Holy shit, New York! Here’s the full view. #NoKings #50501Movement

Protesters have formed a human banner at Ocean Beach, San Francisco this afternoon. 👏👏 #NoKings #50501Movement (📸 Santiago Mejia/San Francisco Chronicle)

NEW: Dallas, Texas right now. Absolutely insane turnout. Tens of thousands of anti-Trump protestors have taken over downtown. I have seen enough footage to be assured that millions have taken to the streets of America today. 👏 #NoKings #50501Movement (🎥 Dallas Texas TV)

NEW: In the last few hours, Minnesota authorities warned people against attending protests, with a killer on the loose. This is the current view of the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul. DEFIANCE. 👏 #NoKings #50501Movement (📸 Daviss)

NEW: In the city where US troops are turning on US citizens, an uprising. This is LA right now. Thousands protesting against Trump, authoritarianism and fascism. “These numbers are absolutely overwhelming downtown Los Angeles.” - MSNBC #NoKings #50501Movement

NEW: This is the road to Mar-a-Lago. The people of Palm Beach are waving US distress flags and going to right to Trump’s front door to give the middle finger to fascism 👏 Heavy police presence. #NoKings #50501Movement (🎥 Brian Allen)

NEW: Absolutely incredible images coming out of San Diego. The streets are filled with tens of thousands of anti-Trump protestors. This is what resistance looks like 👏 #NoKings #50501Movement (📸 Scott Dworkin)

NEW: Chicago right now. Every time, this city turns up. Thousands refusing to bow down to Trump authoritarianism. 👏👏 #NoKings #50501Movement

NEW: Democracy is alive in Philly! Amazing scenes in Philadelphia as thousands hit the streets for the anti-Trump protest. #NoKings #50501Movement

BREAKING: US Marines deployed to Los Angeles have carried out the first known detention of a civilian, the US military confirms. It was confirmed to Reuters after they shared this image with the US military.

A remarkable photo likely to be on many front pages around the world tomorrow. The moment an Iranian ballistic missile struck downtown Tel Aviv. Credit to the photographer, Tomer Neuberg, providing images to AP.

A chilling message just posted by Iran’s armed forces as Tel Aviv is pummelled.

Israel can take out an Iranian commander 1000km away with a drone missile through a single bedroom wall, without any other damage. But to target a Hamas leader a few kilometres away, they need to raze whole neighborhoods to the ground. Is it obvious yet?

Much focus rightly on the assault on a US Senator. But this language. “Liberate” is a word US governments have used for places like Baghdad & Kabul. This is regime change on US soil.

Kristi Noem: “Nobody knew who he was” Literally, the first second of the video 👇

In every dictatorship, the democratic opposition is subject to intimidation and assault by the regime. It came to America today.

This is real.

This is the map of planned protests across the US this Saturday, June 14. Wow! Could be millions on the streets. #NoKings #50501Movement

NEW: 30 more executed at Gaza aid station this morning. The pattern is clear. Starving people queue for hours, a few boxes of food are thrown, then the firing squad begins. It is likely some of these gunmen are American militia. One of the worst war crimes in 80 years. (🎥 Sarah Wilkinson)

Guardian, UK edition. How the world now sees America. (✍️ Ben Jennings).

Horrendous. A man lying on the ground is repeatedly beaten by LA riot police, before one deliberately tramples him with horse. These officers should face charges. (🎥 Bricktop via X)

Some remarkable & dystopian photos of the crackdown on protests by Trump troops and LAPD over the weekend. All taken by LA-based photojournalist, Ethan Swope.

Great catch by photographer Andrew Caballero-Reynolds for AFP.

NEW: Paramount, California is a battleground right now. Riot police are using tear gas and what sounds like flash bangs/stun grenades against those protesting ICE’s deportation raids. Clearly some injuries (at 45 secs here). (🎥Credit: KNX News)

NEW: Unbelievable. A seemingly endless line of tanks & other military vehicles arrive in DC ahead of next week's parade. They departed Texas 5 days ago. What a colossal waste of time, money & military resources. All for a President who has shown zero respect for service personnel. (🎥 DW)

9 months on Bluesky now. What a great platform! But it’s time for a summer break. So news will be a little quieter here for the next fortnight 😎 But lots of other great accounts to follow - see pinned post. Back soon :-)

Ukraine used $47,000 in drones to inflict $7,000,000,000 of damage. War changed today. Forever.

“You don’t have the cards!” 🍊🤡

Last year, Russia imported 5.4 MILLION shipping containers. After today’s historic attack, every single one is a potential weapon that Putin is terrified of. Not only has Ukraine neutered Russia’s long-range air capability today, but they just crippled its supply chain & economy. Utter genius.
