Nye: We are here to tell our lawmakers that what's going on in our government is
wrong. They must stop the abuses of this petulant president and his circle of sycophants. No thrones, no crowns, no king

If you're taking to the streets to protest today, know your rights.

"KNOW YOUR PROTEST RIGHTS
You don’t need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you don’t need a permit to march in the streets or along sidewalks, as long as you’re not obstructing traffic or access to buildings.
When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police.
If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries.
If you get stopped by the police, ask if you’re free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away.
If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don’t sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present.
If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement office at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you’ll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney — no matter your citizenship or immigration status."

And Millennials, we thrive in the cringe.

Quinta Jurecic @qjurecic.bsky.social · 11h

After 2024, pundits brushed off the Resistance as cringe. I submit: Yes, it was. And cringe is good. Cringe, in fact, will save democracy.

Resistance Is Cringe

But it’s also effective.

It is impossible to have a mass movement without cringe, because the masses are cringe. You have to not think you’re better than everyone else to be a part of a mass movement. Cool is inherently exclusionary, you can’t win mass politics with cool.

It’s No Kings Day! Head to a protest if you can, and if you can’t continue to amplify and spread the coverage so that it reaches every corner!! Every act of resistance and protest matters.

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.

Today’s No Kings protests could be the biggest in US history.

I’ll be speaking in front of tens of thousands here in Washington DC onstage alongside Senators Bernie Sanders and Chris Murphy, and Bill Nye and others.

Watch the livestream from 12pm ET:

Millions rise up at over 2,500 peaceful protests to say: No Kings

Today in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, I’ve forsaken the story beats to find all the fashion shops in an effort to make my character look as gay as he possibly can.

I cannot wait for every single Republican representative to get their retribution in kind. It will be a glorious day to see it all come crashing down on them.

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that.

No phones, no staff, nothing.

I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)

Bro, Mike Johnson. Y’all were just caught celebrating Hitler, gas chambers, rape, and racism. And your party was quick to DEFEND this. Go shove a cactus up your ass.

Mike Johnson on No Kings: "We refer to it by its more accurate description -- the Hate America Rally. You're gonna bring together the Marxists, the socialists, the antifa advocates, the anarchists, and the pro-Hamas wing of the far left Democrat Party. That is the modern Democratic Party."

“And have you serenaded with a story” wow @pkmncast.com such a great way to describe Hades II 🤩. Oh and the lack of voice acting in cutscenes in Pokémon Legends: Z-A. Everyone go listen to the Super Battle Club miniseries now, it’s so much fun! Go go go!!

I think it's because some actually love it, they want it to happen. Even if it harms them, they want it so they can watch the people they hate suffer more. These are some seriously sick motherfuckers.
