Two phrases that need to be retired: “We are better than this.” (We’re not.) The U.S. president is “the leader of the free world.” (He’s not.)

“No Kings” demonstration, Ocean Beach, San Francisco

Colorado Springs! #NoKings

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.

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!

Houston NO KINGS

Hell yes, Olympia #nokings!

There is a huge crowd in #Iowa City for the #NoKings protest.

Hudson Valley erupted with hundreds marching in the "No Kings" rally, sending a powerful message against tyranny in one of the nation’s key battleground states. The fight for democracy is far from over. #NoKings #HudsonValley #TyrannyFighters #BattlegroundState www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

#NoKings #Nashville today. There were several giant groups spread over a wide area of the park. Unscientific estimate 10,000 people. #WeThePeople #Resist

They just kept coming! Fort Collins, #Colorado says absolutely #NoKings

“No Kings,” Houston, TX

#NoKings protest in Philadelphia

The Los Angeles crowd is enormous now spanning city blocks. This is all from the same shot. I couldn’t get everyone in one photo. #NoKings

👑🚫 LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA NO KINGS / ICE Protests

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.

😳 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.

Fox News and GOP are beginning lies to say gunman hated both parties or was a Democrat. In reality The list of people he was going to kill include Dozens of Minnesota Democrats and pro-abortion activists. ZERO reporting he was targeting any GOPers. abcnews.go.com/US/gov-walz-...

okay so we've got -- DHS goons handcuffing a U.S. Senator -- Marines in LA violating posse comitatus -- political assassinations in MN And that's just, like, the last couple of days

Has the White House made a statement about Minnesota? Has Trump called Gov. Walz? How has Patel responded? How have other Republican elected officials responded? Just asking. Not seeing reporting on these things.

What happened in Minnesota is a direct consequence of the violent way that Trump talks about his political opponents.

Any person in uniform wearing a mask and refusing to be properly and reliably identified should be assumed to be the same kind of murderer we’ve seen in Minnesota.

The Minnesota assassinations, the attempted arson at Governor Shapiro's home, and the violent arrest of Senator Padilla are all straight out of the Jim Crow terrorism playbook. Same goes with cops aiming for journalists covering the ICE protests. None of these are new tactics, just a new iteration.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

US Veterans peacefully protesting Trump’s military birthday parade arrested at Capitol Hill. This is the moment a 80+ year old US veteran is taken away in handcuffs for practicing his 1st Amendment right. #3E #NoKings #NoKingsProtests (🎥 @gregjstoker.bsky.social )

SCOOP: Details about Saturday’s “No Kings” protest are under watch by domestic intelligence centers, where analysts regularly distribute speculative threat assessments among federal, state, and local agencies, according to an internal alert obtained by WIRED. UNPAYWALLED:

Local media reporting that the victims appear to be two Democratic state lawmakers and a spouse. No word on injuries. This is really, really dark news to wake up to.

🇺🇸 In Los Angeles, Marines detained a U.S. Army veteran who was heading to the VA office at the federal building they were guarding. He wasn’t protesting—just crossing a taped boundary. He was zip-tied, held on the ground, and handed over to DHS. This is how we treat veterans now?

"The administration made the move after Geo donated over $4m to the president and Republican leadership, as well as Trump’s inauguration fund." PRIVATE PRISON COMPANY THAT HOUSES ICE DETAINEES AVOIDS FINE AFTER MILLIONS DONATED TO TRUMP AND REPUBLICANS. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Just listened to a CNN segment that Iran could activate its cells in U.S. to carry out attacks. And my thoughts immediately went to Trump shifting counterterrorism units to immigration and putting a 22 year, whose experience includes assistant in a grocery store, in charge of terrorism prevention

A reminder that the MAGA regime destroyed the nuclear deal that President Obama had secured with Iran and now the orange felon is trying to copy what Obama already did before he fucked it all up. What a deranged idiotic sadistic criminal asshole.

“Practically speaking, it means people are sleeping on the floor, they may not be getting enough food, they’re almost certainly not getting adequate medical care.” NO GOING AFTER CRIMINALS, JUST PUMPING UP THE NUMBERS TO MEET A QUOTA. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

US scrambles to bring back VOA’s Persian service amid Iran-Israel conflict. Staggering incompetence by the Trump Admin that just keeps breaking things on purpose only to later realize those things might be needed. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Wouldn't it be great of something like this happened at Trump's birthday party tomorrow.

Trump ICE regime forces attacked US citizens in Delaney Hall Detention Center in Newark New Jersey, the brave crowd refused to back down despite the violence from the regime thugs. #3E #StopICE (🎥 @peterhvideo)
