Shout out to all the small town protesters out there.

There is no anonymity in a tiny town. No strength in numbers or hiding in a crowd. When you stand up for democracy in a small town, EVERYONE knows. Y'all are brave as hell. #NoKings

You are not a king. And we will NEVER submit to kings or dictators in America.

Donald Trump promised to unite the people of this nation, and then did exactly the opposite.

But, in fairness, today, he united a record number of Americans to attend our historic "No Kings" rallies.

It is a scandal totally unprecedented in history that the Vice President has shared a video depicting the President as king. It’s an obscene violation of every founding American principle.

And nothing will come of it. It makes me physically sick.

Really think the biggest win today aside from just numbers is negatively polarizing the regime of 12-year-olds into fully adopting #YESKINGS as their official stance.

The GOP called protestors "terrorists" and "Marxists" and that didn't stop retired moderates in small towns from coming out today dressed in frog costumes because they're tired of this obvious bullshit.

Two million more than in June. Seven million total.

The GOP should be very worried.
