You can tell No Kings is effective because MAGA world has spent days mocking and fearmongering about it. If it wasn't effective, they wouldn't need to mention it at all.

A No Kings reminder that Tylenol doesn’t cause autism.

That Trump and RFK Jr are “making the proof” that it does.

That their villainizing of autistics is a prime example of their eugenics agenda.

That the “big autism announcement” was yet another big ol distraction.

A protester holds a sign designed to look like a Tylenol ad. It has a photo of Epstein and Trump and says Extra 'Tism
TYLENOL
FOR ADULTS
ASEDA...ASCENEM...
ASCENEM-MINOPHEN(?)
RAPID RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES
Fever Reducer
Truth Revealer
Autism Scapegoat

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.

archiveofourown.org/works/684350... We lost two good friends this week - one of them 4-legged. Rather unfair timing if you ask me. I *almost* had him house-broken.

But the writing went well...so, as Eskel reminds Geralt, look for the rainbow, don't fixate on the storm clouds. Eskel's smart. Enjoy!

It costs ~$70 to produce a year’s supply of insulin.

Yet, the average annual cost of insulin went from $2,864 in 2012 to $5,705 in 2016 to $18,000 in 2025. A 25,714% markup. That isn’t inflation or supply chain—It’s corporate greed.

Now—California will sell insulin for $11. Make this nationwide!

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

We don’t care if it makes you uncomfortable.
We’re angry — and we’re done apologising for it.

Female rage isn’t a weakness. It’s a force: raw, righteous, and long overdue.

Be loud. Be brave.

Congratulations!!! Hope someday, when you're in the mood, you'll revisit the story you helped so much with in its infancy. It's grown up pretty nicely, I think. And I DO include you in the 'Beta Buds' club!

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson:

"Private establishments can partner with us to make it clear that private property is private property and ICE cannot enter establishments without a valid warrant ... If Congress will not check this administration, then Chicago will."

I didn't know about this Signal For Help hand gesture until today. I'm quite sure that a lot of other people don't know it either (as demonstrated in this video). If you just learned it now too then it was worth posting.

Keep sharing - I've seen similar posts for years, but I don't know that either the victims, or potential rescuers, have memorized it.
