It’s funny how if I see “pro-Democracy” in a bio now, I can safely assume they’re not Republican.

“Our parents aren’t having children”?

RFK Jr: "Today the average teenager in this country has 50% of the sperm count, 50% of the testosterone of a 65 year old man. Our girls are hitting puberty 6 years early ... our parents aren't having children."

Only attend No Kings if y'all believe in one or more of the following:

Equality, democracy, freedom of speech, the Constitution, LGBTQ+ rights, voting rights, women's rights, due process, diversity, museums, books, objective truth, stopping measles and not going to war with Portland and whatnot.

It says: My daughter loves to make "mitch" using baking soda, glue, and saline solution.

As a huge fan of Andor, and a person still clinging to hope, this poster about makes me cry. I love it.

I just uploaded “Presidents Shouldn’t Invade Their Own Countries.”

My local Walgreens does a weirdly fantastic job at printing these high-saturation posters and there is always at least a 50% off coupon. Right now, it’s “MEMORY” & makes them ~$19 per side for the 20x30.

Thank you!

They are all available as high-res downloads for free here: postimg.cc/gallery/Dz1g...

It looks like I didn’t upload “presidents shouldn’t invade.” I can do that now.

Thank you! Planning on it—I’ll have about 100 signs to give away—mostly 18x24, but about a dozen big ones like these.

I’m bringing both, but have to choose one to actually carry because I’m putting “DISOBEY ILLEGAL ORDERS” on the back.

Which would you choose? I keep waffling.

Two posters on a mostly turquoise rug.

The one on the left says presidents shouldn’t invade their own countries. It is on a blue on blue background with “no kings” repeating. At the bottom is a cartoon of Trump in a tank headed toward uncle Sam.

On the right is a blue on blue repeating no kings background with the text US cities are not military training grounds.

I don’t think pride is a bad thing.

Pride and shame are important parts of regulating our behavior — and getting us to do what’s right.

If you’re going to the No Kings rally this weekend, I’m proud of you, and you should be too.

A graphic that has a blue on blue background with the words no kings repeating.

On the left is the crown with an X through it. Underneath that it says no kings.

On the right is a picture of a happy frog, and under that it says only frogs.

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos."

Post from WH about Chicago "in chaos," showing scene from another state.

There are flowers and balloons.

At the beginning, there is a baby crying.

At the end, there’s no baby crying.
I think they took the baby.

I'll be Durham NC marching, waving a sign, chanting, and soaking in the energy of a pro-democracy affirmation of my First Amendment Right to peaceably assemble and present my grievances to the government.

* I would have thought it would say Madison & 3rd or Jefferson & 3rd if it were on the Mall, or just “the Mall”

BeingHelpish 💙 🇺🇦 @beinghelpish.bsky.social · 6h

Does anyone know if No Kings DC is on the street or on the Mall?

The official location of the DC No Kings rally is Pennsylvania Ave between 3rd & 9th Streets.

I keep hearing politicians say it’s on the Mall.

I’m bringing about 100 extra posters & want to figure out how far I’ll be dragging them!

All the Republicans are doing with these talking points is solidifying our plans and getting more people to come.

Republicans are melting down over millions of Americans peacefully protesting against Trump on Saturday.

Cancún Cruz is scared because the GOP’s authoritarian agenda is becoming even more unpopular as our defiance grows even stronger.

Acyn on Twitter: “Cruz: Follow the money. Cut off the money. You look at this No Kings rally—there's considerable evidence that George Soros and his network is behind funding these rallies which may well turn into riots.

I've introduced legislation that would allow DOJ to use RICO to prosecute the money that is funding these No Kings Protests”

Jeffries: "The effort to mischaracterize the rallies that are gonna take place all across the country is part of the continued right-wing disinformation machine that is failing to persuade the American people."

agree! Used to have an ebay business that required shipping materials. Ordered from uline until I got a catalog and saw the note from management. Can’t remember what it said, but clearly pro-Trump. Never used them again.

Uline's owners "have used their wealth to funnel millions of dollars into the most extreme RW politicians & mvmts... contributed $144 million to conservative groups in the 2024 election cycle... donated $4+ million to bankroll anti-abortion groups who pushed to overturn Roe v Wade."
