Sums it up. Peaceful but pissed! #ferndalemichigan #nokings

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

No Kings in Pittsburgh. Peaceful and well-organized.

I want you to remember this... everyday

The blue dot of Louisville Kentucky

The people united will never be defeated. What I see today at #NoKings in Philly and around the country are patriotic Americans choosing community over chaos. We believe in our democracy.

I am devastated by the loss of Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, in a horrifying act of violence. Our prayers are with their children and all who loved them, and with State Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, who were also targeted.

BREAKING: Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were fatally shot and a second lawmaker and his spouse were injured in separate "politically motivated" shootings, officials say. The suspect, who is still at large, allegedly impersonated a police officer. nbcnews.app.link/Q007CiXdcUb

Proud of Minnesotans

No Kings/Dicktators! Surprise, AZ

Florida AG is threatening to remove this sheriff, who just isn't that into mass deportations, and not the sheriff who threatened to kill people. floridaphoenix.com/2025/06/09/b...

"This is the moment in history that we will look back on and say, 'Where were you when? Where were you when we were watching dictators take over?'" @ariberman.bsky.social reports from New Paltz, NY where State Senator (D) Michelle Hinchey speaks.

How can one be accused of assaulting a federal officer (ICE) if the person hasn’t been shown actual federal credentials during the encounter? This essentially means ANYONE can kidnap you, and you assume that fighting back when some random stranger forces you into a car could get you arrested. #ICE

RALEIGH. #NoKingsDay

Los Angeles. Just wow.

The man who launched an attempted coup on the United States in 2020 and instigated an insurrection at the Capitol that resulted in five deaths now claims that people in LA are launching an insurrection. They’re not. This guy telling you LA is on fire is the same guy that told you to drink bleach.

Rally hasn’t even started yet and Ann Arbor is out in the streets as far as the eye can see. 🇺🇸 WE THE PEOPLE!

Thousands of protesters turned out in downtown Dallas.

It has happened - military arrests civilian protester.

Canadian 🇨🇦 Geese approved of this message 🇺🇸 NO KINGS IN USA 🇺🇸

“If ICE is going to wear a mask in their uniform, then I can.”

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

"Sheriff has history of cop-like behavior"

Assassins dress like cops & the secret police wear masks and no ID

law enforcement officials say they made a proactive check at Rep. Hortman's home after a lawmaker who lived nearby was shot and found a "police vehicle in the driveway with emergency lights and what appeared to be a police officer at the door coming out of the house." He was actually the gunman.

Horrifying news out of Minnesota this morning as political violence takes the lives of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. @Chasten and I are holding their loved ones in our hearts and praying for State Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette as they recover.

It should not be lost on anyone that Minnesota Rep Melissa Hortman, who was shot to death in her home last night by an assassin, was a gun safety advocate who worked tirelessly to protect her constituents from gun violence.

Veterans for Peace are in DC today protesting Trump’s military parade, cuts to VA benefits, and US military being deployed on America’s streets. “BENEFITS NOT BULLSHIT!” LFG. 🔥

Governor Walz

Philly showin' up today

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!

Hudson Valley erupted with hundreds marching in the "No Kings" rally, sending a powerful message against tyranny in one of the nation’s key battleground states. The fight for democracy is far from over. #NoKings #HudsonValley #TyrannyFighters #BattlegroundState www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Out of an abundance of caution my Department of Public Safety is recommending that people do not attend any political rallies today in Minnesota until the suspect is apprehended.

No Kings flagship rally in Philadelphia opens with Rev. Barber: We have heard that lawmakers in Minnesota have been killed…In this moment, my brothers and sisters, let us repent as a nation for all of this violence and death.

“Here we are, Mr. Trump. While you’re trying to destroy 🇺🇸, we’re trying to build it up.”

Good morning friends ☀️☕️ I wish you a nice safe Friday and weekend! 💙😃

ICYMI — Some harsh self-criticism here: “Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He’s weak and he’s ineffective.” (He was talking about Obama 😬)

DEVELOPING: A manhunt is underway in Minnesota for a suspect in the “targeted shootings” of Democratic state lawmakers. The assailant, who remains at large, allegedly impersonated a police officer. One lawmaker and her spouse were fatally shot, while a second lawmaker and his spouse were injured.

MAJOR BREAKING: Governor Walz has announced that Democratic Rep. Melissa Hortman is dead after a "politically motivated assassination.” Trump owns this political climate. 100%.

Secretary Noem loves dressing up in costume and pretending like everything is reality TV, but the fact of the matter is Senator Padilla clearly identified himself and should not have been thrown to the ground and detained. Even *Corey Lewandowski* knows that.

Sen. BOOKER: It is a clear violation of statute to send the National Guard into Los Angeles around the governor’s office, right? Constitutional law expert: The statute requires the orders to be through the governor. He was bypassed.

No Kings Day” protest in West Palm Beach, Florida — miles from Mar-a-Lago!

Sen. SCHIFF: There are laws that say you can’t use the military for domestic law enforcement. Why? Constitutional law expert: This goes back to our founding. We did not want our military engaging in domestic law enforcement at the behest of potentially corrupt politicians.

The L.A. protesters have really gone too far this time… 🌼

This is 💯 on DHS and their cosplaying masked thugs terrorizing our communities There have been other instances of criminal acts by impostors No More Masked Unidentified ICE Cosplayers! it’s against the law for a reason!! @padilla.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social
