We had three calls for a medic before we even started marching - people getting dizzy in the heat. Don,t forget to take some water and even a portable fan with you. Big crowds get hot!

Holy sh*t! Protesters are lined up for a mile in the small town of Geneva, Illinois for the No Kings rally!

“Law enforcement also found a Father’s Day card addressed to the suspect in a bag full of ammunition, the official said.”

When Heather Heyer was murdered, I think a lot of people finally understood that if anybody was outside protesting anything there was now clearly a more than zero chance of getting murdered for protesting and I have complicated feelings about people listening to authorities about protests, frankly.

Do not be silenced. Be safe. Have a plan. Use signal to communicate, have a party buddy. No kings.

i think i’m going to log off for awhile i don’t really understand how to cope with the assassination of a person i knew for 20 years. i can’t really comprehend that it is real, and I can’t imagine going back to the capitol and knowing she won’t be there.

Downtown Saint Paul traffic is insane right now. Do take the Green Line to the protest rather than the B Line!

people are kinds running aeay with a detail i think is important, but papers that just say "no kings" are not protest flyers.

I am heartbroken over the assassination of Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark. She was undoubtedly a public leader who gave so much of herself in her service to the people of Minnesota.

B Line is detoured via the Summit Hill due to protest crowds. This is crazy! I don't know if a bus has ever gone up this hill, or ever will again.

Out of all the things Speaker Hortman helped to accomplish, making sure every child going to school here in MN gets fed will forever stand out as a stellar example of how government should work. It also further exposed the abject cruelty of MN Republicans, so there's that, too.

Like people think there’s a central authority that can cancel a protest titled “No Kings”

The Minnesota Lynx honored Seimone Augustus going into the Hall of Fame with a pregame ceremony today. Also had a moment of silence for the tragedy, punctuated by one fan yelling “Melissa” into the silence and another following with “No Kings, motherfuckers!” and the crowd cheered.

What we don't know: Was the suspect who assassinated Rep Hortman & her husband a member of law enforcement or just impersonating one? Reports are that he was impersonating one, but is that fact or #Copaganda? #MNLegShootings

No rally is ever safe. Do what is right for you & your families. There are small protests & gatherings everywhere. In the face of fascism & violence a response is necessary. Did they think the Proud Boys, KKK, Right Wing Militia just vanished? They were always out there. There was always a risk.

Hauser reporting that State Patrol has brand new fancy helicopter they showed off at Capitol last week, asked reporter on scene whether he had seen helicopter in area helping with search near Edinburg and the answer was no. #MNLegShootings

State Patrol just tweeted a photo purportedly of images from the suspect's car that has sheets of paper saying "No Kings". MN State Patrol wants people to stay home and not protest. There were 2 sheets of paper that said "No Kings" but if today has taught us anything it is: don't trust police.

There are few times I am at a loss for words. Today is one of those days. I’m mourning the devastating loss of my friend Speaker Melissa Hortman and her devoted husband Mark Hortman.

Leader Hortman was a tireless advocate for all Minnesotans. She championed the 2024 ERPO Law and many public safety laws. It is tragic that Melissa and Mark Hortman are, like too many Americans, victims of gun violence. #mnleg

This was the thing I noticed right away. And before we knew anyone had died, "attempted assassination" is also more descriptive than "targeted shooting".

Catholic Archbishop of Minneapolis-St. Paul: “Please join my in praying for the repose of the souls of Speaker Emerita Hortman and her husband, and for Representative Hoffman and his wife. May the Prince of Peace lead us away from such senseless violence.”

The note that was mentioned in the news conference is that the police had proactively gone to Representative Hortman's address after responding to Senator Hoffman's shooting which allowed them to discover the shooter on premesis & his vehicle in the driveway. #MNLegShootings

Brooklyn Park Police chief says at news conference that it is assumed that the suspect fled out the back of the Hoffman home and they have been searching for him since then. The suspect is described as wearing full police gear including badge, vest, belt with taser & gun. #MNLegShooting

Due to a shelter-in-place order and ongoing safety concerns following a shooting that targeted two elected officials, the No Kings protest in Northeast Minneapolis has been canceled. Our thoughts are with the victims, their families, and the communities impacted by this horrifying violence.

Speaker Hortman was a bold and brave leader who made hard decisions and fought for the people of Minnesota every single day. She and her husband Mark did not deserve to die. My heart goes out to their children.

While MN waits for news on the conditions of the Dem legislators, we can look back at one of the times that Melissa Hortman was a great ally and refused to apologize after she called out the shitty behavior of fellow (white male) legislators. bringmethenews.com/minnesota-ne...

So KSTP just showed police officers checking vehicles as they exit Edinburgh, but they didn't check whether those people driving the cars own the cars. In theory, the suspect could have stolen the car, changed clothes and just driven out. Or perhaps I've watched too many British Detective shows.
