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.

hell yeah Idaho

No way?!?! What a surprise……

Tim Snyder: Today no kings, tomorrow freedom. There is a better America out there. There is a better America underneath. There is a better America that we can see. There is a better America that we can make. History is in our hands.

Massive #NoKings march in New York City!

Philly Filling up for Democracy! 💙💙🙌🏼🙌🏼🗽🗽

NBC News' @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social reports from Los Angeles City Hall where thousands of protesters have gathered for a 'No Kings' protest against the Trump administration and ahead of the president's Washington D.C. military parade.

Great sign…tens of millions of us

Just an unbelievable turnout. We’ve moved a block in an hour. Way way more young people than last time, too. Just massive.

This was the turnout a the last self-aggrandising parade that #PieceOfShit #TacoTrump held for himself. If he succeeds in intimidating the military to hold his much desired birthday wank make the turnout even fewer, people.

Chicago

The #NoKings march in Dallas, Texas is HUGE!

Over 80,000 Protesters in Philly’s No Kings protest now.

Boston showed up for No Kings Day!

UPDATE: Both Democratic elected offices were killed as a ‘Politically Motivated Assassination.’ If this was MAGA terrorism we need MAGA to be labeled a terrorist group. MAGA attacked our Capitol on Jan 6. MAGA threatens judges and GOPers who defy Trump! www.mediaite.com/media/news/t...

absolutely horrifying: "Minnesota state senator John Hoffman in Champlin and Minnesota state representative Melissa Hortman in Brooklyn Park were reportedly shot in their homes by a gunman impersonating a police officer."

No one gets to hide behind the excuse of not understanding who Trump is or how bad he would be anymore. Now there are only two lanes. Resistance. Or complicity.

There is no bottom: 80 year-old veteran arrested, arms handcuffed behind his back, even though he is physically disabled for protesting Trump’s military parade. Pure evil!

Are we great yet? Today at grocery store. Little milk, no eggs empty shelves. #TrumpIsATerrorist #RepublicansDidThis #pinks #June14NoKings

Look at Trump’s Truth Social post. Consider his call with Newsom. He is incoherent, insane. Failure of corporate press to say that every day as he is taking us down the road to a police state is the gravest journalistic malpractice in American history. They will never redeem themselves.

"Republican senators should be very careful on this right now. If they do not come out and defend Senator Padilla's right to ask questions of this administration, of his colleagues, they are setting an extraordinarily dangerous precedent for how senators are going to be treated in this country.

“Tesla’s driverless ‘robotaxis’ could launch in Austin as soon as June 22. But a demo in Austin today showed a $TSLA, manually driven to test its Full Self-Driving system, failed to stop for a child-sized dummy at a school bus—and hit it.” @cbsaustin @velez_tx

Pathetic: ABC’s GMA, World News Tonight, This Week, CBS’ Mornings, Evening News, Face the Nation, NBC’s Today, Nightly News, Meet the Press, MSNBC, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, and The Wall Street Journal all failed to cover Trump's new office for ethnic cleansing.

I want to know why police are intentionally damaging their own vehicles #immigrationprotests

Know your rights before you hit the streets. Authoritarians count on fear and confusion. Be prepared. Stay calm, stay safe, & stay informed. This ACLU guide is essential for every protester. Share it. Print it. Carry it. Power comes from knowing where you stand.

Double.

What we’re actually seeing is much worse: An attempt to end politics as we know it, to deploy force to suppress dissent. Not eventually, but right now

WATCH: “Holy f*ck — They literally just shot her point blank… I live here…” @lapdhq shoot a woman trying to get to her apartment at point blank range with a rubber bullet. Alexandria’s page (the woman who helps her): www.tiktok.com/@labyrinthlo...

Met an active duty member of the military yesterday who filed conscientious objector paperwork in response to deployment of military on U.S. soil. Was told multiple Army have filed, unknown quantities in other branches.

Welcome to authoritarianism. 🇺🇸

Chlorine dioxide is an industrial form of bleach used for things like bleaching lumber. “Wellness” freaks use it as a miracle cure to “remove parasites,” which is usually the lining of the intestines sloughing off from industrial bleach exposure. They give it to kids, too, usually to “cure” autism.

A cheer for Rosa here!

Insane scenes in Downtown Los Angeles as the cops open fire indiscriminately on people milling about. The cops shattered a business’s windows while firing on a live-streaming journalist. Keep this in mind when people talk about the protesters causing property destruction. 🎥 : AXN News on YouTube

NYC and Dallas, Texas have entered the chat!! Resistance MELTS ICE!

MADDOW: “What is this country going to allow him to do? This is an attempted authoritarian overthrow of the 🇺🇸 Constitution and Government… imposition of a dictatorial regime. The strength of the movement against him is what will determine our fate as a country.”

“My party loses the moral high ground when we refuse to condemn setting cars on fire, destroying buildings, and assaulting law enforcement.” Will someone please tell him these things aren’t happening in LA?

Is there no way t counteract this?

a military assault on the people of Los Angeles is not a "distraction." Trump can do more than 1 bad thing at once. Can we please cut it out with this "distraction" bullshit? It's confused, wrong-headed, & insulting to the people who r actually being targeted right now for kidnapping and violence.

the cops are not in fact 'out of control.' this is US policing.

It's hard to overstate how destructive the reflexive "this is a distraction!" stuff that politicians and commentators and people are always peddling. Everything is happening all at once. That's how authoritarianism works. If you can't navigate and synthesize this, you're not meeting the moment.
