Today was energizing. It was upbeat and positive. It was fun. This whole administration has been so demoralizing, I feel this was exactly what we needed to reenergize the people who want to stop authoritarian creep.

One thing today's protest reminded me was that community is important. We are not alone.

While the protest was cut short due to the rain, we made sure Gov Kehoe heard the message.

They'll cast these rallies as "angry" but everyone there is plainly having a great time because it's fun to get together with like-minded people to engage in the oldest American tradition: telling a tyrant to eat shit

No matter where you live or if you’ve never protested before, there’s a local No Kings Day event for you. Join a peaceful protest to make it clear that We The People will never bow down to a wannabe king: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

I urge our nation to use this weekend's No Kings marches as a declaration of independence against the tyranny and lawlessness currently running this country.

Use your voice. ACT PEACEFULLY. Protect yourself and your community.

THERE ARE NO KINGS IN THE UNITED STATES.

Next Saturday's anti-Trump 'No Kings' protest is expected to be the largest single demonstration in U.S. history.

The vindictive prosecutions of political enemies are not a distraction from the Epstein files - they’re one and the same: wielding the power of the DoJ to persecute your foes AND to protect your friends.

I’ve lived in GOP-dominated states my entire life, and I can tell you one thing about Republican lawmakers: they don’t care about us.

I pay my taxes and schools are four days a week.

I pay my taxes and my road is gravel.

I pay my taxes and they close my hospital.

I pay my taxes and then pay for college tuition.

With the Tylenol bullshit I’m reminded that women have always been the scapegoat.

Remember, they didn’t burn witches. They burned women. And I have no doubt that some would like to bring that practice back.

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

Saw someone post about how it's really fucked up that we all have to speculate about whether or not the FBI manufactured evidence to back their version of events. The thing is, you should always suspect that about law enforcement—these guys are just more clown-ish and obvious about it.
