If any people outside the U.S. still feel compelled to criticize Americans for not waking up fast enough (stop), we're fighting multiple fronts here, one of which is against the very media institution that is *supposed* to be on the side of truth and the people.

No surprise from this department. When the office was last up, given the scale of misconduct and abuse there, we at Bolts covered the race from the angle of why to take any reform talk with skepticism: boltsmag.org/unease-in-lo...

No King protest in red Idaho. Love it. 💙

There were millions today. In part bc there were a dozen of you at that intersection that time, or every Tues, or after soccer. Or you stood alone with a sign at an overpass. Or your tiny town rallied around a detained woman, or 17 yo, or family. Your courage was contagious. Look what you did.

Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman was a friend who worked with Gabby to stop gun violence. We’re thinking of her children, who've now lost both their parents, and we’re praying for Sen. Hoffman and his wife, who are still fighting for their lives. Stay strong.

One block over from the White House: the aspirational security line setup

how'd you mess up so bad you couldn't even get vehicle-americans like our nation's four year olds out to this

It was truly an honor to be asked to kick off today’s historic march. Thank you, San Diego! #NoKings

San Antonio’s #NoKings event began at 5pm. The march didn’t begin till 7pm, but the crowd was ready!! ✊🏽 So many cool signs! That’s me and @rayosunlong.bsky.social on the mid & bottom right, and with our dear friends @gabriengregory.bsky.social and @marshagregory.bsky.social in the center! ❤️‍🔥🪅

A single tear runs down his cheek. "I thought couping would be fun."

In a Gangster State, the dear leader wastes other people's money on military parades to broadcast his fake strength, attacks the legislative branch and destroys programs that benefit the people.

LAPD and LA Sheriffs tried to prevent two large protests from joining together in downtown and both departments ended up hitting EACH OTHER with impact munitions from across the same interesection.

Today in Boston. Over a million people turned out. Even the drone couldn't get it all. #NoKingsDay #BostonStrong #ICEProtest

At least 12 DOGE staffers remain legal employees or advisers of the companies they worked at before DOGE. And at least nine continue to receive corporate benefits from their private-sector employers, including stock vesting plans.

OMG this is Idaho!!!

Klasfeld on Abrego Garcia case: One of the cooperating witnesses is serving a 30-year sentence. What comes out during the hearing is that: he’s getting leniency on his prison sentence, is now in a halfway house, and is also receiving favorable treatment with his immigration situation.

When violent criminals are pardoned due to partisanship… When tribalism excuses violence against the opposing political party… When justice depends on political affiliation… People. Will. Die. GOP leadership must stop this.

The photos coming from Trump’s birthday parade are just incredible. No one showed up.

Oh 😑

New York City says fuck the Trump regime and his loyalist ICE forces. The real America rejects fascism. (📹 @cindygallop.bsky.social ) #3E #NoKings #NoKingsDay

No King protest in New York City. Beautiful.

Perfectly sums up Trump’s second term

🚨“We’re living in a moment of unprecedented tension—tension he catalyzed.” And instead of calming the crisis, Trump throws a parade for himself. You don’t bring a country together by rolling tanks down Pennsylvania Avenue.

Talked to so many people who were at the first protests of their lives today. Ex-Republicans, introverts, 90-year-olds and 3-year-olds. This was at an intersection in a 60,000 person town. Haven’t felt hope like this in my life.

The revolution is full of 60-year-old women who love their trans kids.

Proud of Minnesotans

Today, I stand with the millions of Americans making clear this country doesn't belong to a king. It’s a democracy, and it belongs to the people.

On a beautiful day in San Diego,CA, 20K peaceful protesters marched to loudly say “No Kings”.

"People can be turned. Even the stupidest, most callow people. Now maybe at the end of the day we can't turn enough of them and Trump succeeds. But maybe not. You keep fighting, and maybe something good happens. No kings. No surrender." www.thebulwark.com/p/no-kings-n...

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

One if by land Two if by sea We’re coming by ferry For democracy

If 102-year-old Kurt Goldschmidt, a survivor of the Holocaust, says "no kings" you'd best get up and stand up for your rights before it's too late. Mr. Goldschmidt knows all too well what he's seeing in Trump's America. It was an honor to stand with him today. #NoKingsInAmerica

The protesters are "disassembling" outside Lafayette Square. Some are marching back to Logan Circle.

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

Now in Seattle, Washington at a No Kings Day rally: "We will not let the light of constitutional democracy flicker out simply because of one power-hungry orange man." 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Scenes from Nashville’s #NoKings protest 1/

Somewhat surreal life experience. Just marched in Philly with the King family on No Kings Day. And we published this op-ed together this morning! www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Jesus. The juxtaposition of these two posts back to back is just...

The assassin’s actions in MN appear to be less about plainclothes abuse by fed officers and more about the generally violent rhetoric re political enemies that trumpists have been making increasingly mainstream.

Especially if you're on the fence about it, protest today. Fascism is isolating and lonely. Its very goal is to make you feel like you're the only person unwilling to accept a cult of personality. On days like today you fully realize there are more of us than there are them. You will feel better.

Medicaid officials tried to block the transfer of sensitive personal data, but top aides to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. pushed the order through.
