Goal for #NoKings in Germany.

Almost all mainstream news report from the protests, and leave Trumps parade as a side note only.

👍

Outside the US Embassy in London today - the "No Tyrants" (rather than #NoKings) protest. About 500 gathered to say no to Trump and his policies. Clowns because (would-be) authoritarians hate to be mocked. (Strategic humor has brought down regimes...)

PS:

this is the perfect poster for the #NoKings follow-up:

❝ BILLIONAIRES ARE THE ONLY DANGEROUS MINORITY ❞

back in the day, even with birthright succession, if the nobility decided you shouldn’t accede, then you didn’t become king (or queen).

that’s the system of government american b̶i̶l̶l̶i̶o̶n̶a̶i̶r̶e̶s̶¹ want: one in which b̶i̶l̶l̶i̶o̶n̶a̶i̶r̶e̶s̶ (not even millionaires) act as a nobility & decide who you accept as your ruler with pantomime elections.

The #NoKings crowd in Fort Worth was probably twice as big as the Hand's Off protest from April. I'd say several thousand. I have no good shots of the crowd in the park or all the honking cars. But it was a festive and peaceful event.

@kevinevans At the Lake Merritt BART station in #Oakland there was an employee controlling access to the *escalator*, saying it was getting to its weight limit with all the people for the march! #nokings

I've been seeing photos and videos of crowds at the No Kings events around the country today. I'm just overwhelmed with a sense of "wow, that's a lot of people". It lifts my spirits.

Thank you, America.

Protest Thread #25-26 (I went to two events!)

Hearing the terrible news from Minnesota has only made me angrier. Like HELL was I going to do what that cowardly murderer wants and stay in, so I went down as planned to the huge protest downtown. I am very sorry for those left bereaved by this senseless violence, and I figure the one thing I can do to help is still march. The more of us turn out, the faster we can put a stop to these horrific tragedies.

Wow, #Missouri! #NoKingsAs I type this, Trump's voice-over god-mic is thanking Coinbase for sponsoring his little ego parade. Our sponsor is... us. And our crowds are ENORMOUS, unlike his.

A man who looked to be in his 40s was at our protest. He said he was out today because if his grandkids (who don’t yet exist) asked him where he was on this day, he could say he was at the #nokings #protests

I completely get that sentiment.

Something about to go down in L.A. Big mobilization of LAPD, including armed mounted units and rolling in of the LRAD (Jessica Palmadessa is streaming from near both). Also hear a police copter but with a crowd this size, it's been around generally anyway.

They are prepared for a battle, so they will probably eventually find one, with the size of the crowd today.

Are we now going to be told it's "too soon" to bring politics into discussion of, um, a political assassination?

If someone says they're trying to raise money to sue for a recount of an election that was certified in 2024 for an office that's already been been filled (like, say, President), that's a clue that something's not right. This is simply not a thing.

An important difference between this and the 2020 fraud claims is that here, you don't see the supposedly "defrauded" candidate amplifying the BS. Harris wants no part of this.

Also, you don't get a discount on an overpriced pillow for donating.

A couple of things about these claims circulating that the 2024 election was "rigged":

1. The supposed "proof" is essentially the same nonsensical statistical gobbledygook that the MAGA people were claiming about 2020, with the parties reversed.

2. There is no legal mechanism to "recount" an election after the results are certified. None. The ship has sailed.

3. SHOCKINGLY, they need funds to continue their "work"

4. Nope, not linking to it. Not giving them oxygen.
