I was thinking this morning that I want someone to report out in detail how on earth the logistics of a distributed mass protest like this works. Who is in charge of getting the permit and deciding on the location in, like, Lafayetteville?

Someone please report out the story on what group decided to do this & how the giant Constitution was created. ❤️📜

Ok, AI is good now.
A play in three acts
The greatest turnout for an inauguration in history. Just took us a while to get it together.
Mr. President sir the masses are celebrating your leadership
I did the same thing once and continued to find tiny little squares of Pyrex for years afterward. It's an insane and very unexpected explosion.
As someone who cares a lot about political communication, I'm floored by how good the messaging of No Kings is.

It gave millions of people with diverse interests a single, simple, noncontroversial position to rally around...and a foundation to empower creative expression. Just astonishingly good.

If you were out in the streets today, thanks. If you left feeling inspired, please seek out local ways that you can keep organizing with others.

The photos of enormous crowds in Times Square, etc are awesome, but my favorite genre of #nokings post will always be "Here's a photo of 500 protestors in Tinyburg, Mississippi, pop. 350."
There's no way to truly capture it on a phone camera, but the turnout in Times Square is comically huge.

I've been to dozens (100s?) of protests and this rivals and may surpass the March 2003 anti-Iraq War protests or the early 2017 anti-Trump protests.
I love this joke very much
Asked to leave the No Kings Protest because I showed up in a 1999 Sacramento Jason Williams jersey.
Shohei's second home run apparently went 469 feet (nice)! I've never seen a harder hit ball in my entire life. And getting 10 Ks mostly on swing-and-misses on his 100 mph fastball???? WTAF.
Haha. The original headline here was quite bad!
