BREAKING: No Kings Day numbers are approaching the critical key 3.5%... Political scientist's "3.5% rule" states that no government has EVER held power after 3.5% of voters take to the streets. Let's go!!!

As democracy teeters on life support. An orange tyrant fiddles like Nero to the sound of jackboots. It will not be saved by backroom strategists in smoke filled rooms, or pollsters or writers of stern letters of concern but by the actions of "we the people" who refuse to let it die!
No More Kings!

They are trying to silence speech and the foundation of our democracy and WE WILL NOT LET THEM! Keep marching, keep speaking up, keep speaking out, and keep practicing democracy every day! ❌👑✊

That was my takeaway after attending the protest in Chicago today. It has to happen in DC in a big way. The biggest problem I see is housing. I've been to several protests in DC during earlier times (Bush era) and it gets pretty tricky to find a place to stay.

Anyone who wished to could sign it as they rolled it out . Was amazing to watch. Sorry to inform the Right wing propagandists, but contrary to their "hate America" bs, this was massive love of country and constitution. Lots of former military, too, btw.

I was there. It was hard to tell how many because it was spread out, especially south toward Buckingham Fountain. It is my understanding that the "normal" capacity for the park area is approx 50k...it certainly exceeded that, And organizers are saying about 9million Nationwide.

It's looking like nearly or maybe more than a doubling of June numbers....awesome.

Organizers have reported 7 million attendees at the No Kings events and we’re happy to confirm 7 million and counting! More events are still happening across the country today, so we’ll need additional time to fully certify the final numbers.

During the shutdown Kristi Noem has now ordered two, not one but two, planes costing between $172m and $200m to fly from photo shoot to photo shoot. Hey MAGATS, how's that grocery bill looking, morons?

Coast Guard bought Kristi Noem two private jets (I guess if one breaks down). Cost: $172 million. Is that what you call draining the swamp?
