Like 11 million people perfectly capable of marching and yelling a bunch without anything violent happening until the most consistently terrified people on the planet (cops) decide to start shit

I hope everyone realizes how absolutely abhorrent and diabolical this is. #resist

Compilation of massive 'NO KINGS!' protests today ✊ #NoKings

Live your life in such a way that the entire country doesn’t come together to protest you on your birthday.

At Trump's measly parade, the Army's speaker blared 'Unfortunate Son', that famous song about the people who were forced into the military while draft dodgers like Trump simply paid for a phony doctor's note. The bored troops also marched in the sloppiest lines that would make Patton slap a haux.

Well, the man who shot the Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota is a hardcore Trump supporter. What a surprise. Prepare for the MAGA spin. Political violence is un-American. We stand with those who serve and commit to a civic life rooted in peace, dignity, and dialogue. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Weird how rain didn’t stop protesters across America

🏆 to whoever came up with and coordinated the No Kings protest at Ocean Beach, San Francisco. Don’t miss it…absolute fire.

This is my hometown, and my fellow Hispanic Dems @dhcfmiami.bsky.social who showed up with our TRAITORS truck to reject the wannabe dictator in the White House. We will never bow or bend the knee to him or anyone who disrespects our nation, Constitution, and our Hispanic community. #NoKings

Do you know how badly you have to screw up as a Republican to get this kind of turnout in IDAHO? #NOKINGS

And there it is. The Minnesota assassin who shot Democratic lawmakers “voted for Donald Trump and was a strong Trump supporter,” according to his best friend.

The violence is all on the right wing. www.fox5dc.com/news/man-dri...

New York City says fuck the Trump regime and his loyalist ICE forces. The real America rejects fascism. (📹 @cindygallop.bsky.social ) #3E #NoKings #NoKingsDay

Chicago showed the fuck up!

“All politics is local.” Tip O’Neill

walked five miles today through a sea of humanity bonded in solidarity against fascist assholes without so much as a whiff of violence and it was lovely

This is precisely the concern I raised with Gov. Walz on Thursday, and which today has tragically become reality. Masked ICE agents make it easier for criminals to impersonate law enforcement.

Literally the Russian flag in the post. Two of them

It's the internet! It's literally just the internet! Please just go take five minutes to read what I wrote about it stancilculture.substack.com/p/the-intern...

Boelter’s roommate also said that Vance would often do odd jobs like taking “dead bodies to the morgue“ and, “removing the eyeballs from corpses for research“

Melissa Hortman, the former Minnesota House speaker felled by an assassin’s bullet, understood what democracy looks like. She achieved far more using democracy’s humble but ultimately exhilarating tools than any violent fanatic ever will. My column www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Love this man!

Caroline Dias Goncalves is being held in a detention cell with 17 other women, under harsh conditions, a relative told The Tribune. They said she is being treated roughly and they are worried about her mental state.

None of these Trump people act as if there will be midterm elections in 2026. Or elections beyond that.

This is what I lose sleep over

As I predicted on air tonight @cnn.com Judge Breyer: "Defendants are temporarily ENJOINED from deploying members of the California National Guard in Los Angeles. Defendants are DIRECTED to return control of the California National Guard to Governor Newsom" storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Perfection.

This video shows what happened to Sen. Padilla after they forcibly removed him from Kristi Noem's press conference. He's given orders from the officers that would cause him to smash his face, then pushed to the ground and handcuffed. Via: x.com/elex_michael...

This is rather well put. In a week: a Member of Congress criminally charged with protest, a Senator handcuffed, a union leader charged, the military on the streets of a major city against the wishes of the governor and mayor while the Federal government claims it's "liberating" the people there...

This is the cycle: raid, escalate, criminalize the response, send in troops. ICE raids are not neutral, they’re psychological warfare on communities, and now they’re using military backup. This isn’t enforcement. It’s state-sponsored intimidation.

Quick question — the governor of California controls the national guard so how is this going to work?

The most striking thing about the LA protests is how many people just dropped everything to show up and yell at federal agents. There are people in suits, and carrying dogs, and wearing flip flops or bike helmets. These are not people who planned to do this today. But there they are.

Phang: We are just 19 weeks—approximately—into the second term of the Trump administration. We have another three and something years to go, people. We cannot allow the DOJ to be led by a lackey of Donald Trump. That is the type of shit you see in a dictatorship.
