No Kings! Ribbit, ribbit!

🌻Liza @lizayes.bsky.social · 53m

I was astonished to learn that fifteen No Kings rallies are slated all over my small, rural, red state of Arkansas.

People everywhere are fed up! I'm glad folks in Florida, home of Aligator Alcatraz and many retired people, are also jumping on the bandwagon.

Thank you!
It helps to know others around the world support us as we fend off the Trump regime and his oligarchs.

The U.S. is fast becoming a horror show. On every level, it's worse than ever in my (long) lifetime.

Stay unruffled. There will be agent provocateurs trying to get things violent. Don’t take the bait.

That's what they said when I marched during the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. But march we did and will do so again.

OMG - Feel better fast!

Rallies against Kings have just begun. You will have other opportunities to be part of history during this dangerous era.

Lots of us are concerned, but we will not be deterred. #NoKings

I hope they don’t allow Trump’s forces to instigate them and give them an excuse to call it a violent altercation.

"United we ribbit. Divided we croak!" says the Froggie and his costumed friends. #NoKings will dance all night. Epic!

Trumpists wanted a war in Portland, they sent Noem, Portland sent the Antifa Frogman of Portland. This song laughs at the Trump invasion of the city whose motto is, “Keep Portland Weird!”

Yes. Honest moral ethical majority of US population want to continue to live in a democracy that abides by the Rule of Law & US CONSTITUTION. We are many more than those few who transacted & used less than righteous methods to get into power. We will prevail when we show our strength in numbers ✊✊✊

Everyone keep you phones recording and stream live as when their antagonists start instigating, it will be covered from too many angles to deny or obfuscate. Their rhetoric is fear and ignorance, they’re revealing their desperation in the face of peaceful protest in opposition

Elections aren’t every 4 years or every 2 years, they’re every year. In California we have a special election for prop 50 and it’s a YES. If Texas can gerrymander then we should be able to. I know my comments will be filled with bots, but I won’t be intimidated. Our democracy is vanishing❤️

Oh Jonesboro! I have a couple of nephews there who might well be out protesting in Jonesboro. Their hearts are in the right place.

That's okay. You will get your chance to help. It's going to take a lot of work to overturn maga's grip on U.S. government. It's a marathon, not a sprint.

If you drive by a protest on your way to work on Saturday, honk your car horn! That will make us happy and lift our spirits.
