In some countries, like the UK, there’s a (relatively recent) tradition of letting the party of any lawmaker killed in an act of political violence run unopposed in the by-election. It lets people know violence cannot change the balance of power. It would be good for the US to do this.

Enough is enough: Mahmoud Khalil should be home with his newborn son and wife. We're fighting for that this Father's Day and every day until he is free.

Absolutely massive turnout in Palo Alto, CA for the #nokings Democracy Fair, starting now!

Protesters Urged Not To Give Trump Administration Pretext For What It Already Doing theonion.com/protest...

Ok, some of the soldiers hanging out of those tanks are adorable! Still tho #NoKings

"Special thanks to our sponsor coinbase" This parade is so tacky

Philly showin' up today

This time-lapse video of protesters marching down Broadway in Oakland for No Kings Day gives an idea of how many people turned out today @sfchronicle.com

Folks look so bored. When is the Navy’s birthday? They would have good…floats. #NoKings

In just one week: A GOP president deployed Marines in a U.S. city, called for a Democratic governor’s arrest, the GOP Speaker called for him to be tarred and feathered, a Democratic senator was handcuffed, and two Democratic legislators were shot in their homes.

The Minnesota assassin had a hit list of abortion providers and activists. This is why I hammer HCWs about home security & digital privacy - esp those in abortion, vaccination, and trans care. Check out the comments for my free guide to understanding and reducing your risk of doxxing.

Joyful Protest

Will be wild if this parade ends with an announcement of and show of equipment for a war that we are in right now and didn’t know it. #NoKings

They look about as happy as the photos of guys who were actually sent to Vietnam. #NoKings

I guess the announcer is explaining Army history and equipment. Maybe dear leader needed this military parade to know what he missed in Vietnam. “We needed more big beautiful tubas in Vietnam. Strong tubas. Only I will make sure we have enough war tubas.” #NoKings #MoreTuba

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

5.5 million … so far. #nokings

Proud of San Jose. #NoKings

Boston's No Kings parade tomorrow would have clashed with the Pride Parade so the city has decided to lump everything together and call it "NO KINGS, but YAAAAS Queen!" Go Boston!

This military parade could’ve been a Signal chat

a birthday parade… #satire

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

#Boise #Idaho showing up for #NoKings

Santa Cruz, California!!! #Indivisible #NoKings @indivisible-scc.bsky.social

Volunteering for the First Aid team at the #NoKings protest tomorrow. Made some signage. Donate good science jokes.

British man has ‘no idea’ how he survived Air India crash

Hi, I’m God. I’m going to make it rain on his big stupid parade. #NoKings

First know your rights, then share your rights. Download our Know Your Rights graphic and use it as your phone screen when going to protests.

BREAKING: A federal court ruled there's no legitimate basis for Mahmoud Khalil's continued detention, and that it's unconstitutional for the Trump administration to use vague foreign policy grounds to deport people. This is a win for free speech. We won't stop fighting until Mahmoud is released.

This Saturday, join us on the streets to show President Trump that we won't tolerate his dangerous, un-American abuse of power. There's a rally near you. Find it at this link:

The public has been blocked from observing proceedings at Concord’s immigration court, where ICE is arresting asylum seekers in an attack on their right to due process.

With Trump coming for our freedoms, it is more important than ever to know what your rights are. So you can better protect yourself, your family and your community. Check out our Know Your Rights videos and guides. Get the info BEFORE you need to use it. www.aclunc.org/blog/trump-t...
