the story today is of a profoundly low energy military parade being met with millions of americans in nationwide protests denouncing the dictatorial pretensions of the president

It is official! Despite tanks and planes, Trump’s parade was “listless and low-energy.”

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.

Very low energy. Sad!😂

Trump looking absolutely inconsolable at his fascist-themed 79th birthday party which no one turned up to other than those who had to because he's their boss.

I don't what I expected, but the massively oversized viewing stand for Trump & co. plus the width of the empty street manage to make the relatively small groups of soldiers and single-file vehicles streaming past seem kind of small and visually overwhelmed. It's not giving "glorious triumph."

The sheer, seething, blood-boiling hatred you could feel for Trump and his pack of Nazi rapists and murderers at that rally, with many signs calling them this more or less explicitly, is waiting, just waiting, for someone to really tap it

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: @artiscuriskis.bsky.social and I wrote about what it's like to be wearing a mask at New York's Nassau County's #NoKings rally for @motherjones.com. The county notoriously has a mask ban, making covering your face a form of resistance in itself. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

the way the far right is blatantly lying and trying to blame the assassination of democrats on democrats is one of the most disgusting things I have ever seen

“No Kings” is one of the sharpest bits of political branding/rhetoric in a while. Extremely concise and in every headline, historically rooted, specific to the American tradition but also universalist, nails what’s exceptional about Trump in a way that almost all factions in opposition can endorse.

Call me crazy, but I don't want to live through "years of lead" and I really don't think that doing so will end well for the causes that I care about!

Note we are much more heavily armed and our level of background violence is already much higher than it was in Italy. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Years_o...

Update: Gov. Walz confirms that Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed. Officials are “cautiously optimistic” that state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife will survive their injuries.

You know it would really help those of us critiquing neoliberalism if the term wasn't used as a bogeyman. "The Nintendo Switch 2 is $450 because of neoliberalism." "My bedtime is 10pm because of neoliberalism."
