The stupidest people are in charge because we couldn’t prosecute a political crime because it would look too political.

Sweet smoke of rhetoric!

If President Trump intends to get the U.S. more involved in the war between Israel and Iran by attacking Iran, he must come to the Congress, make his case, and secure an authorization before he pulls our country into yet another war in the Middle East. x.com/rachelvscott...

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten… every date has been altered. And that process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” - 1984, George Orwell

For the absolute last time: I *never* said I thought E.T. dressed in the wig and the dress was sexy, I said *I could see why people would think that*

Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop! Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels

This is serious, rigorous analysis and it should change the way the media has been covering these protests. These were, in the aggregate, *massive.*

No Kings includes Draft Kings

In a Gangster State, the dear leader wastes other people's money on military parades to broadcast his fake strength, attacks the legislative branch and destroys programs that benefit the people.

Opinion | To stop Republicans from killing them, Democrats must look inward.

We should make June 14th No Kings Day permanently.

Sorry am I his numbers are so few

Proud of my city <3! #nokings

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.

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.

hearing the sad squeak of the tanks over the music, and no cheering is really something

Political violence is always unacceptable. This is a horrifying day for Minnesota, and a sad day for America. What has occurred is a direct attack on our American values and democracy.

No kings

There is only one side in American politics that consistently supports and endorses political violence. People need to stop being afraid to say so.

Really hard to overstate the extent to which opposition to the current administration is the default position of normal people. They’re handing out kazoos. There’s bubble machines

WEHO #NoKings

Tim Snyder: Today no kings, tomorrow freedom. There is a better America out there. There is a better America underneath. There is a better America that we can see. There is a better America that we can make. History is in our hands.

Can’t believe we’ve lost Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark. She was a consummate Speaker who led her caucus brilliantly and achieved so much for Minnesota. I’ve campaigned with Melissa throughout the state and was forever impressed by her levelheaded, yet passionate, leadership. (1/2)

Masked agents in unmarked cars disappearing people from the street and shipping them to a dictator’s prison. Executive branch officials blowing off federal court orders, wrestling members of Congress to the ground and handcuffing them for asking a question. Smells like fascism.

Today, I stand with the millions of Americans making clear this country doesn't belong to a king. It’s a democracy, and it belongs to the people.

Praetorian Guard Security Services? You have got to be shitting me. The writers have just given up. This is lazy.

Despite warnings from the law enforcement not to attend today’s No Kings rally after this mornings shooting of Minnesota lawmakers with the killer on the lose, the No Kings Rally is happening at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul.

remembering headlines from last year

Tim Snyder: We don't want kings, we don't want fascists, we don't want oligarchs for very simple reasons -- those people cannot represent us! They are surrounded by the hirelings, by the minions, by the bootlicking billionaires.

Next time!! #resist #chant

We have entered the "The police is saying that if the police is at your door you are not safe call the police immediately" stage of making America great again

[Exit King.]

if u see someone protesting in this shirt, no u didn't

Alternatively, “Thousands of Americans expected to take to the streets in defense of their neighbors and their democracy” www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

anti-trump rallies rule because it’s like 90% “dump the orange taco” signs and 10% one dude in a cloak holding a refrigerator box that says “TRUMP is the seventh branch of the tree of baphomet, as foretold in the lost psalms of melchior” and everyone else is just like hell yeah, brother 👍

Especially if you're on the fence about it, protest today. Fascism is isolating and lonely. Its very goal is to make you feel like you're the only person unwilling to accept a cult of personality. On days like today you fully realize there are more of us than there are them. You will feel better.

AOC: "They have released chaos in LA by violently raiding & ripping apart peaceful public spaces, and now they are tackling & arresting US sitting members of Congress, while going on the record & lying about what happened.

Remember that authoritarians are always trying to create crises or take advantage of existing crises as a "state of exception," which gives them more power and abrogates any established restraints.
