If I didn't have to spend so much time trying to save the world I'd mostly be posting about space, sf, rabbits, and random other stuff. #NoKings

Pretty striking how trans people are two of the three reasons he gives for sending armed kidnappers into major cities, just detached scapegoating for the sake of scapegoating

A free lifetime supply of everything to the first journalist who just flat out asks Trump if Stephen Miller is the president.

I remember watching Ananda on MTV. She died at 52 from a preventable & treatable form of cancer bc she worried mammogram radiation would give her cancer. She then declined treatment when diagnosed, which she regretted when it was too late. The “wellness” industry is literally scaring people to death

This probably doesn’t look like a big protest if you’re in a city, but in a very red small town in FL on a Saturday morning? BFD! #NoKings

The Minnesota assassin appears to be a hate-filled right winger. So can we stop walking on eggshells about MAGA's legitimization of political violence? Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue. 1/ A🧵on the danger.

Hey, everyone, I think we successfully hacked the "balance"=objectivity news model! Because #NoKings was explicitly a counterpoint to the birthday parade, we made it part of the *same* story, so outlets that covered the parade had to cover the protests. @indivisible.org

Cosplay Homeland Secretary head inspiring murderous cosplay cops? I don’t see the connection.

Happy Father's Day

This is my favorite sign from Seattle #NoKings March. It’s 100% Pacific Northwest mood 😁

Not to scare anyone, but our military planning is in the hands of people who had trouble putting a parade together.

It's always amazing how fast they swoop in

The Tea Party protests in April 2009 had about a third of a million people involved, and the political media treated it like a game changer for the Obama presidency. The No Kings rallies were AT LEAST ten times bigger than the Tea Party protests. Will the press keep pretending Trump is popular?

@maddow.msnbc.com Beltway overpass #NoKings protest, Fairfax, VA.

This image aligns with what I overheard as the crowd that there was someone being snipery up on a parking terrace

Millions of people marched. Millions. We hear that number a lot, even billion, so it doesn't sound as big as it should. That's a *lot* of people. Do you know, say, 100 people? A million is ten thousand times that many. Want to count to a million one per second? It'll take 11 days. A lot of people.

“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

The organizers of #NoKings RGV expected 30 people, ~300 came. The US/Mexico Border community is resisting! Brownsville, TX 6/14/2025

This is what our folks on the ground are saying too

Live updates: The No Kings protest along seven miles of El Camino Real from Palo Alto to Sunnyvale was called 7x7 because organizers hoped for 7,000 attendees. Instead, they got around 20,000, said organizer IdaRose Sylvester. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

“Where are the people?” 😂😂😂

Just saw a Facebook photo of a retired O6 who was one of my wife's former commanders. He was pretty solidly conservative at that time. He was out at a protest carrying a "colonels for the constitution" sign.

Many of our coalition members said most people they spoke to were attending their very first protest. Was it your first protest today? Protests across the country remained peaceful and powerful.

One of those magical clips that somehow gets funnier on each successive viewing. The doofus riding on top; the "important" guy walking alongside the tank; the half-empty grandstands; the wheels squeaking along on an otherwise silent street. You might not like it, but this is ART.

Happy Womp Womp Day to all who celebrate 🤣

#NoKings protest in Salt Lake City, Utah

We are Americans around the world and we showed up today! #democratsabroad #notyrants

People in Cambodia came out for #democratsabroad and #notyrants

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

#SteelCity says no fucking kings in Pittsburgh. #NoKings

Here's my report on the Santa Fe, NM No Kings demonstration!

DUBLIN, IRELAND: American immigrants protest at the US Embassy against the Trump administration in solidarity with #NoKingsDay #NoKings #3e

The revolution is full of 60-year-old women who love their trans kids.

There's a city council member in Lancaster, Pennsylvania claiming protesters are being paid *$6000-$12500* for showing up on Saturday. Which, to be clear, suggests that for Saturday alone someone is paying protesters between 18 and 62 billion dollars. Sounds like economic growth to me!

We need to start a movement to mask *everywhere” — to make it normal everywhere. Move the Overton Window for behavior in public — while caring for each other by preventing infection

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.

‘No Kings’ Protests Across the United States www.nytimes.com/2025/06/14/u...

It's not a MN protest without countless references to Prince and "Let's Go Crazy" on repeat.

New presidential portrait just dropped

I wonder if we'll ever have a count of how many protests there really were today. On the registered protests on nokings.org, I had my choice of five not far from where I live in Northern Virginia, and on the ten minute drive to the one I joined, I passed two others that weren't on the list! #NoKings
