and/or won’t identify themselves

don't let the Far Right media underplay this, or even lie about what happened. what happened in Minnesota this morning was straight-up right-wing terrorism. #Assassination

With the tragic assassination of a Minnesota Democratic leader, I’m going to underline this point again.

Men impersonating police shooting Democratic lawmakers. Men impersonating ICE kidnapping women & children. Immigration “officers” storming a church.“The whole country is our property.” When is enough enough?

I am fully comfortably saying that Republicans are culpable for the murder of a State Senator and attempted murder of a US senator at this point.

It’s not just that they normalize political violence. They also accuse the left of engaging in mostly imaginary violence, which gives unhinged right-wingers justification to “retaliate.”

Hello from the No Kings protest in Philadelphia. The park is already pretty filled up, and it doesn’t actually start for another 30 minutes.

To those who still somehow say you’re overreacting to say we are far past the point of historic crisis, go back to summer 2024 and say that in less than a year the president of the United States would be deploying the literal Marines on American soil to deal with and intimidate his political enemies

Two important things to note: 1) the most significant violence we’ve seen this year was not against ICE or Trump or members of his administration, but against Democrats 2) when ICE scoffs at people asking for warrants or for identification, THIS IS WHY THEY ASK www.fox9.com/news/melissa...

you ever think about how in 2009 DHS released a report about the growing threat of violent domestic terrorism from the right and then Republicans got so mad about it the DHS secretary resigned?
