The LAPD shot teargas at hundreds of grandmothers expressing disgust with the sort of politics that would justify shooting teargas at grandmothers.

More than 80,000 people in Minnesota! Unbelievable picture!

it is, again, intensely funny that the entire country threw a massive "fuck that guy's birthday party" party in response to trump's birthday party

Executive order making it illegal to comment on the attendance at the birthday parade

ABC HEADLINE: “Massive” Parade NBC VIDEO: actually nah Guess firing terry moran for him wasn’t enough, abc ? 🤔

Holy crap! No Kings Philly.

A listless speech from a draft-dodger who has denigrated the army for nearly 80 years and degraded it since he became commander-in-chief produces virtually no reaction from the crowd. And then they sing happy birthday as if there would be a firing squad if they did not.

Absolutely brutal own goal from San Diego FC gifts #MNUFC a 1-0 lead

I think the key to understanding every soldier's lack of caring in this parade is to know that this is a three-day-weekend for most of the rest of the Army, in honor of the Army's birthday.

Omgggg

LAPD and LA Sheriffs tried to prevent two large protests from joining together in downtown and both departments ended up hitting EACH OTHER with impact munitions from across the same interesection.

This kind of turnout in Thousand Oaks, of all places, is bonkers.

"TikTokers Are Claiming Credit For Trump’s Parade Attendance. Across social media, people claimed to have reserved tickets en masse to Trump’s birthday parade with no intent of showing up." www.forbes.com/sites/emilyb...

the Times got this right

A motorist struck at least four protesters in SF - incident now being investigated as possibly intentional. — www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

San Diego showing up ✊

What if you pissed away 45 million dollars on your own birthday party, and nobody showed up because they went to one of hundreds of massive "f*ck you and your birthday" parties instead?

Troops marching out of step behind an empty mobile country and western stage captures everything our commander-in-chief has brought to our military.

It is official! Despite tanks and planes, Trump’s parade was “listless and low-energy.”

Today in Boston. Over a million people turned out. Even the drone couldn't get it all. #NoKingsDay #BostonStrong #ICEProtest

The largest protests in US history being completely peaceful demonstrate pretty clearly who the violent agitators are

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.

I don't know if this needs to be said or not but "elected official assassinated in their home" is simply not a thing that happens in this country. 1825, 1889, 1893, 1973. Those are all the ones I can find, ever, before today.

Unreal levels of Trump's America here.

The crowd has at least doubled in the last half hour and folks are still coming in from every direction. Also by far the most diverse of any of these events this year. This crowd just looks a hell of lot more like #Baltimore. Impeccable vibes, too. #NoKings

1. Let's put this together. The assassin appears to be the follower of the New Apolostolic Reformation, which holds that American society is literally under demonic possessions. (And you, dear reader, are one of the demon.) www.wired.com/story/shooti...

Lots of empty space on the mall half an hour before the parade starts.

I love that a politician can say something like “I believe mice naturally spawn out of grain” and the news will now just treat that as a legitimate line of thought

Cops are shooting teargas in downtown LA. Not good.

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

how'd you mess up so bad you couldn't even get vehicle-americans like our nation's four year olds out to this

One block over from the White House: the aspirational security line setup

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

What a contrast: On the one hand, one grandiose spectacle in the nation's capital, a panorama of propaganda put on by an aspiring autocrat. On the other hand, thousands of assemblies of free citizens across the nation, authentic celebrations of the proposition that here the people rule.

I did not edit this, this is the actual parade with the actual music being played. CINEMATIC

thread on what law enforcement officials had to say about the assassination of Rep. Melissa Hortman and the attempted assassination of Sen. John Hoffman

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.

KARE 11 TV in the Twin Cities reports that Vance Boelter's best friend says Boelter voted for Trump and is "a strong supporter"

A lot of people are cringe and the most "edgy" political thing they've encountered is Hamilton and you're just going to have to live with that and be glad they're not at home OD'ing on white nationalist propaganda. They will be cringe and you can be like, jesus christ that's cringe. It's all fine.
