The regime tried to scare people and failed. That's good.

Ah there's one of my "Trump is a Pedo" signs. I haven't been to Broadview, but someone must have got that sign from me when I was distributing them in Chicago weeks ago.

You know the mass protests work because Team Trump has been freaking out about them

Edited screenshot of Hollow Knight Silksong, showing Forebrothers Signis and Gron, with the Dril tweet "( me after seeing two guys in any context whatsoever) Well well well if it isn't the Blowjob Brothers" on the top of the image.

I hear from informed sources that these #NoKings rallies are more than twice as big as last time, making them easily the largest protests in US history. Thanks to everyone and especially organizers.

Sorry to be corny but the aerial shots of these crowds are almost indescribably moving and hopeful

Objective, demonstrable, irrefutable fact: the fash are hopelessly, hilariously outnumbered. All it takes is standing up en masse, and you won't even *have* to fight, the fash will back the fuck down.

Head to a protest today. I can almost promise you will feel less hopeless. That's exactly what they don't want. There are more of us than there are of them.

Elites collapsed and capitulated. Regular people never did. #NoKings

Remember back in January when all these sage politics-knowers were writing about how there had been a vibe shift and now the resistance was over?

lol. lmao.

The No Kings March in Chicago is one of the largest gatherings I’ve seen here. Looking down from by the river, the crowd stretches for blocks down Michigan Ave and wraps around Wacker Dr. This video is from a few minutes ago and the end of the protest is nowhere in sight.

Pritzker's here. Right in the middle of the crowd carrying the lead banner. Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton too.

Event staff getting pissed at media who won't clear out from the march route as everyone gets their obligatory Pritzker shots.
