Per CNN, the White House has just issued a two-word response to what may be the largest day of protest in US history—and those two words perfectly encapsulate why No Kings Day exists.

The response from would-be King Donald to outrage over his destruction of our traditions and norms is, "Who cares?"

Whoever came up with the idea of mocking this gratuitously cruel regime with cute, nonthreatening plastic frogs really hit a gold mine. The clever imagery has made it all the way across the Atlantic.

Trump flip-flops again after phone call with Putin 🤨

🤔Putin must have something on Trump to be so influential. Is it because he's building a resort there? Is it because of some dirty secret(s)? There's something there...

With a phone call, Putin appears to change Trump’s mind on Ukraine. Again.

It was the latest swing in President Donald Trump’s position on the war that often shifts following contact with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

I didn't get a picture of the best sign I saw today, but I remember what it said:

Somewhere in America
A little Hispanic girl
Is hiding in an attic
And keeping a diary.

I respect Rachel Maddow so when she refers something, it’s worth looking at. Today, she was focusing on on the strange relationship of Trump with the mideast and went back to the 2016 election with Hillary Clinton to pull out this.
At that time, I may have still been in denial. Here’s a money hint.

The theory that the Trump administration is colonizing Bluesky to stay directly on top of resistance organizing is -be far- the most likely one. If you are organizing, block them all and anyone in their fan club.

I joined the "human banner" at San Francisco's Ocean Beach. This flag was at the center. It was a gorgeous day with enormous waves. #nokings

The image is taken from an angle, and you can see the ocean tilting 30 degrees in the distance, with a huge crowd in front of it. In the foreground, you can see the giant American flag that is being held up by hundreds of protesters clustered around its edges.

This is the human banner from the air. It's sign made from masses of people standing together to form letters. It reads "No Kings Yes on 50." There is an American flag in the middle and a thick border around the banner. (Prop 50 is a California state proposition to gerrymander the state to create more blue districts, in order to combat the Texas law that gerrymanders their state to create more red districts.)

Hero’s of the day - In a small town of Beckley, WV, Kendra Sullivan staged a one-woman No Kings protest. She was confronted, had the police called on her, but stood her ground. She was physically threatened. Police came more than once and protected her right to protest. This is how we do it.

years ago, working at a store, my manager told me to kill a bird that had been caught in a glue trap, the super strong kind for rats, says "just stomp it or whatever." so i quit. these guys aren't uncomfortable with the bird stomping, they just don't like how people keep yelling Bird Stomper at them
