these are our brothers and we should be building a better world together

This is the first act of violence I have seen today and, it is LAPD against an elderly man.

The Pretty in Pink/Back to the Future crossover you’ve been waiting for. #NoKings Los Angeles!!! (Leah Thompson is a real one)

This is like giving John Gotti a get-out-of-jail free card to testify against a supposed low-level person on his payroll. Just unheard of and makes clear that Abrego Garcia is being framed to cover up Trump's egregious human rights abuses against Garcia.

they are gonna break upon us

I asked ART, Do you want World Hoppers or something new? ART considered, poking thoughtfully at the tag data for the new show. It said, New, as long as it’s not realistic.

wow you can literally see the moment tear gas was deployed here - no agitation, no verbal warning, the crowd was chilling!! good ol’ LAPD at work putting our millions in tax dollars to good use

No

today is a good reminder that, even as they try to tear this country down around our ears, they are clowns who should be laughed at

oh right, the vibes: the crowd getting out at 42nd/Bryant Park for No Kings reminded me of the way the Women’s March started basically as soon as you got off the Metro, you’d just get swept into a little march before getting to the rally, only there’s too many people there already so it’s all march

yes, they’re handing out a lot of complex instructions on how civilians in the field should verify its a real cop when the obvious solution is to not answer your door for one under any circumstance.

The attendants of Trump’s parade were mostly men because he can’t make women come.

YOU’RE AT THE TYRANT’S BALL (what?) YOU’RE AT THE FAUX PARADE (what?) YOU’RE AT THE COMBINATION TYRANT’S BALL AND FAUX PARADE

Many wonderful photos from today’s Pride and No Kings events, but this photo of @pressley.house.gov at Boston Pride may be my absolute favorite

There is a massive opportunity here but only if we can maintain and build momentum; we cannot let off the gas on this, not even a little

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

Official estimate: 5 million attendees at #NoKings, up from 3 million for #HandsOff

One block over from the White House: the aspirational security line setup

HAPPY FLAG DAY

They tried to get a NO KINGS chant going this afternoon in Worcester and I’m like… you guys, this is 500 middle-aged suburban white people, how do you think this is gonna go

Do you know how badly you have to screw up as a Republican to get this kind of turnout in IDAHO? #NOKINGS

Snow More Kings

Ok, the Melissa sign genuinely made me choke up

NO FUCKIN KINGS Worcester, MA #NoKings

I’m kind of tickled that @marisakabas.bsky.social ‘s “Tom Homan is a bitch” project seems to be picking up momentum

Given that we now have credible reports that the shooter was driving a vehicle outfitted with emergency lights like a police cruiser, and was in fact wearing police-style body armor, it is absolutely appropriate to ask why we are so sure that he *isn't* actually a police officer.

#NoKings Worcester, MA

Tip I learned years ago from a longtime organizer who is also an attorney: If you are not sure if a person approaching you is a cop, and you do not feel safe, drive to the nearest *fire department* and call 911 and tell them (don't ask) that you're stopping for the cop at a FD. Here's why.

assassins dress like cops bc that’s who’s allowed to murder people in broad daylight

Pelosi recently missed being assassinated and her husband was almost killed but mainstream media are so far gone they quickly downplayed the political murder attempts. Now another Dem leader and her husband are dead and still most of what we will hear about tomorrow is the fascist’s parade.

I need more fellow white folks to grapple with the complexity of this history and the day to day reality it presents. Right now, in my city, a dear friend and elected is being politically charged by the same police that she's supposed to trust to protect her from violent threats and harassment. How?

The contrasting images of a DC ghost town/military parade and 1800 American cities and towns with well-attended protests is going to drive Trump batty.

I will hold the line on this. Right-wing violence has far more support, materially, institutionally and ideologically, in the U.S. than left-wing violence. There is no both-sidesing it.

Jesus. The juxtaposition of these two posts back to back is just...

We have entered the "The police is saying that if the police is at your door you are not safe call the police immediately" stage of making America great again
