my twin peaks watch group keeps making jokes that rfk looks just like leland palmer so I made this in a fugue state

even after an incredible day of protests, it’s impossible for me not to end it by thinking about the murder of rep. melissa hortman and what it portends.

Dear Kristi Noem, #NoKings

just a reminder that Rania Khalek is an extremely bad actor. Assad apologist, Putin apologist, genocide denier; generally horrible. I know people see her saying the right things about Palestine and so might repost her but she's really no good. I'd just suggest blocking.

The violence reported is that two people drove their cars into protesters.

I still miss him

They’re maliciously complying. They know that this is a bullshit detail, and they’re present because they’ve been ordered to be there. They are not only smart enough to know how to march on step, it takes thought to not. Ask yourself why they’re not.

I find the #NoKings rallies almost overwhelming in number and scope. Truly a hopeful day. There’s a tiny voice that nags at me though. Where was this energy in November. How could people have not seen this coming.

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.

this dragass, drab, chudbro snoozefest has got to be all hegseth and vance, and it’s the *polar fucking opposite* of what you want in a parade

Not to get too hopeful on main but fascism hinges on the projection of strongman invincibility and every ding and crack in that image is a win for resistance. And boy howdy was there some good dinging and cracking delivered today

I assumed this was a bit. It’s not a bit. Dear god.

B B B B but but but he had that certificate thing from Walz!!!11!1!1!111!!!!

no… no, they can’t possibly be… oh my god, they wouldn’t… they can’t be… YES, THEY ARE PLAYING FORTUNATE SON

this man is realizing what the reaction is going to be when he dies

I have been trying to get into Trump's parade for 30 minutes now. I have walked many blocks with hundreds of confused, frustrated people.

fatty made the local marcher feed on facebook

So proud to be a part of this amazing morning. Location ocean beach San Francisco #nokings

Authoritarians depend on fear. Democracy depends on each other.

BREAKING: MAJOR crowd PROBLEMS for Donald Trump

Incredible turnout for the #NoKings protest in Los Angeles!

1m people allegedly in boston today. the scale of this is just crazy. i think record-breaking www.wcvb.com/article/more...

So if he believes this, he ought to be in favor of masks and improved air cleanliness and pushing other federal departments to create campaigns to fund upgraded HVAC and building ventilation. But of course he isn't, because he's just a fucking grifter getting rich off children's deaths.

The Pretty in Pink/Back to the Future crossover you’ve been waiting for. #NoKings Los Angeles!!! (Leah Thompson is a real one)

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

IF THERE'S MONEY FOR A PARADE, THEN THERE'S MONEY FOR MEDICAID!

Authorities have released screenshots from security camera footage revealing that the suspect in the Minnesota assassination and assassination attempts, Vance Boelter, was wearing a latex mask when he approached the homes of the elected officials.

Everyone focus and intend for it to be a downpour during the fascist circle jerk. Let us pray ⛈️⚡️

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.

Sorry to bring Twitter garbage over here but this is funny. Elon Musk - of course - blamed the Minnesota murders on "the far left" being "murderously violent." Then one of his vile little toadies asked his chatbot why the far left was so murderously violent. And Musk's own bot called him a liar.

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...

I'm (randomly) in Mentor, Ohio (Lake County, Cleveland suburbs) today & there are easily 2,000 people at this protest. Organizers I've talked to are pleasantly surprised as Lake County is not known as a Democratic stronghold.
