Do you want lower rates of "crime"? Do you want increased childhood development and well-being? Do you want lower rates of homelessness? Do you want to reduce overdose deaths? Do you want these things cheaper than ever? Then give people housing, food, schooling, medicine, and support, for free.

June 14, 2025. To the millions who showed up today. You participated in one of the largest single day protests in American history. And you did it in a week that was the most authoritarian week of the Trump presidency. It matters. Thank you. And keep building.

According to the latest WaPo/Schar School poll, Trump’s handling of deportations has 37% approval, 52% disapproval. And Quinnipiac has it at 40% approval, 56% disapproval. But @facethenation.bsky.social insists “public approval is so high on deportation.”

This is huge. The Trump administration wants to vastly expand the practice of shipping people to random countries they have never been to before, and are now making this part of a threat; either the countries accept taking third country nationals, or they get banned from visas.

The Tea Party protests in April 2009 had about a third of a million people involved, and the political media treated it like a game changer for the Obama presidency. The No Kings rallies were AT LEAST ten times bigger than the Tea Party protests. Will the press keep pretending Trump is popular?

I'm begging folks to not compliment themselves too much on their "non-violent" marches & rallies. Instead, try to understand that violence at protests is generally a result of law enforcement escalation. Then, the galaxy brain move is to ask yourself "which protests do police tend to attack?"

A college classmate in Corvallis, Oregon sent me this photo she took at the “No Kings” protest there. I’m sure a lot of people can relate to it.

the fact that they’re just playing instrumental versions of radio rock, rather than military bands or marching bands or whatever makes this whole thing so fucking farcical, like, van halen’s jump is not meant to be instrumental, ahahahahahahaha

Oh my god. Trump’s army themed birthday parade is currently being broadcast by Fox, and between the circus voice announcer, the low to no [visible] attendance, and the weird, silent gaps between each unit walking by….the whole thing is not at all what I expected. It’s sad trombone level awkward.

I need everyone on Normal People internet to know that American Girl Doll Instagram is doing doll protests today. There are tiny t-shirts and signs. AND THEN I realized it's a joint protest with the Barbie ppl, where there are EVEN TINIER SIGNS.

Trump looking absolutely inconsolable at his fascist-themed 79th birthday party which no one turned up to other than those who had to because he's their boss.

Trump has not only pardoned insurrectionists who tried to violently overturn an election result but is now “settling” lawsuits by those insurrectionists, giving them multimillion dollar rewards for their political violence. There’s a straight line to the Minnesota assassin trying to seize…

Hey @cnn.com, ‘we will kill you’ is not a “stern warning”. It’s a death threat. A sheriff is threatening the lives of the community he swore an oath to protect. For exercising their rights to peacefully assemble. Stop being stenographers for fascists.

On the 250th anniversary of the Army, today should be about the men and women who serve. Instead, Trump is putting tanks on the street at massive cost to the American taxpayer. And of course, he's fundraising off it while referring to it as HIS parade. Disgraceful.

There must be an office or someone at DoD who understands the symbolism and protocol of parade routes, so this has to be deliberate. The Secretary of the Army ought to be asked about this

"defund the police" was so obviously correct. I really don't care if it doesn't poll well. it's like telling me that I should stop saying I like vaccines if they stopped polling well.

Just met this man at the No Kings protest in Philly: Dan O’Neill. Dan is an evangelical Christian, but says recently left a church bc its members were so uncritically supportive of Trump. He says: “I have read the Bible recently, and everything I read in there, (Trump) is doing the opposite of.”

I know there's a lot going on, but the Secretary of Homeland Security declaring that federal troops are in California and Los Angeles to "liberate" the state and city from its duly-elected leaders really is a fourteen-alarm fire.

Trump’s parade in D.C. will feature more than 5 million pounds of the government’s machinery. The No Kings gatherings across America will feature more than 5 million of the country’s people.

Can't get to a protest today. Today is Flag Day and the 250th bday of the Army. This is my retirement flag honoring 23 years' service in the US Army. US Code says the flag should be flown upside down " as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property." #nokings
