NEW — Bill Nye, at "No Kings" in DC, on Gaza:
"There's something wrong when you have one country ruining, leveling another country…the whole thing just makes you furious."

"In the US, we had an agreement…we're going to leave religion out of our government. There's some value there, I think…"

I'm a bit confused by all the snarky comments about older, white protesters as if they somehow aren't legitimate. They actually represent a very big chunk of the population and are usually considered to be more conservative than everyone else. Isn't a good thing that they're protesting fascism?

My sister sends pictures from the No Kings event in Chicago today. The deranged Republican party wants America to think that these are the enemy of the people. I would suggest Republicans look in the mirror if they really want to see the enemy of the people. #NoKings

A bunch of characters dressed up in costumes for the no Kings event in Chicago. One of the signs says no Kings, no Nazis

Protesters formed a human banner Saturday morning at S.F.'s Ocean Beach, spelling out “NO KINGS” and “YES ON 50,” encouraging the passage of a measure on the November ballot to redraw California’s congressional districts in response to Texas’ GOP-focused remapping.

I'm sure the president, famously known for his obsession with crowd sizes, will be fuming about the turnout of this year's #NoKings.

Here's what "No Kings" Looked Like Across the World

It certainly wasn't a "Hate America Rally."

Zero arrests by NYPD is actually astounding to me

Screenshot of tweet from NYPD reading as follows:

The majority of the No Kings protests have dispersed at this time and all traffic closures have been lifted.

We had more than 100,000 people across all five boroughs peacefully exercising their first amendment rights and the NYPD made zero protest-related arrests.

America needs a Truth Commission after this debacle of a regime is done. We also need to look at the lies fueling this far rightward lurch of half of the country now believing right wing lies over science and facts.

“If you come to any of our protests, it’s a bunch of old grandmas and grandpas and dogs.”

They’re teachers, nurses, Mennonites, and Marines. The Trump administration calls them antifa.

The No King protests represent a broad popular front. That's exactly why the president's allies are demonizing the organizers.
