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

MAGA is a death cult

This is what democracy looks like

Some thoughts about the military parade in my hometown of Washington DC today -- specifically, the route. Military parades in DC are quite rare. But when they happen, they have always begun, symbolically and geographically, at the Capitol and moved outward. 1/

In America, we have no Kings, no Queens, no nobles, no dictators, and no emperors. We have no slaves, no serfs and no subjects. Just us—‘We the People.’

This is a political assassination in a narrowly divided state legislature. It was intended to change the balance of power through violence and to end progressive legislating. It’s terrorism, pure and simple.

Yesterday. He said this yesterday. 👇

Gov. Tim Walz says Democratic Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were shot and killed last night in “a political assassination.”

Shortly after the Atlanta #nokings event kicked off at 10, organizers said Liberty Plaza near the state Capitol had already reached maximum capacity of 5,000.

US Veterans peacefully protesting Trump’s military birthday parade arrested at Capitol Hill. This is the moment a 80+ year old US veteran is taken away in handcuffs for practicing his 1st Amendment right. #3E #NoKings #NoKingsProtests (🎥 @gregjstoker.bsky.social )

Hit the streets tomorrow. Be nonviolent. Be joyfully defiant. Be defiantly joyful. Ridicule him. Condemn fascism. Oppose I.C.E. Affirm diversity. Embody America. Love your neighbor. Refuse to be intimidated. Be safe. Be loud. Be encouraged. #NoKingsDay

Pete Hegseth better make sure he gets a pardon Because it sure looks like he violated the Posse Comitatus Act "Whoever..uses..the [military] as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both" 18 US Code § 1385

Man, that's a really well-edited No Kings Day video. From www.nokings.org

NEWS E. Jean Carroll wins another round against Trump, as a federal appeals court declines to reconsider an appeal of the $5 million verdict en banc. Two judges of the 13-strong bench dissent. Both Trump appointees. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The Department of Homeland Security is lying. @padilla.senate.gov identified himself. Urging everyone to go out and righteously and peacefully exercise your freedom of speech and assembly. That’s how we take back our country.

i've been trying to see what the right wing platforms (even outside of X) are showing people regarding the protests in LA and i am not sure it can be overstated just how much the AI slop is being used to reinforce the idea that downtown is a post-apocalyptic war zone

New Comms pod just dropped

The WSJ news pages expands on the NYT: since Stephen Miller demanded ICE increase its numbers, they’ve started grabbing people without even checking their immigration status, let alone their criminal history. Gift link: www.wsj.com/us-news/prot...

May the anti-ICE movement continue to spread nationwide! This is the Los Angeles spirit your news broadcast isn’t showing…

Los Angeles FC crowd chants, "Fuck ICE."

Gavin Newsom and his team are doing a good job at social media. Using comebacks and memes to just straight up murder muffukahs. Pay attention, Dems. This is how it’s done.

That’s something

This whole unleash-the-military on our citizens is literally on page 555 of Project 25. We were warned. And still this asshole was voted in.

NOW: 500 LA solidarity protesters are trying to March from the Texas Capitol to the local ICE processing center three blocks away and are being blocked by Austin PD.

This is my California! ✊ We will not be intimidated or silenced by the military might being used against us. #FreedomToDissent

It’s so stupid we have to fucking say the obvious 👇

An important reminder for EVERY member of our military, share it: “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." (In fact, Republicans in Congress could use a reminder about their oaths too. 202-224-3121) #FreedomToDissent

The LAPD Chief has weighed in on Marines being deployed. Basically: Why is this necessary?

This current national guard deployment in CA is an attempt to scare organizers next Saturday. It will only inflame them.

The GOP is a death cult. Exhibit: WTF

This is the way to stand up to these bullies! Respect ✊

FOX: Fox News alert… looks like a band is performing to a crowd in the street.. we see crowds building in Atlanta. You can see megaphones and signs

Bravo, Glendale. Bravo. More, please. And it's time for Democrats to loudly say, "Abolish ICE." Someone please stand up and have a spine.

The LAPD whenever they think no one can see

He knows that he is evil

Boycotting AI is like protesting high tide. It’s coming no matter how we feel about it.
