Good evening. We estimate that between 4.2 and 7.6 million people turned out for the No Kings Day demonstrations held around the country on Saturday. This makes Oct 18 very likely the biggest single-day U.S. protest event since 1970. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/second-no-...

Second "No Kings Day" protests likely the largest single-day political demonstration since 1970, with 4.2-7.6 million participants

Ich verkürze die Debatte für euch mal ein wenig. Was Friedrich Merz eigentlich sagen will:

Meine Frau: „Gestern haben viele Menschen gegen den Chef von Amerika demonstriert.“

Der Sechsjährige: „Hat Deutschland auch einen Chef?“

Ich: „Jedes Land hat einen Chef oder eine Chefin.“

Er: „Ich wünschte, das wäre nicht so.“

Ich schwöre, ich denke mir das nicht aus. 🥰

Es wäre so wichtig, VOR der Machtübernahme aufzustehen - beVOR Leute von maskierten Schlägern festgenommen und verschleppt werden, Bücher gebannt, Millionen entlassen und quasi die gesamte Forschung und Windparks gestoppt werden etc.😰😰😰

Albuquerque NM had 80,000 or so, in a peaceful march with no violence at all. 25-30 more protests across the state! Fun time connecting with other democracy lovers! #NoKingsAlbuquerque

Amazing that “No kings and no Nazis” is suddenly a controversial slogan and up for debate in 2025. These are the two most basic creeds of American history.

Trump's Truth Social account just posted this AI video of him flying a fighter jet that reads "King Trump."

AI Trump is wearing a crown while he dumps shit on protesters. He's such a pathetic little man.
