To our friends & allies across the globe who today stood in solidarity with those of us in the US who are angry, scared, & mortified: thank you for your grace, your light, & your empathy. Thank you for your support of those of us who aren't in the cult. We see you & are grateful.

Huge crowd in NYC!

Today we let the world know what all Americans believe….

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

I really really needed to see that people hadn't given up and accepted this shit as inevitable, or (even worse) embraced it. And today showed us that beautifully. No one wanted in on his tank show, but people WERE HUNGRY to tell him to go fuck himself.

The fairytale romance continues …

Couple things I learned today: - Seniors are extremely fired up about this - "Fuck ICE" is a normie position now - People are MASSIVELY pissed off about Sen. Padilla being wrestled to the ground in LA - We all we got, we all we need

What if he threw a $45 million parade and nobody came? Boring. Low energy. Sad!

It’s amazing that NBC created a reality show around a fake billionaire firing people who is the worst person in the world at hiring competent and qualified people.

Foxtrot Delta Taco.

#SleepyDon fell asleep at his own parade.

Tambourines. Trumpets. "Blasting horns so the little fuckers had a terrible sleep.” Demonstrators outside LA-area hotels—where ICE agents are believed to be sleeping—are employing creative methods to keep those agents awake. @annamerlan.bsky.social writes on "No sleep for ICE."

i'm surprised by how low energy and farcical that whole military parade situation was. I was expecting Moscow 1945 and we got Spirit Halloween instead.

Have to repost this. PRICELESS!

KINZINGER: “The thing that disturbed me more than anything was watching the soldiers cheering and booing at his speech. That was a failure of command.”

So it turns out that our authoritarians are very bad at authoritarian pageantry.

Chicago showed the 🤬 up ✊

No Kings Protest occupied Black Lives Plaza (16th NW & H street)

He's an embarrassment to humanity and the world.

Never Forget💯

Compilation of massive 'NO KINGS!' protests today ✊ #NoKings

A traffic stop is causing outrage, after a young man born and raised on Long Island was pulled over and searched by ICE agents. He said it was simply because he’s Latino. When ICE found out he’s a U.S. citizen, they let him go—without giving an explanation or apology—but the damage was already done.

All the credit that Tim Walz got as a VP candidate for good stuff that Minnesota has done? Melissa Hortman (and a bunch of other women) led the hard fight to get bills on his desk and make it politically safe for him to sign.

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

Lmaoooo

Nobody came to his Kim Jong Un parade. Nobody. Good. Damn good.

i have never been to ANY public event, no matter how tiny, that was this empty

Absolutely valid general point, though in this instance supposedly the guy had not only an extremely realistic uniform, badge, & gear but also a genuine-looking squad car.

I am glad I did not post myself into a corner where I *had* to post this, but I was wrong: No Kings was correct that the lackadaisical turnout on the Mall would be really striking next to the record-breaking protests nationwide, that was a good call

When you have more military than actual attendees, I think that's a sign that your parade is a dud, yes?

Plenty of hotel capacity in DC tonight. Doesn’t look like a big crowd in town for Dear Leader’s parade tomorrow. #NoKings

Folks it doesn't even *look* like a parade is supposed to look Like whoever planned this has never seen a parade

Noem and the head of her FBI detail should be out of their jobs today! The fact that they aren't is the best evidence yet that we are not a democracy any more!

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.

Thousands of protesters jammed the streets around Manhattan’s Bryant Park on Saturday afternoon in a massive march that spilled down Fifth Avenue.

Shameful.

Raskin: And the moment that somebody in public office begins to act like the master of the people. That is the moment to evict, eject, reject, impeach, try, convict, and start all over again .

They think a couple of assassinations and a military parade are going to stop you from marching. Those that fuck around shall surely find out.

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
