It’s that time again. Post your favorite signs from today for entry in my Top 15 No King sign contest!

Here's something I post from time to time. My answer to a reader who asked me: what could journalists do NOW to break with some of their more corrosive habits.

I wrote about the political violence in Minnesota for The Atlantic -- and how we now live in a climate where this is likely to keep happening, as Trump's violent rhetoric has normalized, encouraged, and absolved political violence.

lol.

Trump parade vs No Kings march, San Diego

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

Everyone needs to see these photos from today: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/millions-p...

Despite warnings from the law enforcement not to attend today’s No Kings rally after this mornings shooting of Minnesota lawmakers with the killer on the lose, the No Kings Rally is happening at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul.

There must be an office or someone at DoD who understands the symbolism and protocol of parade routes, so this has to be deliberate. The Secretary of the Army ought to be asked about this

Some thoughts about the military parade in my hometown of Washington DC today -- specifically, the route. Military parades in DC are quite rare. But when they happen, they have always begun, symbolically and geographically, at the Capitol and moved outward. 1/

They're exactly the Nazis you think they are. Trump, Musk, Miller, Vought—the whole lot. Their game is to gaslight you into feeling shame and doubt over your accurate, wholly evidence-based assessment that they're Nazis. Trust yourself. You have it right.

If Trump's tariff regime endures, the world economy will lose $1 trillion by 2030, and will cost the US 650,000 jobs, Bloomberg Economics predicts

He did not work for Walz, he was reappointed to a bipartisan commission. He had a hit list of 70, including Demoractic lawmakers, abortion providers, and pro-abortion activists. Spin all you want then delete your account.

The AP identifies the suspect in the Minnesota shootings as 57-year-old Vance Boelter. apnews.com/article/minn...

"It is not popular to cut healthcare benefits, it's especially not popular to cut healthcare benefits when you're also, in the same piece of legislation, giving a really big tax break to very, very wealthy people." @citizencohn.bsky.social joins @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social on The Focus Group pod:

As Gavin Newsom keeps pointing out, some of these Guardsmen are full-time fire prevention/response and others are supposed to be fighting fentanyl trafficking.

PEACEFUL all over USA. When Red state govs. panic and call up the guard, they show they are afraid of their own voters. The only violence comes from the horrible violence in Minn and Trump's out-of-control assault on LA. Fascism is always violent. In a democracy we settle differences peacefully.

Scenes from the soggy yet spirited No Kings rally in Dublin, Ireland, today. We did our part… Excited to see what you do, America! We love you! #nokings

Apparently channeling Chappell Roan, the crowd along Walker Street in Houston has begun singing, “G O T T O G O this motherfucker has got to go.”

I’m at the No Kings protest in downtown Syracuse, NY where thousands of people are lining both sides of a main street. Cars honk in support as they go by.

"We are here to tell Mr. Donald Trump - we are not going to bow to fascism. We are not going to bow to authoritarianism."

Chants of "Immigrants and trans folks are welcome here" in Downtown Houston

Happening now: a massive crowd growing in Chicago for this afternoon's No Kings march. We'll update as we can. Service is spotty right now.
