This seems to be catching on. Seeing La Migra? Follow them safely honking your horn. It warns families of color to be on guard and not open their doors.

The FBI is offering “a reward of up to $50,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Vance L. Boelter.” Boelter is a suspect in the targeted shooting of Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota.

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 death toll from heavy rains that inundated parts of San Antonio has risen to 13, and all those missing have been found.

This day is a vivid reminder that we don't know how the future will unfold. An assassination, a fascist parade, escalating war, detentions. And so many people protesting for democracy for the first time. To quote a sign I saw, "I didn't come out because I'm hopeful. I'm hopeful because we're here."

No Kings Everett, WA - great turnout! #NoKings #PNW #FDT

A Tennessee woman is studying to be a nurse and works nights cleaning buildings. ICE recently deported her husband, leaving her alone with three kids and another child on the way. She's about to lose her car and home. Would you consider donating to help? www.gofundme.com/f/urgent-hel...

What we are seeing in Los Angeles right now with #NoKings is after several hours of a massive protest that was 100%, law enforcement—abruptly and without provocation—began firing tear gas, flash bangs and pepper balls at protesters. It was broadcast live on air. “Unrest” is on them.

It is an absolutely incredible stretch to see in person

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.”

Last night, Capitol Police arrested roughly 60 veterans and their family members outside the U.S. Capitol. The group had gathered to hold a peaceful sit-in on the Capitol steps, but police intentionally set up a barrier of bike racks to prevent them from demonstrating.

Look what I found when I searched "ICE uniform" in Google Shopping. None of us have any way of knowing if the "ICE agent" pushing you into a car, isn't just some unbalanced vigilante into cosplay. These are very dangerous times.

Today, there are massive protests all over the US. People are building communities and networks and beginning to communicate, as a nation. This solidarity is absolutely necessary. If the nation is to lift off a dictatorship, there has to be a nation. #3E #NoKings www.patreon.com/posts/no-kin...

Heck yeah I love our city. Missoula, Montana No Kings :)

Assassinated. That's the word you're looking for @nytimes.com. remember how you used it for Trump? www.nytimes.com/2024/09/16/u...

If you or someone you are protesting with gets hit by one of these compounds, knowing how to act can help alleviate symptoms and provide relief. Read about what you need to know about these compounds, and what to do if you’re affected by it.

Adding: Hoffman entered public service because he could not get health insurance for Holly, now in her 20s, who was born with a disability and is now an amputee. He’s a relentless advocate. This morning his wife threw herself on Holly and was shot in her stead. MN disability community in shock.

@padilla.senate.gov: "We’re a co-equal branch of government, our job is oversight and accountability... If there's an opportunity for me to ask a question in-person at a press conference in my home state, that's me doing my job."

abcnews4.com/news/local/s... SC Senator Tom Fernandez showed his truth to his constituents today. I hope the SC Senate will handle him appropriately while the voters handle him in 2026. #scpol Otherwise all events have been peaceful! #nokings #50501sc

The protest stories from my parents’ retirement communities are amazing. Budgets for sign making committee, transportation sign ups, walker brigade v mobility carts fracas. Fired up seniors are something to behold.

The “No Kings” protest in my hometown of Huntington, New York is growing bigger and bigger by the minute. There literally are people up and down the block as far as the eye can see!! ✊🇺🇸 #NoKingsDay

Ya’ll, today Atlanta skipped right past “bless his heart” and called Trump out for what he is: a PUNK ASS BITCH 🖕 #nokings #atlanta

St. Paul did not cancel. We showed up in BIG numbers.

Y’all. Today was a mixture of horror (at the murders in MN) and triumph (of over 2K peaceful No Kings Day demonstrations). Raise a glass to yourselves and to the victims of fascism and take an early night. The fight begins anew tomorrow.

No Kings Protest Downtown Livingston Montana

Live look at Detroit, Michigan. Let's go, Motor City! Even Fox's streaming channel is calling the No Kings Day rallies "massive." 🍿

Hundreds showed up for the "No Kings" rally in Riverdale, Maryland, today, with the Rapid Response choir singing a #WoodieGuthrie song. #riverdale #maryland #NoKings #NoKingsInAmerica @indivisiblepgc.bsky.social @rapidresponsechoir.bsky.social @SSPAction1 @IndivisibleRt1Corridor

A traffic stop is causing outrage, after a young man born and raised on Long Island was pulled over and searched by ICE agents. He said it was simply because he’s Latino. When ICE found out he’s a U.S. citizen, they let him go—without giving an explanation or apology—but the damage was already done.

i remember watching the ferguson protest live and seeing cops deliberately escalate when the crowd was entirely peaceful. told a friend; they couldn't believe it. hope people see and believe their own eyes now.

5+ MILLION people joined over 2,100 rallies across the nation today, in an act of peaceful resistance and community solidarity. Thanks to everyone who exercised your First Amendment rights and showed our collective power. Get home safe — and make a plan to organize with your local ACLU affiliate.💪

Thousands gathered to join nationwide "No Kings" protests on the birthday of President Trump at Niagara Square on Saturday.

Los Angeles, 20 minutes ago, LAPD on horses charging into crowd. Activists taught me that the extra long wooden riot batons they use are bokken – specialized Japanese swords. (istg)

NOW: Hundreds have taken the streets of Austin in an impromptu march following the conclusion of the #NoKings rally at the Capitol. Starting separate thread to track the march here.

The #Chicago police were looking for a fight at the end of the #NoKings march when they blocked off all the exits to the plaza to prevent people from continuing to PEACEFULLY protest. Looks like they found a fight later at Ida B Wells. Who do you protect? Who do you serve? Not the people, obviously.

Demonstrators came out in cities across the U.S. to protest President Trump. Organizers of Saturday's "No Kings" demonstrations said millions marched in hundreds of events.

Wilmington, NC IN THE HOUSE!

assassins dress like cops bc that’s who’s allowed to murder people in broad daylight

🚨 VEHICULAR ASSAULT in San Francisco 🚨 Just received a report from someone OTG: "Tesla asshole hit an old man. MD and EMT appeared outta nowhere and helped out. Paramedics arrived after 5 minutes. They caught the Tesla. Plenty of abrasions and bleeding and possibly broken leg (per EMT)"

@profciara.bsky.social Rainy but exhilarating day in Stamford, CT. NO KINGS!
