As we confront horrific political violence in Minnesota, I write simply to thank all those who speak up for their community. Whether you speak in an official position or on the streets, thank you and please stay safe today and every day.

our rally was along Highway 20 which gets a lot of semi traffic and y’all the amount of truckers who honked for us? iconic

More people showed up in little ol’ Madison than at the wannabe dictator’s military parade. This is what democracy looks like! Photo by Omar Waheed 🇺🇸✊🏾 #PowerToThePeople #NoKings

You all may have bigger crowds but do you have a PROTEST DONKEY? 🥰 Forest Knolls, CA. I love this county.

Authorities asked for the public’s help in finding Vance Boelter. A nephew said John and Yvette Hoffman were both in stable condition as they recover from surgery.

Our military deserves better than this empty charade. Yikes. The tank squeaking over silence is incredible.

This time-lapse video of protesters marching down Broadway in Oakland for No Kings Day gives an idea of how many people turned out today @sfchronicle.com

“No Kings Day”: A compilation

20,000 people showed up for Trumps parade. 100,000 protesters showed up to Philadelphia alone! Millions nationwide. #NoKingsDay Success!

Best image of the day:

i'm surprised by how low energy and farcical that whole military parade situation was. I was expecting Moscow 1945 and we got Spirit Halloween instead.

One Minnesota.

This 'No Kings' crowd is lined up on the on-ramp to Little Rock's iconic Broadway Bridge to march across the Arkansas River to North Little Rock.

Colorado Springs! #NoKings

Y’all’s sign game was on point today 🏆

"Because we see our democracy's in real trouble. We see a president who has made himself a king and dictator." "We're disgusted and we're scared, and we know the only way to fight this now is for the people to come together." - @markruffalo.bsky.social on why he's at the #NoKings event in NYC

Minnesota’s flags will fly at half staff in honor and remembrance of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman. She woke up every morning determined to make Minnesota a better place, and she will be greatly missed.

I love you Seattle. #abolishice #nokings

Just finished up at the Evanston No Kings rally. It was safe, peaceful, and a show of solidarity by *at least* 1,000 people. Go to your local protest. Don’t let this administration scare you. Stand with your community when our leaders won’t.

Whose birthday?

San Diego showing up ✊

Couple things I learned today: - Seniors are extremely fired up about this - "Fuck ICE" is a normie position now - People are MASSIVELY pissed off about Sen. Padilla being wrestled to the ground in LA - We all we got, we all we need

San Diego showed up! June 14th. #nokings #nokingsday #resist #june14 #nokingsday

The tragedy currently taking place in MN is nothing short of horrific: democratically elected officials are victims of political violence in their own homes. I’m holding Speaker Hartman’s family in my heart and praying for the full recovery of senator Hoffman and his wife Yvette.

We’re closing in on the 3.5% rule! 8.6 million and counting! We’re in awe. Lots of events still happening make sure to be counted. Big towns, small towns you showed up.

For a small southern city in the heart of Trump country, today's No Kings protest (Florence, SC) was astounding. The last attendance estimates I heard were 300+ people. By my estimate, the response of honking passersby was overwhelmingly positive. Signs of hope.

Horrified by the sickening act of political violence in Minnesota. I pray for the family of Melissa Hortman and her husband, who were murdered in cold blood, and for the recovery of John Hoffman and his wife. The killer must be held accountable. This has no place in America.

It should not be lost on anyone that Minnesota Rep Melissa Hortman, who was shot to death in her home last night by an assassin, was a gun safety advocate who worked tirelessly to protect her constituents from gun violence.
