Sure thing!👌#TACO

What’s controversial? www.cnn.com/2025/06/14/u...

mike lee’s brain fell out his ass

I'm loving all the videos of yesterday's protest but especially this wedding party that decided to join in

Seen in San Diego...

This is a United States Senator mocking the assassination of a Minnesota legislator and her husband. He pretends to be a good Mormon. He’s a sick fuck.

Doesn’t get more creepy #Maga! Time to scrap the Republican Party. It’s morphed into a psycho collection of religious zealots, conspiracy nuts, racist dirt bags, and billionaire crypto/AI freaks. It’s not safe for the rest of America. 🇺🇸 www.wsj.com/us-news/vanc...

If everything is so “easy” why does it never happen? This guys is the biggest fraud to ever live. #iran #Israel #peace

Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop! Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels

Trump is the head of a criminal syndicate, and he should be treated accordingly. https://trib.al/FfWFrJL

I want to thank the Madison, WI Police Department for the way they conducted themselves yesterday during the peaceful #NoKings protest. Didn’t see any shouting, pushing or anything violent. Respect. This didn’t happen by accident. The city recruits and trains for this. @cityofmadison.bsky.social

This was caught yesterday in Los Angeles. The police are physically assaulting an older man in red. The older man is unarmed and hurt.

Nobody is rioting. Nobody is breaking any laws. These are cops in my city of Las Vegas just assaulting and arresting anyone on Fremont Street who looks at them. This is fascism.

Hmmm 🤔

We, the people, have spoken!

My favorite sign on the internet from yesterday's No Kings Protest!

The Hortman family helped raise and train dogs to partner with veterans. One of the many reasons we will miss Melissa and Mark.

I don't see that @deadder.bsky.social has shared this here yet.

‘No way to invest in a career here’: US academics flee overseas to avoid Trump crackdown https://twp.ai/4ioaSc

Whoa! Hats off to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for keeping his cool yesterday. This LAPD officer needs to be relieved of duty if he can’t handle an alleged “touch” without snapping.

Dodgers utilityman Kiké Hernández took to Instagram on Saturday to express his support for immigrants and decry the recent militarized raids in the city by the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

If you are proud of this great Veteran We should be friends 🦋💙🫂💙🦋

I thought I was losing my mind when this happened because it was an attempted assassination of a national political leader and it was treated like it was nothing.

A leader of the MN House Democrats is murdered by a Republican pro-life activist. Rather than condemning political murder of his opponents, Elon Musk spreads the conspiracy theory that it was done by Democrats. Journalists don’t need to use any social media site. But they really shouldn’t use X.

Didn’t watch a ton of it. But the parade seemed embarrassingly low energy. Not saying I’m expecting it but cld say Hegs getting canned over it. He’s definitely yelling at someone tonight.

He did not work for Walz, he was reappointed to a bipartisan commission. He had a hit list of 70, including Demoractic lawmakers, abortion providers, and pro-abortion activists. Spin all you want then delete your account.

Both sides of the bridge over the Rock River in Fort Atkinson, WI #nokings

the story today is of a profoundly low energy military parade being met with millions of americans in nationwide protests denouncing the dictatorial pretensions of the president

$46 million doesn’t buy what it used to. 😩 #parade #tankytrump

Wow! MN. ❤️ #NoKings

Probably hoping for a trump pardon, unless he takes himself out. Sick cult. #MAGA

Are these tanks from WWI ? 😱🇺🇸

FYI, no one paid me to attend the #NoKings protest, but America deserves a $46 million refund on whatever this was.

This assassination makes the Minnesota house even. I'm waiting for the first Republican Minnesota state legislator to commit to sit out votes until Rep. Hortman is replaced - otherwise Republicans are hugely benefiting from and complicit in this sort of political violence.

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

KNOXVILLE…

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

Hard to tell through the bullet proof glass, but pretty sure he was grunting one out. 💩 #parade #tankytrump

Wow, it’s so much lamer than I imagined. Picturing Dukakis driving every tank and passing the sad mojo to trump. 😢 #NoKings was amazing across America. People have had it with the lies, fascist tactics, criminality, and billionaire agenda. #SadParade #TankyTrump

A who’s who of scummery, griftitude, criminocity, and ineptitudeness. #Parade #tankytrump #coinbase 🖕🤬💩

HAPPENING NOW: A sea of protesters have gathered in Ann Arbor, Michigan for a “No Kings Day” rally against Donald Trump (Video: WXYZ-TV)

OMG this is Idaho!!!

And there it is. The Minnesota assassin who shot Democratic lawmakers “voted for Donald Trump and was a strong Trump supporter,” according to his best friend.

#NoKings protest in Madison, WI was well attended and very peaceful. Bernie Sanders and Raphael Warnock called in to speak. We all have better stuff to do, but our country needs us.
