Thank you to the millions of marchers/rally-goers resisting a dictatorship today at #NoKings.

The media tries to divide us. The media tries to elevate MAGA and silence those who stand against authoritarianism. Just look at how many there are of us! Act accordingly.

Thank you! Every single person is a part of the momentum. Hello from Missouri.

There are many who fear retaliation from neighbors, family, and “friends”. Those of us who live in red states have to balance our urge to flip off strangers or drag them because of their MAGA cap with getting shot. #TrueConcern

Exactly. Thank you for giving credit to those of us fighting in red states. We sometimes get lumped in with MAGA, but there are so many progressives here as well.

The teeny tiny No Kings things in very red areas are so huge

Say like five or six people show up. None of them knew each other before. Suddenly they’re all friends. And maybe from that you get a group that does longer-term organizing that can punch *way* above its weight considering where it is

I got tears in my eyes marching & chanting with all of my like-minded friends today in Missouri. It’s so gratifying to know that we’re not alone. Millions are speaking up against authoritarianism. Thank you for paying attention to our plight even though you live abroad. We need friends!

This is really what America looks like!
Multitudes of multicultural, multiethnic, multi-aged groups from all walks of life across the US in villages, towns, suburbs, & cities, all turning out for democracy.
The most pro-America thing people can do next to voting.
We get the government we show up for

Really amazing day seeing all these enormous No Kings protests. It really does reaffirm that the only ones who can save us are all of us. 🧡

Keep counting! The West Coast numbers haven’t come in yet. Could everyone line up?

IMO the ratio of No Kings versus MAGA in Temecula today was 99:1.

Organizers have reported 7 million attendees at the No Kings events and we’re happy to confirm 7 million and counting! More events are still happening across the country today, so we’ll need additional time to fully certify the final numbers.

The word on the street is that George Soros sprained his wrist from writing all those checks so far. West coast rally-goers will be paid via Venmo. Aunt Tifa will update everyone soon.
