the crowd sizes are obviously the highlight here but the fact that *this* is the public statement of the NYPD does not bode well for the regime. or, put another way:

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

ZERO arrests at No Kings in NYC. (And the NYPD isn’t notorious for being sympathetic with people anti-Trump.)

This proves what shameless liars Speaker Mike Johnson & Karoline Leavitt are to slander the participants as violent anarchists.

Our crowd in River Falls wasn't nearly as large as yours...but I'd argue it was cuter...

#NoKings donkey has had enough of this ass

I'm sure many of you have heard by now that earlier this week, IU k*lled the print edition of its student paper, the IDS. The issue that was supposed to print this week contained criticism of the Whitten regime and Is further slide into scist control, and they couldn't allow that to happen during Homecoming, when all the rich alumni are in town.
Enter Purdue! The Purdue student paper, The Exponent, owns its own presses. Yesterday, in an act of tremendous solidarity with their biggest rival school, they printed the forbidden issue of the IDS. They then drove it to Bloomington overnight and stocked all of the IDS boxes on campus, just in time for Homecoming.
Solidarity is what makes us stronger, and solidarity will be what ultimately allows us to triumph, if we can ever truly get it together. I hope everyone has a fun, safe day if they're going out today, and I hope we can think about what acts of solidarity we can begin taking to really make this movement MOVE - beyond a permitted expression of upset into more active resistance.

#NoKings but make it adorable.

A donkey at a No Kings rally in River Falls, Wisconsin. He's wearing a No Kings in America flag and wondering why the hell I didn't pack any carrots.

He is there, he's got it, and the ballgame is over, and the Los Angeles Dodgers have bought the National League pennant.

My niece is at Iowa, and heckling her these past few years has been one of my favorite pastimes. Unforgivable that Fickell robbed me of that.

She was merciless. Ooof.

I am a little extra salty this fall... 😉

No one chose Seabiscuit either? Where did you find these hacks? 😊

Shameful that no one selected 42...

Sarah O'Neill @girlvgrizzly.bsky.social · 1d

That's the one! 😊

They've failed this community—and that's unforgivable, given their local connection.

Sarah O'Neill @girlvgrizzly.bsky.social · 5d

I was hoping they wouldn't face each other, so I could thoroughly enjoy their success. As it is... sigh

I hated that matchup. The joy, the pain. Sigh.
