"Around 7 p.m., the big screens onstage that displayed the American flags turned to logos for UFC, the mixed martial arts business. Later, the MC thanked “special sponsor Palantir,” a contractor hired to help Trump compile data on Americans across federal agencies. " 🤮🤢

This was the type of headline I was hoping for. When millions of people voluntarily show up around the world to oppose the President, and he can't even _pay_ enough people to come to his stupid birthday parade, that's a sign that democracy still has a chance in the USA.

Today’s #nokings #notyrants event in Amsterdam was amazing. Such great solidarity among people from the US and around the world. Thank you everyone and @gregshapironl.bsky.social for showing up! Bravo. 👏🏼

These are some of the countries holding events under the 'No Tyrants' banner to reject authoritarianism and show solidarity with the US - based 'No Kings' movement.

So this week we’ve had a man impersonating an ICE agent tie up a woman and steal $1000; a man impersonating a police officer assassinate a top Democratic politician & her husband (and shoot another Democrat & his wife); and a man impersonating a king hold a military parade for his birthday

Happy #NoKings Day to all who celebrate (so, basically anyone who treasures American Democracy)...

Hey for tomorrow's protests, make sure your vehicle registration is up to date and your tag is current. Double check your headlights and tail lights. Any protective gear or even your kids' sports equipment, put it in the trunk or cover it with a blanket (see "plain view" exception).

LAPD is illegally sharing license plate data with ICE and Border Patrol. Under California law, police agencies are barred from sharing license plate reader data with out-of-state public agencies or federal entities.

just a reminder that only water goes in your eyes, don’t wear contacts to a protest if you can help it, hot showers will hurt like hell if you have mace or gas residue on your skin. turn off face ID on your phone. pick a buddy & never leave their side. if detained, ask for a lawyer & then shut up.

I usually don't do protests (hate crowds, don't like arrest), but the fuck if I'm going to stay silent and watch this wanna-be Putin destroy America. I'm attending a local No Kings event, and you should sign up and attend one of the over 2000 events as well! www.mobilize.us/nokings/

There are now more than 2000 #NoKings events scheduled for all 50 states, DC, Puerto Rico, Guam and about a dozen foreign countries. RSVPs are skyrocketing, which is particularly worth noting because a lot of people are very understandably dead set against RSVPing. We will not back down.

This is how thuggish dictators operate. By arresting/removing/killing their political enemies. Perhaps now, the Democratic members of Congress will start acting, seeing as how the thuggery they've been ignoring is directly affecting them. One can hope.

Trump's regime has now committed at least 16 of King George III's 27 offenses specified in the Declaration of Independence. Armed occupation of a city/state over its government's supposed ideology: "He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us."

Hey @warren.senate.gov @ocasio-cortez.house.gov @wyden.senate.gov @vanhollen.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov here's something you could actually investigate and even get a few of your anti-immigrant colleagues to block, instead of only re-posting sternly worded letters online.

So fucking get your cowardly colleagues together and do something, ffs. I am so tired of these pointless messages from the folks who actually can meaningfully do something about this menace and just aren't.

“And so the Greeks send me this horse, we’re talking about one of the most beautiful horses you’ve ever seen. So big. So strong. Normally they keep this kind of horse for themselves but they were such big fans they said sir, please take our big wonderful horse we’ll even bring it to your house”

Look, I'm a well-off middle-age cis white guy with four law degrees, three in commercial law fields. At this point, even I can see that key institutions have failed at the moment they were most needed because we have permitted the development of a largely unregulated and untaxed oligarch class.

This is standard fare for dictators. And that's what Trump really wants to be, and the Republicans are letting him become.
