Just constantly saying it out loud - retweeting it even! - and people still want to ignore that the whole thing is a white nationalist movement?

Any suggestions on how to join in solidarity for those of us that have to work? I’m a hairstylist with my own salon suite so I thought about putting the “No Kings” poster in my window but I’m not sure if that’s enough.

You may have noticed that folks who are from Chicago love this city. There's a reason for that. I walked to the lake with friends yesterday, and when I saw the waves rolling in, I felt something shift back into place inside of me. So many parts of this city are part of me. We will defend this place.

This dumb b painted a mural of the Uvalde victims and then added CK because he “also died of gun violence.” The Uvalde parents have told her how hateful and offensive this is & she’s doubling down. She’s getting annihilated in the comments on TikTok — join us!

Good lord, fascists are sooo dumb that they can’t even do a “gotcha” comment right.

Dude needs to change his handle to “perfectly idiotic.”

You just don’t get it, Shana, she is a GENIUS and way about the common person’s level

This is a long and important read. I want nothing for bad things for these people.

(Also, fwiw, these are 30 year olds saying this stuff, not 16 year olds like “young” would suggest.)

If I didn’t know better, I would most definitely assume this was an ocean. The Great Lakes don’t get near the credit of their vastness & beauty that they deserve.

I’ll believe it when I see it; this is “predicted” every year and nothing extra happens lol. I think last year in Chicagoland we saw ~maybe~ a foot of snow in total. Our HOA plowed our driveway only once the entire season.

It’s qYTe obvious as to why that is, unfortunately.

I appreciate your clarity — I can promise you that the majority of this country (esp those of us on BSKY) will have a damn party the day he ☠️🪦.
My response wasn’t supposed to be a “dig” at the Royal Family, just stating a fact that they no longer make governmental decisions for the UK.

THE BRITISH ARE COMING!!!

…but it’s just @squaresquirrel.bsky.social upset because I, *check notes*, am showing gratitude to the UK for joining us in the No Kings protest.

Okay I’m gonna need you to calm tf down lmao. I am *not* your targeted audience with this one.

FWIW, I’m not sure their monarch actually makes decisions on the laws/policies anymore

This has been a poor choice thus far but I’m still holding onto hope!

I’m jumping on the Toronto Blue Jays bandwagon because how poetic would it be for a Canadian team to be the champions of a sport dubbed “America’s Past-time.” 🥹😅

I’ve even seen Cubs fans that support it bc “the Cubs should be better” and it’s like…you’re missing the point in its entirety

I seriously want to slap Johnson right across the face and send him back home to “Mother” (iykyk).

Why did they make their celebration about the Cubs losing instead of them winning? It’s such weirdo behavior lol

Amelia🤍🧜🏻‍♀️ @m3rmaidmelia.bsky.social · 1d

They don’t know what it’s like to win the WS, that’s why lol, so to them it is
