I have been to two No Kings protests and they are filled with normies and people with funny signs and families and they are just the most wholesome protests imaginable

that's all people are going to see, man - their friends and neighbors out there saying we don't want this

Johnson: "We call it the Hate America Rally that will happen Saturday. Let's see who shows up for that. I bet you you'll see Hamas supporters, I bet you'll see antifa types, I bet you'll see Marxists on full display, people who don't want to stand and defend the foundational truths of this republic"

They’ve become so hateful and nasty. They don’t even try to hide it.

Berna @bernaboop.bsky.social · 4h

Agree. Each day their lies get crazier and each day I hope more on the Right see this. No Kings is a good opportunity. A giant peaceful turnout will show him what he’s up against for the future.

Maybe they’ll have signs on the bus. 😄

Yes, I will definitely see what’s available and what I’ll qualify for as far as a subsidy. I have some options. The Pennie email said I can renew on November 1 so I’ll decide then.

Looks like my premiums will triple. Maybe I’ll risk it and go without health insurance. ☹️🤔🤷🏽‍♀️

The tightening grip of authoritarianism?

Trump hands them a script.

Berna @bernaboop.bsky.social · 6h

And for this very reason, we need to keep it peaceful.

Berna @bernaboop.bsky.social · 6h

They send ICE into the streets to harass citizens and they have the grapes to call us violent? 🙄

Berna @bernaboop.bsky.social · 6h

I’ve been searching for ideas for protest signs to counter their accusations. What you said is good. Here’s another one:

Protest sign: “Peace, Love, & Democracy. No Kings”.

Thank you!

Berna @bernaboop.bsky.social · 7h

Yep. They’re painting us as violent when we’re anything but.

Wait, who is violent? I think you mean ICE.

Berna @bernaboop.bsky.social · 7h

Looking forward to this.

According to a state epidemiologist, "CDC personnel who normally share information with state officials during outbreaks have been eliminated."

“One veteran researcher who still has his job (and, like other public-health workers I spoke with for this story, requested anonymity for fear of losing it) told me he believes that Kennedy’s ultimate goal is to “silence the scientific voice of career CDC scientists.””
