This is perfect

I'm under no illusion that we're still in a minority as same sex parents, but the fact that the eldest was able to get this card without any trouble says how far we've come as a society.

look closely 🤣😭

To all of the DAD'S 🫶🏾

We jumped on BlueSky after November 6, specifically to generate US protests and trigger mass movements under the principles of Binding Chaos and the #3E movement. To end impunity, end oligarchy, and end autogenocide. If you are here because of us, we appreciate all the work you have done. #3E

Boomers Turned out 🇺🇸 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Much respect ✊🏻 #SheShed

I doubt anyone will see me post, but this needs to be known... if you have a visible following please repost 💙🔥💙 Admitting he wants "his people... aka US " to behave like north Korea for Kim Jong Un.🤬

Rand Paul: "I've never liked the idea of the parade. I grew up in the '70s and '80s, and the only parades I can remember are Soviet parades for the most part or North Korean parades. The parades I remember from our history were different...we never glorified weapons so much...then there is the cost"

Yesterday, millions of us reasserted the “We” in "We the people." We gained strength from our solidarity. We celebrated our numbers and our power. We will be steadfast. We will not cower to a dictator. We will win.

We did it. We really did it. 💙💙💙

Kharkiv firefighters rescued a kitty after 3 days under the rubble. 😽 Just look at his humans' faces!

To our friends & allies across the globe who today stood in solidarity with those of us in the US who are angry, scared, & mortified: thank you for your grace, your light, & your empathy. Thank you for your support of those of us who aren't in the cult. We see you & are grateful.

Boycotts against Trump outside of the US are already happening, there is a need for a domestic one inside the US. These are tricky as they will inflict damage to local economies. The Olympics and FIFA World Cup games need to be cancelled; removing them from the US will be a major blow to the regime.

As the co-chair of the British American Parliamentary Group, it was a pleasure to host Members of Parliament from the United Kingdom this week on Capitol Hill. We discussed ways to promote and grow the economic & trade relationship between our two countries.

It was the honor of a lifetime to speak at the historic San Diego #NoKings march today. Here are two short clips, with my gratitude. 1 of 2:

To the dads who protected us, provided for us, showed up—and taught us how to stand ten toes down: we see you, we love you, we thank you. Happy Father’s Day.

The Hortman family helped raise and train dogs to partner with veterans. One of the many reasons we will miss Melissa and Mark.

The most consequential Speaker in state history.

No kings, no subjects by Heather Marsh: "Every day of any dictatorship, but especially one this accelerated, makes it harder to remove, but the US people are progressing quickly as well." #3E #BindingChaos www.patreon.com/posts/no-kin...

Wherever you are, stand. Today I joined my fellow Americans in front of our Embassy in London. I’m so grateful to Indivisible London and the hundreds of Brits who joined us in solidarity. #London #NoTyrants @indivisiblelondon.bsky.social

🥹 Millions of Americans are coming together on this #NoKings Day to reject authoritarian overreach, defend democracy, and stand up for their communities.

No Kings in Pasadena

👏👏👏🍀💚HH

What a contrast: On the one hand, one grandiose spectacle in the nation's capital, a panorama of propaganda put on by an aspiring autocrat. On the other hand, thousands of assemblies of free citizens across the nation, authentic celebrations of the proposition that here the people rule.

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.

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

This guy was awesome for letting me pose with his flag.

You can’t see me bc I’m holding a flag but guys I live in a 2k person extremely rural town in one of the reddest counties of WI. So many people showed up there was a line all the way to the highway. I often feel a bit afraid due to my identity in this area but #nokings brought out so many

Coordinating with emergency officials at @caloes.bsky.social to keep Californians safe. To those protesting today: don’t match their chaos — rise above it. Speak out, peacefully.

Over 4.8 million and counting and many events haven’t even kicked off yet. We’re aiming for over 10 million today to hit the 3.5% rule. The crowds are massive and still growing. We are so proud of all of you. Huge shoutout to Texas you showed up!

Raskin: You are not our king, and we are not your subjects. We will never be your subjects. All of us born here on this land are citizens and your executive order is nothing but bad graffiti on the Constitution, and we're going to wash it off today

What an incredible day in Philly. People turned out from PA, NJ and DE to stand together and say #NoKings.

Make sure your phone is charged, get an external battery, film everything!

WHAT FOX WILL NEVER SHOW YOU!! The news won't show you this because they have a narrative to spin.

Mass protests tomorrow June 14, across the United States, make sure to carry proper protection such as umbrellas, water, sunscreen, milk, appropriate footwear, and whatever else you need to have a safe and peaceful protest. #3E #NoKingsProtest #StopICE

Today's #NoKingsDay in America coincides with Trooping the Colour!

This man is my hero because he’s a member of the United States Air Force and is standing by his #Oath to the #Constitution! I’m hoping that since he has taken the lead others will follow because this is what a true American Soldier looks like! Remember your Oath to the Constitution

Levin: I have to give a shoutout to MeidasTouch, because on April 5th, a lot of the corporate media, a lot of the legacy media, was not closely covering the single largest peaceful day of protest in years—but MeidasTouch was.
