The residents of Hattiesburg, Missisisppi, who showed up for the #NoKings protest today were quite energized. Here are a few of the scenes.

Serendipitously ended up joining #Pride in Rome today…so much solidarity, love and defiance 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇵🇸🇮🇹❤️❤️❤️

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

Protesters have formed a human banner at Ocean Beach, San Francisco this afternoon. 👏👏 #NoKings #50501Movement (📸 Santiago Mejia/San Francisco Chronicle)

Proud of Minnesotans

Massive #NoKings march in New York City!

My 97 year old grandma's text to the family chat yesterday. She's checking everyone off her list today as we report in with photo evidence!

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

Wilmington, NC showed up and showed out for #NoKings so damn proud of my fellow North Carolinians for standing up for Democracy. In America we don’t do Kings.

On the Ben Franklin Parkway, they keep coming and coming

Chicago is showing up.

Philly showin' up today

“No Kings”. Los Angeles. Just wow. Americans all across the country are rising up in protest of Donald Trump.

Los Angeles. Just wow.

Stay classy, San Diego. #NoKings

😳 Thousands have come out bright and early to the ‘No Kings’ protest in San Diego. People here are speaking out against ICE and the deployment of the military in LA.

BREAKING: TWO DEMOCRATIC LAWMAKERS SHOT IN THEIR HOMES IN MINNESOTA IN A TARGETED ASSASSINATION…👇 Sadly. Fascism. Is. Here. ✨

A female democratic representative was killed in Minnesota today by someone impersonating a cop. Turns out the threat to women's safety isn't trans women identifying as woman, it's men identifying as cops.

Sen. Cory Booker: When you see a democratic nation having their executive begin to arrest mayors, begin to arrest judges, begin to arrest a United States senator who was simply asking for answers to their questions [...] this is something that we should not tolerate.

These people are why we can afford food.

These are the people that make America great 🇲🇽🇺🇸

“If you spit on us, you are going to the hospital….” Free to forecast your intent to engage in police brutality in the state of Florida, & w/this DOJ.

BREAKING: Senator Padilla after being thrown to ground and cuffed: “If this is how this administration responds to a senator with a question, if this is how the department of homeland security responds to a senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers..."

Reuters: JUDGE ORDERS CALIFORNIA NATIONAL GUARD RETURNED TO GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM'S CONTROL - COURT RULING

Italy, France, Britain, Germany—even Russia—achieved greatness before falling back (sometimes into tyranny and dictatorship). But in the US the fall has been especially galling. Oscar Wilde said, “The US is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without passing through civilization.”

Call your senators, demand they shut the Senate down.

SCHATZ: "This is the stuff of dictatorships. He identified himself. That should be enough."

For God's sake, just SAY IT!!

Newsom: "He's been a stone cold liar about what he said we talked about. He never discussed the National Guard. Period. Full stop. I would love to share with you what he actually talked about. It would send shivers up your spine."

Ouch!

It’s completely insane that US troops are illegally deployed to suppress domestic opposition and it’s not uniformly condemned by the press and political elite.

OOPS: Attorney for Proud Boys in their lawsuit against DOJ may not be allowed to practice law because of a prior felony conviction he appears not to have disclosed, according to the magistrate judge handling the case. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I'm chanting for DISCOVERY.....

👀 Are you paying attention #IOC? Move the Olympics. International athletes aren't safe here.

I recently gave my first major political speech of this campaign season to retire Lauren Boebert. Like, share, follow, pitch in if you can. LET'S GO!!

This is insane. When Dems are in power the Repubs become fake "budget hawks," so the needy get fewer programs. When Repubs have power they explode the deficit to give to the wealthy AND stick a shiv in the ribs if the working class. Disgusting!

I love these protest signs Thank you ladies 💙🌊🦋 #Resist

She Won. They Didn't Just Change the Machines. They Rewired the Election. open.substack.com/pub/thiswill...

This is insane. The biosphere is largely on fire literally due to fossil fuels, and he goes after windmills. It doesn't even make ANY sense. There is moneey to be made in sustainable energy too! - as Elon for one has demonstrated.

The right to peacefully protest is fundamental. It is in the Constitution. No president can nullify it—because in the United States of America, we have no kings. Join @indivisible.org and more this weekend to make your voice heard: www.nokings.org
