Criminals protect their own.

A tweet from Rep. Don Beyer reads: “George Santos pleaded guilty to identity theft and wire fraud, a small part of his lying and stealing that really hurt people. Trump says it plainly: crimes don’t count if you ‘vote Republican.’ Just like his pardons of those who violently attacked police. Naked corruption.” Below is a retweeted post from Juliegrace Brufke that says: “🚨 President Trump has commuted @MrSantosNY.”

Democracy dies in silence.

…when people are too afraid or don’t care enough to speak up.

Not today.

MILLIONS of Americans and allies of freedom and democracy, here and around the world, are taking to the streets.

Showing their love of country and defiance of tyranny.

It’s a beautiful sight.

I was at the the No Kings march in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Many elderly or disabled folks who couldn’t make it to Manhattan, but also young families and people of all ages. I stood in the same spot for more than an hour and the stream of protesters was constant. Amazing turnout.

As Californians take to the streets today to stand up against the President’s authoritarian playbook, I urge everyone to stay safe and demonstrate peacefully.

Don’t give in to his provocations. Our strength is in our unity and peace.

Kashing them in their lies.

A tweet from Liam Nissan says: “You sure about that?” It includes a photo of a lavish bathroom with marble counters and a chandelier, filled with stacks of boxes labeled as documents. Below, a tweet from “FBI Director Kash Patel” reads: “Anyone who threatens our national security will be held accountable,” alongside a screenshot of a news article about John Bolton being indicted for mishandling classified documents.

Civil rights and freedom. Pluralism and nonviolent protest.

The values Americans cherish are under assault by Donald Trump.

THIS IS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, and California will keep peacefully pushing back against the Trump Administration's authoritarian takeover.

There’s a right wing protest happening about 200 yards away. It’s a bit more sparsely attended.

Warren: The only movement these Republicans can manage is bowing down to Trump. When you ask them about today, they claim the No Kings Rally is anti-American. They’re wrong. Hundreds of thousands of people protesting peacefully for what they believe in—that is deeply American. That is patriotism.

I was told today would be full of violence from the left and that everyone “hated America.”

I saw peaceful patriots who love America and hate racist fascist rapist President Epstein.

A tweet from Kelly Morrison reads: “Then why are you blocking the House from voting to release the Epstein files?” It quotes a tweet from Aaron Rupar that says: “Mike Johnson: ‘When the simple truth is on your side, you have nothing to hide from.’” Below is a photo of Mike Johnson speaking at a podium with a large framed painting behind him.
