He’s scared to press charges on those he has deemed “terrorists”, so instead of court… he’s just sending them home.

Over 2.3 million confirmed so far and the rural wave is real. We were tracking ~3,000 events, but small towns across the country are pouring in with numbers we hadn’t included. A submission portal for city + attendance is coming soon. All counts will be double-certified before the final release.

THANK YOU

To the MILLIONS of citizens who marched today in record numbers

Showing MAGA Mike Johnson and his GOP flunkies who REALLY loves America

And making it clear to Donald Trump that the United States will NEVER succumb to a wannabe dictator

Our joy will defeat their hatred

Always

More people marched today than at any time in the history of the United States.

For @nytimes.com, it was the 6th most important story.

They are making sure that those in power do not see what they do not want to see.

This is not what we were brought up to think of as journalism.

South Koreans held their government accountable earlier this year. And now they’re protesting for American’s rights and democracy on No Kings too!

Thank you South Korea! #NoKings ❌👑

This. Has. To. Happen.

You are fighting a financial nightmare. This is economic warfare being played out against you. The only way to effectively shut it down is to fight back

No production. No spending.

Imagine if 7 million people went on strike instead?

That’s how you make change happen

The only way this works is people in the streets, 24/7/365 until the gov addresses your grievances

This scheduled once in a blue moon bullshit? Accomplished nothing but make us feel better today

I know I do

But the reality is still this: until Americans get serious about this, we’re fucked

This was Pensacola, FL today
There were people walking away from this event in tears because they were convinced this area was so immersed in MAGAt idiocracy that they were alone. Today they found out they were not, and now they are hopeful. It was awesome

This is democracy. You are not alone

This was in Pensacola, FL today. Gaetz’s old district. There were people protesting today that took time out from their vacations to join locals bc they missed it at home. That’s democracy in action

We’re setting the stage for some military operations against Venezuela

More illegal bullshit. You wonder why the SOUTHCOM CC resigned? Bc this administration is about to kick off an illegal war in the Western Hemisphere all so he doesn’t have to have elections for the mid terms

This is nuts
