The current estimate of today’s “No Kings” rally and march in San Diego is 60,000 peaceful protestors. It was a beautiful day. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8rLv8sg/

The closest journalist in my life spends every waking second trying to warn everyone, do their own work, and manage this feeling. We must *all* carry this fire from today forward! We CANNOT leave the urgency of our collective dangerous reality for the folks at the front lines to carry alone!

It’s wild how quickly Andor slotted into protest culture, given how different the show is from other frequently referenced pop culture—it’s the rare sci-fi property that doesn’t just depict resistance, but grapples with necessary violence. No clean heroism. Just exhaustion and sacrifice.

That Miller RT is so pathetic LMAO

I think it’s safe to say that Bluesky is VERY USEFUL during major news cycles. I’ve been able to dig up images & vids from protests around the country & saw breaking news in Salt Lake and other spots within minutes. THAT’S the metric I care about. THAT’S the sign this place is very much alive.

Hegseth crying in envy rn

June 14, 2025. To the millions who showed up today. You participated in one of the largest single day protests in American history. And you did it in a week that was the most authoritarian week of the Trump presidency. It matters. Thank you. And keep building.

“Democrat Amanda Clinton, a citizen of the Cherokee Nation, claimed a decisive win in Tuesday’s special election for Oklahoma House District 71, becoming the fourth consecutive woman—and third consecutive Democratic woman—to represent the district.”

I’m Kat Abughazaleh and I approve this message.

You’re seeing a lot on TV rn about force and misconduct in Los Angeles sheriff department's role. Well, here’s what happened when someone tried to get serious about bringing accountability to the department: she faced huge pushback… and now she faces criminal charges. boltsmag.org/the-curious-...

7:54pm, LAPD have made it impossible for people to exit downtown. The curfew starts at 8.

a big day for police doing what they’re good at: rioting against peaceful protesters and letting killers escape

and again, holy shit

The level of being drunk where you develop the European Roseanne Barr Accent.

Every riot is a police riot

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

@msnbc.com reporter at the 1:15 mark. “The chaos you’re seeing is not the result of peaceful protestors, it’s the result of actions of law enforcement, specifically the Los Angeles sheriff’s department.” #nokings

I’m guessing if you combine the events in Saline and Chelsea, there were more people at No Kings events in just the Ann Arbor area than there were at Trump’s tank parade.

What do you do with an electorate that thinks up is down & black is white? You wait for them to learn the hard way

Worth zooming in!

Every riot is a police riot

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!THIS IS SUCH GOOD NEWS ON SUCH A HARD DAY I LOVE THIS

The No Kings rallies represented a huge swath of the American people- and were joyous, resolute and non violent with one message- don’t let anyone take our democracy away www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Vance having to attend this nightmare on his wedding anniversary is too much schadenfreude. I can't. I'm overloading.

Nobody is rioting. Nobody is breaking any laws. These are cops in my city of Las Vegas just assaulting and arresting anyone on Fremont Street who looks at them. This is fascism.

We are a proud country of Haters. Kendrick performing Not Like Us during halftime of the Superbowl is the most American shit that has ever happened

Police are filling the streets with tear gas at peaceful protesters from No Kings Day at Temple and Los Angeles in DTLA ~ @shoton35mm.bsky.social

It was rainy, overcast, cold. We stood still for an hour at 42nd street because too many people to move forward. When we finally moved, took about 1.5 hrs to get to about 23rd street. Best sign: I like my city like my cocktails, neat. NO ICE.

“it was really good to finally see you perform” friend energy

I may not be able to top this one no matter how much I cruise the feeds. I'm actually a bit choked up at this.
