The 6 Republican installed Scotus need to go. McConnell stole some seats, taking away the will of the people, and now we are left with fascist leaning RWers that need to be fired immediately.

Protesters gathering at Grant Park plan to march a 2.5-mile route that will take them past Trump Tower, continuing south to Federal Plaza near the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility on Ida B. Wells Drive, before returning to Grant Park.

I laugh when MAGA creeps complain that a subject needs to be dropped, like it's old news nobody should care about, even if it just occurred a week ago. The Deep South has been fuming about the results of the Civil War since 1865. 3 days = old news. 160 years = still a big deal to Dixie racists.

This panoramic shot doesn’t begin to capture the huge size of the crowd at the #NoKings protest in Orlando. There’s a sea of thousands of people — not just in front of City Hall but also down all the nearby streets!!!

Lotta folks here at No Kings, Orange County NC.

Lots of American flags, a fellow in an inflatable dino costume asking everyone if they've read the Declaration of Independence and handing out copies.

No kings in North Carolina.

Standing room only on the Green Line in Washington, DC as protestors head to the “No Kings” protest.

Person behind me: “The trains weren’t even this packed for the Beyoncé concert”

The entire train is full as more people pack on. Follow this thread for updates!

Me: "What happens is that everybody looks for somebody else to stand up and to defy the authoritarianism. But once you get enough people doing it, it becomes safe to do it. You become excited about doing it. And that's what I think is going to happen this weekend with the #NoKings rallies."

WATCH: “It seems like the harder that MAGA leans into the authoritarianism, the more people are finding the voice to push back,” says Chris Hayes. George Conway and Invisible's Ezra Levin join to discuss.

I keep saying this, it never gets any traction. He is the antichrist. The devil. There hasn't been a human being (a bit of a stretch there to call the piece of shit human) this despicable since Hitler. I will pose the question. If you could go back in time, knowing what Hitler did, would you act?
