It’s not hyperbole to say that the deaths in Minnesota are on the GOP’s hands. They’ve built this political environment and they’ve allowed a demagogue to spread hate. This is entirely on them.

The Republican bill is incredibly unpopular. It would hurt millions & give tax cuts to billionaires. Make the politics SO toxic that Republicans have to rework the budget framework completely. Protest! Resist! Join together to fight back!

A massive No Kings demonstration marches in Portland, Oregon June 14, 2025 #NoKings

More than 1 million in Boston! www.wcvb.com/article/more...

We’re honored to report that over 11 million showed up for today’s No Kings protest, and totals are still coming in. Just… wow. WOW 😮! There’s nothing more to say.

Bennington, Vermont says "No Kings!" @wethepeopledissent.bsky.social

Holy shit, New York! Here’s the full view. #NoKings #50501Movement

Big turnout in Boise, Idaho for the #NoKings rally

@ityslmemes.com

It's 2025. Why are they so afraid to accurately estimate and report crowd sizes? ??!

Dallas turned out with at least 10,000 marching for #NoKingsDay

Obama is the best of ‘em!

Raskin: You are not our king, and we are not your subjects. We will never be your subjects. All of us born here on this land are citizens and your executive order is nothing but bad graffiti on the Constitution, and we're going to wash it off today

THIS THIS THIS THIS

Well played, sir. #NoKingsDay

Be warned

Philly showin' up today

Ok to recap in SF: biggest crowd I’ve ever seen in Dolores Park, slowly marching down Dolores, Market and Van Ness, gathering people along h to r way. I’d say 40K minimum, could be a lot more. Vibes are great. Cops guarding Gov buildings and freeway entrances, otherwise not present.

Chardon, Ohio, population 5242 in 2020 census, had approximately 400 people show up in the rain. #nokings

I love you Seattle. #abolishice #nokings

Charleston ❤️‍🔥

Chicago’s “No Kings” rally has started downtown with speeches, shouts and a march, part of a national slate of events planned around the country to protest President Donald Trump’s policies and agenda.

Boston showed up for No Kings Day!

Reporter: I'm going to show you what 20,000 people in the streets of downtown Los Angeles looks like

Massive #NoKings march in New York City!

If you take one thing away from today, let it be that we outnumber them.

Over 4.8 million and counting and many events haven’t even kicked off yet. We’re aiming for over 10 million today to hit the 3.5% rule. The crowds are massive and still growing. We are so proud of all of you. Huge shoutout to Texas you showed up!

Los Angeles. Just wow.

Stay classy, San Diego. #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.

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.

Crowd sizes he could only dream of 💋✨️ #nokings #nokingsday

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

It's hard to understate how important Representative & former Speaker Hortman was to Minnesota politics - she was probably the most prominent woman politician & integral to the recent budget deal. She was also incredibly kind and a real person - Kiernan sold her girl scout cookies. It's horrifying.

Since our nation’s birth, we’ve made it clear that no one person should hold power. No kings. No crown. No abuse of power.

Shortly after the Atlanta #nokings event kicked off at 10, organizers said Liberty Plaza near the state Capitol had already reached maximum capacity of 5,000.

One thing that stood out really powerfully in last night's mayoral debate is that Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander both operate from the premise that New York City is a wonderful and beautiful and precious place. Andrew Cuomo does not.

For women, for seniors, for the future of NYC: don't rank Cuomo.

“Pretty much wherever you are, you’re probably less than 30 minutes away from your closest No Kings event.” - @leahgreenberg.bsky.social with @democracynow.org We hope to see you at your local #NoKings Day mobilization on Saturday: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

J U N E * 1 4 is INTERNATIONAL KNIT IN PUBLIC DAY "This is exactly what we will be doing on Saturday: knitting a peaceful resistance to dictatorship, to the politics of cruelty." www.latimes.com/opinion/stor... nationaltoday.com/internationa... #june14 #knitinpublicday #nokings

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

Double.

America has never been broke. It’s just violently anti-poor. Troops in LA cost $134M — the price of 44 million school lunches. But sure, let’s keep pretending the issue is lazy parents and not a government that eats kids for breakfast.

MAYOR BASS: “It’s completely unnecessary… They’re guarding one federal building... This is all part of an experiment: What happens when the federal government intervenes and takes power away from a governor and mayor?"
