No Kings Seattle. #nokings #Protests #Trump #Seattle

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

I’m glad normies are watching this play out in real time. I felt insane living in Seattle in 2020 trying to explain to people that cops/military are ALWAYS the ones escalating things into violence

Today was amazing: 70,000 in Seattle, over 2,000 in the small town east of Seattle where we protested, and more than 5 million recorded in attendance nationally versus the already historic 3 million in April. That’s 14% of the population—well above the 3.5% rule and growing with every gathering.

Ok- Now that you’ve marched in a parade, and seen you are not alone, it’s time to get to work! 1. Call congress people with number who marched (over 100K in seattle area). 2. Go support people running protests and vigils at ICE and DHS facilities. 3. Report ICE sightings via socials or apps.

As of 2025, Seattle's population is approximately 764,753. 10% of Seattle showed up at /this/ protest and there were more than just this one.

A little after 2 p.m., Seattle police reported on X the stream of people heading from Capitol Hill was over a mile-and-a-half long. Police wrote: “And not a single report of property damage.”

Seattle wants no kings. Seattle needs no kings.

The city is saying 70,000 people showed up to the #NoKings Seattle protest. That's 3.1% of the total population of the county! www.king5.com/article/news...

Hell yeah, Seattle! I'm in there, somewhere! #Seattle #NoKings #fiftyfiftyone #indivisible

this was confirmed. they told seattle immigrants to go to the tukwila dhs as it would be miles away from any of the protests. please, if you can, show up to protect your community !!

HONOR YOUR OATH, BITCH

after growing up in California i lived in some places where it's bad to be from California, so i downplayed that part of myself for a while. but this week has turned me back into a California evangelist. i'm Calimaxxing. certified Calihead. we got a fuckin' bear on our flag bro

I am as big a sucker as anyone for the fine-grained legal analysis, but I do sometimes worry it distracts us a little from the big, dumb, obvious points. This is appalling & precisely what the Framers were terrified of. Whether it’s technically legal if you squint right doesn’t change that.

He was also a committed slaveowner who brutalized the human beings he owned. He didn’t fight for honor.

My kids (who watched The 1618 Project with me in February) upon hearing about Brian Wilson: "Oh that band that stole from black people?" @nhannahjones.bsky.social

Worth considering that one reason Bluesky doesn't always feel super fun is that current events are relentlessly horrifying and bad

"There’s also a law on the books since 1866 that forbids placing the likeness of a living person on US currency. " So the question is... how badly do they want it? Suddenly the prospect doesn't seem so bad. Can we use his mugshot?

Harvard starting to 'get it' and opening up to everyone in the US with free, online civics classes about democracy is amazing. #EducationShouldBeFreeForAllAnywayHarvard #HowElseDoYouExpectToBuildTheFuture This is a good start. (sourced from Reddit)

if you're wondering why no bad things ever happen in russia...

I'm speechless

Journalism used to be a respectable vocation.

it's nice when the crowd chants "DEFENSE!" so that the players don't forget

“In the first three months, the Trump family has become $3 billion wealthier, so that’s a billion dollars a month.”

Shit like this is why we're finally moving the fuck out of Texas. (It got moved up a couple years in the five year plan.)

It remains unclear what exactly the administration means by “returning emergency management to the states” but the last time states were completely on their own with disasters was December 1802.

"In the future all colleges will be mines." Or something like that. I haven't seen Demolition Man in a minute.

Too real.
