Something just hit me. Trump’s tactics might have just awakened a sleeping giant. All day, I’ve been seeing clips of children of immigrants newly activated: speaking up and pushing back harder than their parents ever could. Future voters.

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

Who created the No Kings protest so we know who to thank? A coalition of around 200 organizations, including the American Federation of Teachers, American Civil Liberties Union and Communications Workers of America, organized the protests.

1/ Finally back after SF No Kings protest. Upshot: At least 50k, maybe as much as 100K, in attendance. crowd was diverse in all ways, lots of young people. Music, dancing, good vibes.

What a legacy and what a tragedy 19thnews.org/2025/06/rep-...

Trump’s unhappy. But not unhappy enough.

I’m Kat Abughazaleh and I approve this message.

More than five million Americans in over 2,100 towns and cities joined us today to say we don't do kings in this country. Thank you for making it clear that we won't be ruled by fear.

I need everyone on Normal People internet to know that American Girl Doll Instagram is doing doll protests today. There are tiny t-shirts and signs. AND THEN I realized it's a joint protest with the Barbie ppl, where there are EVEN TINIER SIGNS.

The FBI is offering “a reward of up to $50,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Vance L. Boelter.” Boelter is a suspect in the targeted shooting of Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota.

Thank you, NYC. #NoKings.

For those claiming protests don’t mean anything… How do you think movements are built, fueled, sustained, & grown? How do you prove the spirit of resistance is loud, proud, present, & powerful? How do you prove democracy is loved, valued, & worth fighting for? This IS what democracy looks like.

Here is the Minnesota shooter giving a sermon in Congo, blasting American churches for not taking a stronger anti-abortion stance. He says, “God is going to raise up apostles and prophets in America to correct his church.”

When Congress funded the DOD, there was no line item for big-boy birthday presidential military parades. Where did the money for Trump’s vainglorious spectacle come from? Cutting Army pay and benefits? Reducing training? Or just Departmental slush funds from bloated annual budgets?

We're capturing children off the street at gunpoint to get one last ride of garish nostalgia for an America that never was. A future dramatically better is available at the end of this, and the choice will be stark for anyone with a brain, but we've gotta be loud and uncompromising in the meantime.

"Fortunate Son" by Creedence Clearwater Revival is a protest song that critiques the social injustice and class disparities within the Vietnam War draft system.

Protester: I’m going into fourth grade and I’m 9 years old

Good morning, I am at the ghost town that is the Army Birthday Celebration, excited to experience what promises to be an incredibly stupid day The Army Strength Competition is about to begin Let's do this 🧵

It's .........very cosplay so far here at Trump's birthday parade. Those wigs must be so damn hot Let's do this! 🧵

Good. We, on the other hand, had a FABULOUS time at our #NoKings march & rally in Brattleboro VT. 😁

Where were the 200,000+ people who were supposed to be at Trump's military parade? Right here:

Tens of thousands came out to #NoKings San Diego. Zero arrests. The only violence is that I was stung by a bee.

I want to remind everyone that the White House and the GOP have been systematically dismantling protections for abortion providers and clinics ever since Trump took office

Minnesota’s flags will fly at half staff in honor and remembrance of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman. She woke up every morning determined to make Minnesota a better place, and she will be greatly missed.
