send in the marines to detain the cops shooting at cops in LA

Why is germ theory in the same air quotes as "miasma theory," I ask as a historian of medicine who is very very tired

Ben Shapiro getting all upset at the parade coverage as though he isn't used to taking part in activities where no one comes

Before the cops in LA started escalating things for no reason it was funny how my main takeaway was how much people were looking out for each other in really helpful ways. I’ve never seen so many people with carts giving away free water, sunscreen, snacks, and masks to total strangers.

Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman was a friend who worked with Gabby to stop gun violence. We’re thinking of her children, who've now lost both their parents, and we’re praying for Sen. Hoffman and his wife, who are still fighting for their lives. Stay strong.

I’m Kat Abughazaleh and I approve this message.

🤦🏼‍♀️

the story today is of a profoundly low energy military parade being met with millions of americans in nationwide protests denouncing the dictatorial pretensions of the president

Nothing says "250th Army Celebration" like arresting a group of veterans… www.yahoo.com/news/police-...

Who was MN Rep. Melissa Hortman in the MN Legislature? READ about her consequential leadership in this THREAD by @taniel.bsky.social. Take the time.

this statement was made just yesterday

Here’s a New York Times photo of the Chicago “No Kings” rally. NYT said the march that followed spanned at least 10 blocks.

Proud of Minnesotans

#Boise #Idaho showing up for #NoKings

I love you Seattle. #abolishice #nokings

“No Kings” demonstration, Ocean Beach, San Francisco

Massive #NoKings march in New York City!

So important. This is America. Freedom, equality, democracy, human rights are not and never have been dictated by polling approval.

The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible

Trump parade vs No Kings march, San Diego

#NoKings New York

There's seriously no way he won 7 swing states...

Chicago ✊

WOW! We had 60,000 come out to march for #NoKings in San Diego! That’s just downtown. Zero arrests! AMAZING! www.kpbs.org/news/politic...

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

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.

they're having a hard time hiding their boredom

The photos coming from Trump’s birthday parade are just incredible. No one showed up.

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.

A Class Act 🔥🔥 One of the Best 🔥 #SheShed #ObamaAppreciation

Newsom’s social media team is killing it. (This isn’t an old picture. It’s from right now. I asked.) 😂😂😂😂

🏆 to whoever came up with and coordinated the No Kings protest at Ocean Beach, San Francisco. Don’t miss it…absolute fire.

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.

Omgggg

It doesn’t solve anything and it definitely doesn’t change anything but it is kind of nice to know that he knows that his big macho honk honk birthday parade sucked

It’s not just that they normalize political violence. They also accuse the left of engaging in mostly imaginary violence, which gives unhinged right-wingers justification to “retaliate.”

Can report a strong turnout at our local No Kings rally. Lots of American flag waving and supportive horn honking. Many homemade signs, some indignant, some witty. One that seemed particularly McLean appropriate: “If only Kamala had won, we’d all be at brunch.”

Houston NO KINGS

“Money for people, not parades!” say U.S. Veterans who held a sit-in on the steps of the Capitol. 60 Vets were arrested, including an elderly man with a walker. It’s immoral Trump has ended services for Americans while spending millions on a military parade #NoKings m.youtube.com/watch?v=5hDk...

Well past time for big city mayors to call for the arrest of anyone who claims to be law enforcement but wears a mask and/or won’t identify themselves

A Democratic Mayor arrested. A Democratic Congresswoman indicted. A Democratic Senator tackled and detained. A Democratic State Representative killed. A Democratic State Representative in critical condition. We can all see where this is going.

NEW: In the last few hours, Minnesota authorities warned people against attending protests, with a killer on the loose. This is the current view of the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul. DEFIANCE. 👏 #NoKings #50501Movement (📸 Daviss)

The East Coast has shown up, 2.4 million and counting, with massive turnouts in small towns across the country. Shoutout to the Carolinas, Georgia, and Ohio for showing up strong!

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

#NoKings

We have plenty of reasons to be in the streets today. But one big one is we’re marching because Rep. Melissa Hortman can’t. We’re sending love to her family, and we’re sending rage toward Washington, D.C.

3.2 million and counting, we see you, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Indiana! Incredible turnout, amazing job showing up! Side note: 10 MAGA agitators have been arrested. Thank you to everyone helping us track them down.
