Official statement from #50501SC regarding South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson's statement on this weekend's planned protests #scpol #nokings #protestUS #protestSC

I can’t explain enough how peaceful the protests have been in South Carolina. People greeting neighbors and friends with hugs, ladies in dresses and sun hats, people passing out water/snacks, poster stations, fun easy going vibe all around. Protests have occurred without incident all year! #scpol

1/3 17 states are in court trying to gut HIPAA privacy protections for abortion care. If they win, your most personal health information—about abortion, miscarriage, even contraception—could be handed over to law enforcement, weaponized to prosecute patients & providers alike tinyurl.com/HIPAA-care

The more we know. #NoKîngsDay

We'll be on the Pendleton Green from 3 to 5. Mobilize link here: mobilize.us/s/is7SZSW We'll be collecting goods as donations to local organizations. See flyer here: shorturl.at/Zwh0B for current requests and participate in some #CommunitySupportingCommunity to go along with your resistance.

👇 this We don't know who he's heard is planning "civil disobedience," but it ain't us. All #50501SC events secure permits if needed for the location and coordinate with local law enforcement. We've held peaceful events for months now with no incidents. Hell, half of our attendees are grandmas.

Thank you Laura Zenteno Ami Gomez & Kembra L. Smith for hosting a powerful session on immigration rights in Oconee. Know your rights. Stay prepared. 💙✊ #OconeeDems #ImmigrantRights #BlueWaveSC #SCPolitics

You MUST show up at whatever protest is within 100 miles of you Saturday 14 June. Trump is testing YOUR will to say NO loudly and for all to see. He is on the road to tyranny WE THE PEOPLE are the road block.

771,000 people are experiencing homelessness in America. Millions more are struggling to pay rent every month. But Trump's budget proposes to cut Housing and Urban Development programs in half. Watch my hearing with the Secretary of HUD.

Alan Wilson should join us at the State House this Saturday and see for himself instead of believing the lies coming from the White House or his daddy's office. If he is going to talk tough be tough enough to show up. #scpol

Protests in South Carolina have been continual and widespread across the state in 2025; they’ve also been mild, very peaceful, low key and smaller groups of people gathering. This seems like a veiled threat coming from the Trump loyal AG. Be safe, prepared and peaceful Saturday. #scpol #scprotests

#POTUS no you ain't seen nothing yet We got something you'll never ever gunna forget 2x THE SIZE OF #HandsOff #June14th DICK-TATOR DONALD'S BIRTHDAY & NO ONE WILL BE WATCHING #TrumpisaTraitor #ICEisEvil #NoNazi #NoKKK #NoFascistUSA #NOICE #NOKINGS #uspol #SCpol #SCprotest #SCstatehouse #3E

In an executive order declaring a national emergency, Trump pronounced the metal stairs “An Enemy of the People.”

Show of hands, who's not at all shocked that this has happened?🙋🏼‍♀️

Today RFK Jr. fired every member of ACIP, the CDC committee that makes vaccine recommendations. Children will die. This is not ok. Lindsey Graham enabled this.

The Trump White House is manufacturing a confrontation to justify its extreme overreach, and it’s up to us to stop them. #FreedomToDissent #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

SHARE this as a reminder to EVERY member of our military: “We don't take an oath to a King. We don't take an oath to a wannabe dictator” “We take an oath to the Constitution." #FreedomToDissent #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Here’s some additional sites in Alabama participating in the nationwide #NoKings rallies. No matter where you live, you’re bound to find others near you committed to peaceful protests to oppose the authoritarianism of Regime 2.0. Go to NoKings.org to find a rally!

The Trump administration is using our military to silence dissent and crush opposition. We won't be silenced - we'll keep protesting and fighting for our rights! #FreedomToDissent #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Detention without due process is kidnapping. #FreeDavidEndRaids

Oregon!!! No Kings events all over the state on 6-14. Of course the Portland metro area is well represented. Other towns around the state include Medford, Coos Bay, La Pine, and La Grande. Additional information below in the link to the No Kings page

Trump's chaos is a carefully crafted smokescreen, designed to distract from his catastrophic policies and plunge us into darkness. #FreedomToDissent

🧵The tour of the USA brings us back to the contiguous USA & Washington state. Let me say the I5 area on the way to Seattle is full of places that are saying No Kings. Let’s start in the NW part of the state & work our way around. Hoodsport, Long Beach, Wenatchee, and St Helens are a few of the towns

Protect the peaceful protest! Stay safe!

Billie Eilish’s brother Finneas says he was tear-gassed during LA ICE protest

“No one is SAFE. Fascism is HERE”. 👨‍✈️ #NoKingsRally #StandUpNow

National Guard not enough?

My friend was going to come over today. She called to tell me she can't in tears. She said ICE was at the intersections by her house. She can't leave because she's undocumented. Her kids are citizens. She's afraid to let them out of the house because she's afraid they'll be targeted regardless.

This chaotic, corrupt, cruel administration has a link to history. Be someone who changes history, not a re-enactor. #FreeDaveEndRaids Find a place to voice your opinion. www.mobilize.us/aft/event/80... www.texastribune.org/2025/02/12/t... #USDemocracy #DemVoice1 #DemsUnited #Voices4Victory

From @aaronparnas.bsky.social …color me shocked that Trump is treating National Guardsmen like shit on their unnecessary and unexpected deployment in LA. #MomSky

trumps "One Big Beautiful Bill" (OBBBA) will deepen MAGA fiscal fascism by: 👉concentrating wealth & power among the elite 👉financially devastating the poor, sick & elderly 👉punishing dissent & reward loyalty 👉weakening the checks & balances of democracy bsky.app/profile/muts...

An appropriate and relatable crash-out. #MomSky

We’re going to be alright!

"Trump Is Using the National Guard as Bait. Don’t give him the pretext he wants." #ABlueView🧵1/3 "By militarizing the situation in L.A., Trump is goading Americans more generally to take him on in the streets of their own cities, thus enabling his attacks ...

TIME TO SHOW UP #NoKings Day Sat 6/14 2,000 peaceful protests are planned across the US: NoKings.org We win with nonviolent resistance History proves that peaceful, strategic movements can achieve lasting change Violence is not the answer— it only plays into authoritarian hands

California to Sue Trump Over National Guard Deployment in Los Angeles. Lawsuit will seek to set aside president’s order calling up troops in response to protests over the weekend #DictatorTrump www.wsj.com/us-news/cali...

Gavin Newsom on fire: "Come after me. Arrest me." We won't be intimidated by Trump's troops. We'll keep protesting, keep fighting, and defend our right to dissent against this oppressive administration! This isn't N. Korea. We still have #FreedomToDissent

ACTION CALL: I’m calling from [zip code] and I want [legislator] to find out who shot the Australian journalist in the back with a rubber bullet. They must be arrested and charged with assault. This was shameful. Who is my rep./sen.?: (www.usa.gov/elected-offi...) www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrFJ...

ACTION CALL: Tell your senators, Governor Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta to pull out all the stops at their disposal to protect Californians' right to peacefully protest. Scripts provided, or use your own. (indivisibleventura.org/2025/06/07/t...)

📌 Detention without due process is KIDNAPPING! It's time to STOP these abuses of power! End the 🧊 Raids and free SEIU California union leader, David Huerta. If it can happen to David, it can happen to any of us! #FreeDavidEndRaids

@jesscraven101.bsky.social is in downtown LA at 2:20 PM on June 9. She just heard that the felon is sending in the Marines. They are literally listening to mariachi music and dancing. There is no crisis No violence. Kids. Dogs. Families. People in red states you are being lied to. #NoKings

🧐 Here is a look at the "riots" in LA ... "Who's got the power? People Power." #FreedomToDissent Use this toolkit to fight back against Trump's fascist power grab ➡️ social.demcast.com/toolkit/free...

😱 Leon & the felon are breaking up! 🤬 The felon has literally set his rabid dogs on the American people. FOCUS ‼️Everything that he is doing is to distract you from his dismantling of constitutional government functioning. #Resist - 📱 your Senators (202) 224-3121!

Charleston NO KINGS Rally Scheduled for June 15 holycitysinner.com/politics/cha...

WATCH as Public Citizen lays out EXACTLY what's going on. And now Trump is sending 700 Marines to LA. This isn't an attempt to protect Americans. It's an attempt to intimidate them. This isn’t leadership — it’s authoritarianism in action. #FreedomToDissent

Not all heroes wear capes. Here’s a real life American Hero... not hiding behind a mask. Get involved in the peaceful protest occurring on June 14. Go to nokings.org & find an event near you.
