On Saturday, countless people gathered at “No Kings” protests in thousands of cities and towns across the United States and the world.

Their focus?: President Donald Trump and his administration’s increasing turn towards authoritarianism.

The White House on Friday joined Bluesky.

In its inaugural post, the account offered a sizzle reel of the administration’s memes, trolls and messages, seemingly aimed at tweaking liberals who aren’t fans of the Republican president.
