Today's #NoKings rally in #RanchoBernardo (suburb of #SanDiego) -- biggest event I've been to yet at this location

As expected, the quilted protest sign was a hit with quilters (and a smidge confusing for non-quilters)

@joelvanderwerf @cafechatnoir Exactly! When protests are truly local, they reflect real, rooted community outrage—not some “outside agitator” fantasy.
Also… if someone did bus 4000 people into Coupeville, I’d want to meet their logistics team. That’s a miracle in itself.

KENMORE

turned out. I've literally never seen Kenmore have its own one of these. Kenmore _does_ show up for politics - but at meetings and stuff, not on streets. Kenmore people who want to go to streets join up with Lake Forest Park (if they're on the west side of the lake) or Bothell (if they're on the east), largely because there's no really good place to be seen in Kenmore.

(Kenmore has big gathering places but they're not near the highway. Nobody sees you.)

But this time Kenmore said "fukkit this time we're doing our own too" and they did _pretty well_.

Millions march across America to demand #NoKings. Meanwhile, a one person deep line assembles to watch Trump's birthday parade in Washington DC. Ben & Jerry’s Free Cone Day generates more enthusiasm than this pathetic show.

Brought a stack of about 40 proofs & off-prints from our “No Kings!” run to CU’s protest & they were gone in about 5 minutes. It was energizing to be in such a crowd for our little college town. #NoKings

The scale of the rally in Portland is MASSIVE. Simultaneously crossing the Morrison and Hawthorne Bridges in one long parade of democracy. Tens of thousands of people. #NoKings

I managed to go to one of the smaller (turned out to be not that small) #NoKings protests in a small town in Texas. I wasn't sure if I would be brave enough to go, so I didn't make a sign, but I did carry a US flag. And so did a LOT of other people.

It wasn't nearly as scary as I thought it would be. I was still a bit nervous. (I REALLY don't like crowds.) But I found a spot near the end that wasn't too crowded. It was actually fun. I'm so glad I went.

Imagine misappropriating $50mm of taxpayer money, meant for the defense of the nation, so you could have a parade with “twucks and tanks and army men” for your birthday and STILL no one showed up… just like when you were a little boy.

L. O. Fucking. L!

Limp dicked motherfucker.

For the last few months I was really really worried about the rapid decline of the US right before our eyes

A lot of officials remained silent, companies kissed the ring etc

The recent rise up against Musk was a great start but I think today was a day that really gave hope!

So many people showed up across the US, that really shows we're not alone in this and that we're all sick and tired of it

Keep it peaceful, keep protesting and keep resisting!

You are truly wonderful!❤️

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.

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.

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.
