The math error in this tweet is very funny.

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?

Just incredible the scale of peaceful rallies today in the midst of all the tensions and chaos Trump has deliberately stoked. No matter how much Trump and those who share his authoritarian desires create mayhem and conflict, the American people still showed up at our patriotic best. #NoKings

There are a couple of kids in my nephews's class who weren't born in the US, and the class has decided (w/o teacher input) that if ICE shows up in they're all going to pretend not to speak English. 10yos reinventing "I am Spartacus" because they don't want their friends to get disappeared.

Will Donald Trump be condemning and disowning this alleged assassin? Will MAGA and Fox be asked if they contributed to his ‘radicalization’? Will Dems insist Republicans tone down their rhetoric as the GOP did in reverse after the attempt on Trump’s life (by a Republican)?

Lots of moments of joy at the protest today, but I particularly loved seeing cringy, wine-mom liberal signs. The cringier the better. It means that the movement is huge. The normies are mad.

Our military deserves better than this empty charade. Yikes. The tank squeaking over silence is incredible.

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

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

No Kings vs No Crowd

😐

Current mood

God said no kings.

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

More pics from #NoKings protest in Grand Rapids.

Nice try.

It's mind-blowing how little attention this extraordinary statement has received. It's briefly mentioned in a couple news articles, but this MSNBC opinion piece is the only extended discussion of it I've seen: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Listen, we’re building a big tent.

The contrasting images of a DC ghost town/military parade and 1800 American cities and towns with well-attended protests is going to drive Trump batty.

As always, it’s important that those of us who can safely protest do it on behalf of those who can’t.

Let’s not lose sight of the fact that President Trump is such a loser he had to demand his employees throw a birthday party for him.

Hey I found that American flag you were looking for. #NoKings

This is the biggest protest I’ve ever seen in Grand Rapids. #NoKings

I would like my state, every state, to mandate badges, name plates, no masks, for all law enforcement in the state. And if federal agents try to break the mandate, arrest them, then let the courts sort it out.

So was he impersonating a police officer or is he one? A uniform is one thing a police vehicle is a whole other level.

this statement was made just yesterday

Important context.

Walz announces that Rep. Melissa Hortman is dead as a result of a "politically motivated assassination"

If a minor is detained at a protest, should they ask to speak to a lawyer or ask to speak to their parent?

Acting on a tip from a well-regarded half-giant, you travel to the Lunaris and find a macabre pit. A dungeon beckons. Will you delve inside?

NO KINGS, except when I’m playing a Balatro run with the Baron Joker.

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.

See you there.

When these guys say no kings they mean it.

You cannot comply your way out of tyranny
