Don't photograph anyone else at a protest either.

ProTip. Don’t photograph yourself at a protest.

Jess Piper @piperformissouri.bsky.social · 15h

Take a picture of yourself at the No Kings rally.

Print it.

Put it in a frame.

Your grandchildren will speak about you for generations to come. You took a stand against fascism. You stood up for democracy.

BREAKING from PP

We found immigration agents have held more than 170 *citizens*

The govt doesn't track citizens held. So we did. We tallied:

Nearly 20 kids, two w/ cancer

More than 20 citizens held for day or more, incommunicado

I-5 is Red Country. Will disrupt trucking lanes and weekend travel, most of it unrelated to the protest. This is the most hare brained thing ever.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social: "The Republicans attacks on the No Kings protests are sickening.

To them, only pro-Trump speech is protected. If you oppose Trump - you 'hate America' or you're a 'terrorist'.

What they're trying to do is simple: suppress turnout this weekend. Don't let them win."

That’s $5 billion more than the entire annual USAID budget. All to one country. To rescue one friend of the president’s.

Ilhan Omar @ilhanmn.bsky.social · 1d

Trump found another $20 BILLION to give to Argentina, totaling their bailout to $40 BILLION.

Yet we can’t afford to prevent millions of Americans from losing their healthcare.

Shame.

I have no use for ppl who are 1) not kind and 2) who are intolerant to folks not just like them. I’m not going out of my way to “own you” but rather steering clear of that altogether. These same ppl do not practice reciprocity either so you will always be left in the cold.
