Vaccines save lives. That’s it. That’s the post.

THREAD: The assassinations in Minnesota highlight a dirty secret hardly ever mentioned in the news: U.S. has 1.1 million private police officers. There is an unprecedented footprint of privately organized violence that is doing all sorts of things most people have no idea about.

Before the cops in LA started escalating things for no reason it was funny how my main takeaway was how much people were looking out for each other in really helpful ways. I’ve never seen so many people with carts giving away free water, sunscreen, snacks, and masks to total strangers.

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

“No Kings Day”: A compilation

Arturo Obrego, a 77-year-old army veteran who hitchiked from Huntington Beach is going viral for getting hit with wooden baton by officers on horses and knocked down during today’s peaceful “No Kings” protest in DTLA. @TheGlutster ran into him at Union Station a couple of hours after the incident.

didn’t mask up today at the rally’s? please care for your community by preventing the spread of anything you may have picked up today. at home sars2 tests are notoriously finnicky, make them more sensitive by using them repeatedly in 48hr increments and swabbing throat before nose 👇🏻

These are the people that make America great 🇲🇽🇺🇸

Keep an eye out this weekend for outside agitators like the Proud Boys showing up at the No Kings Protests! They will try to incite violence and blame it on the left as they did during the George Floyd protests.

The statement that this is not who we are needs to be retired until such time as it becomes true. If it was true today, we would not be in this mess.

📢 Protest Advice - Tear Gas 🪧 If you are protesting tomorrow - this video has great advice for preparing for and responding to tear gas. No makeup, contacts, etc. If you live near a protest site - consider placing buckets of clean water outside your home so protestors have easy access. 🪣

Friends- it is 2025. Can we stop with the term "vaccine skeptic" to describe people openly hostile to vaccines and whose views are not based in evidence? That is not skepticism. That is denialism.

Yes!

Don't let them lie to you about Senator Padilla. DHS is claiming the agents DID NOT KNOW he was a senator. He CLEARLY says (BEFORE he is tackled and cuffed) "I am Senator Alex Padilla and I have a question for the secretary."

Thank you, Pete!

Thank you, Rick Wilson!

Prosecute the officer.

"I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law." @AOC

More Lies from Kristi Noem: “We’re going after the worst of the worst in LA— Murderers, Human Traffickers.” No, they’re raiding Home Depot parking lots. They’re not going into neighborhoods with crime activity. They’re literally snatching up gardeners and drywallers looking for work
