Anaheim, California showed up big-time today! I saw good friends from work, from Twitter/Bluesky, & even neighbors! It gave so many a feeling of hope & community. We love our neighbors & our immigrant community! #NoKings #NoKingsDay #California

If this is accurate and they’re still counting, we just about reached the 3.5% rule! LFG Americans! great job!

Marching to Peace Corner. It seemed like a never-ending procession. Bend, Oregon, #NoKings

RENO stands!Citizens of The Biggest little city gathered out side their GOP reps’s , Mark Amodei’s office to remind him that in the United States we’ve #NoKings and will accept #NoTyrants. Nevadans can’t be tamed to submit. @indivisiblennv.bsky.social @Indivisible.org 📸 🙏@ourtownreno.bsky.social

Today, the Oconee County Democratic Party joined the 50501 effort with a peaceful No Kings rally at Seneca City Hall for Flag Day. Over 500 people stood in solidarity! 💙 Let’s keep the momentum going—join us at our upcoming social! 📅 RSVP and details here: www.mobilize.us/oconeecounty...

Thank you, #SouthCarolina, for standing up today and subverting expectations in the best way possible. Across the state, more than 15,000 of you showed up...loud, proud, peaceful, and united. 🧵 #50501SC #NoKings #scpol

Several thousand showed up in Columbia SC today for the “No Kings” rally! #nokings

So sad. Trump threw a Pity Party for his birthday and no one showed. Elsewhere, the #NoKingsDay was a HUGE event with BIGLY attendance. Go figure...

The current estimate of today’s “No Kings” rally and march in San Diego is 60,000 peaceful protestors. It was a beautiful day. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8rLv8sg/

OMG, y’all. ROTFL🤣 It looks like Trump had crowd-size issues again. What a fantastic way to close #ObamaDay Please pass it on so others can see what an epic failure he is. #NoKings

Now...let us transfer todays protests into people going to the polls and calling their reps on a regular basis. Do it! We need you. #VoteBlue

These areas should be packed with people honoring our troops. But Trump turned a day for heroes into a shrine to himself. Empty seats & a full ego. He doesn’t honor the military, he uses their blood to polish his ego. #NoKings

🚨 1/2 If you’re in downtown LA: LAPD has issued a dispersal order and is deploying tear gas & flash bangs. Protesters have been peaceful all day. Please stay safe, move away from danger, and look out for one another. Document everything if you can. We see you. We’ve got your back. #NoKings

Well, the man who shot the Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota is a hardcore Trump supporter. What a surprise. Prepare for the MAGA spin. Political violence is un-American. We stand with those who serve and commit to a civic life rooted in peace, dignity, and dialogue. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Looking back on the protests today made me think, MAGA never protested Biden because he wasn’t stealing their rights. Trump is gutting lives, freedoms, futures. We’re in the streets because we’re being crushed, erased & we're pissed off! MAGA rallies around a man. We rally around values

Trump tried to crown himself with tanks and troops on his birthday & barely anyone showed. Because Americans don’t bow to tyrants. We rise up. We remember who we are. And we reject fascism in every form. Foxtrot Delta Tango #NoKings @couriernewsroom.bsky.social

What a great day it was in Chapel Hill, NC, where a HUGE crowd gathered & marched to ensure THEIR America lives on. 🇺🇸 Nothing but love for democracy & each other. ♥️ Here are some of my favorite signs/images. (The first sign is ours. 😁) Individuals whose faces are shown gave permission. #NoKings

😳 FEELS like we’ll BE THERE SOON 😳 www.hks.harvard.edu/centers/carr...

Not sure where this is, but it might be the most beautiful #NoKings I've seen. www.tiktok.com/@denisekindn...

#NoKings Bend, Oregon

Two lawmakers chose to serve their state. Today, they were met with violence. Minnesota Rep. Hortman and her husband were killed. Sen. Hoffman and his wife are in critical condition. We reject political violence in all forms—we stand for a democracy where peaceful disagreement is our strength.

Chicago today. No Kings.

Attendance at the $35+ mm Trump military birthday parade is reminiscent of his inauguration

From the #NoKings rally in Middletown, OH -- JD Vance's "hometown"

Thousands turn out for #NoKings Day in Cincinnati OH -- where JD & Usha Vance are registered to vote; where voters rejected JD's brother Cory Bowman

We’re honored to report that over 11 million showed up for today’s No Kings protest, and totals are still coming in. Just… wow. WOW 😮! There’s nothing more to say.

Beautiful day of peaceful protests at the #NoKings rally. It was great to see so many people standing up and speaking out.

It was great seeing you . It was a beautiful day.

Columbia, South Carolina #3E #NoKings #NoKingsDay (📹 @subaru52.bsky.social ‬)

We’re closing in on the 3.5% rule! 8.6 million and counting! We’re in awe. Lots of events still happening make sure to be counted. Big towns, small towns you showed up.

In regards to the domestic terror attack in MN today. Do No Share his name & Do not Share his picture on social media. Let MSM breath life into the his desire for attention & recognition as the reason & cause for the turmoil. ~ @politicojoe.bsky.social

Update: Over 7.2 million and counting across the country for the No Kings protest!!

What a great turnout at Hampton Park today for the #NoKings protest! Charleston was one of many events across South Carolina and SHL was proud to be a part of it! See our pictures here! 📸 Tucker Lentz lowcountryhumanists.org/no-kings-nat...

Charleston SC !!! #NoKings

Mile long march in the Mile High city! Colorado loves its progressives! www.axios.com/local/denver...

While Tacos Military Birthday Parade attendance doesn’t seem to be materializing, the No Kings protests are being declared unprecedented The people united, will never be divided!

In the UK, it was called the "No Tyrants" protest rather than #NoKingsProtest for obvious reasons. About 500 gathered in front of the London US Embassy. At one point singing a cleverly re-worded version of the anti-fascist song "Bella Ciao" Why clowns? Because authoritarians hate being mocked.

Bend, Oregon, #NoKings

Monhegan Island may be tiny, but today it stood tall. From lobster traps to lighthouse views, islanders raised their voices to say: no kings, no fascists, no fear. Even 12 miles out to sea, democracy finds defenders. #NoKings

Bloomfield, NJ stood for democracy today! Over 400 of us braved the rain to make our voices heard & say #NoKings are accepted here! #NoKingsDay #BarackObamaDay
