TRUMP & THE FASCISTS NEVER HAD A MAJORITY

and are scared of the consequences of a Sleepy Town USA with 1,000 having 300 of them on the streets protesting him by name and calling him a fascist.

that’s 30% of a Sleepy Town USA the #GOP cannot use anymore to manufacture electoral votes. that’s a Sleepy Town USA the fascists can’t use to have #ACAB #ICE #USMIL kill in their names.

American fascists have never been a #SilentMajority & #NoKings proves that.

#NoKings #Harleysville is a soft wrap. Hundreds of folks lined up along Main Street (PA Route 63) in Lower Salford Township, Pa. to #protest with signs and bells starting at 3:30. For reference the township has a population of about 15,000.

Enthusiastic support from local traffic in our red district with honking horns and friendly waves. Only a few scattered folks driving by with one thumb down or one finger up. The passing Cybertruck driver did not look proud.

Lots of friendly faces I’ve seen around and many I met for the first time. Inspired some real #hope in me today that’s been lacking recently.

Two individuals are holding colorful protest signs. One sign states "NO KINGS" with a quote from George Washington. The other sign reads, "This is the only Monarch I'll Support," accompanied by a drawing of a butterfly.
A group of protesters stands along a grassy area next to a road, holding various signs. Some signs display messages such as "NOT PAID" and "HAPPY BIRTHDAY ASSHOLE." The crowd includes a diverse mix of individuals.
A large group of people is participating in a protest along a grassy area beside a road. They are holding various signs with messages related to their cause. The sky is overcast, and there are power lines overhead.

Lubbock, TX showed out like never before—hundreds stood tall in deep red territory, backed by a chorus of honks and waves from passing cars. The biggest protest this county’s seen. Across the street, a handful of counter-protesters watched freedom rise.#NoKings @maddow.msnbc.com

I almost forgot - I wanted to confirm that yes, the danger dog vendors - and aguas frescas vendors and fruit/snacks vendors - were out there today.

Things are largely quieted down now, just normal levels of people around the Grand Central Market area for a pleasant Saturday afternoon. Some honking and cheering going on here and there, but the masses of people have dispersed. #NoKings

The intersection of Hill and Fourth in downtown Los Angeles during the No Kings march - food vendors are set up in the street selling bacon wrapped hot dogs, aguas frescas, fruit, and other snacks.

Couple of crowd shots in Bothell, it's hard to get a good photo of crowd size there - none of these are remotely complete

#bothell #northshore #cascadia #seattle #CascadiaStrong #casPol #usPol #usPolitics #politics #NoKings #protest #protests

a shot of Bothell Way (the main highway running just south of downtown) showing masses of crowds on both sides of the highway. the crowd is particularly visible on the south side, where there is a large park.
another photo of crowds in Bothell, also incomplete, showing large crowds on both sides of Woodinville Drive. Like the last photo, this one is not in any way complete. the crowds ran from past the east bridge over SR522 to west on Bothell Way around Brooks Automobile, and also up over a block into downtown along Bothell-Everett Highway.

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)

#Protest Pics 🧵

@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_.

Two contemporaneous headlines at CNN: "Millions of pounds of military hardware will roll down the US capital's streets", and "Millions of Americans are attending 'No Kings' protests across the country".

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.

#NoKings #Texas #USA #Protest

People walk down a sidewalk lined with protesters. A number of the protesters are carrying or waving US flags.
Looking one direction down the street. A number of protesters line the street on both sides and in the median. One sign reads, "I hope your birthday party sucks, DJT." Another reads, "Red Coats or Red Hats, GTFO. #NoKings"
Looking the other direction down the street. A line of protesters with waving US flags and posters, and a cute dog. One sign reads, "Keep Texas neat. No ICE." Another reads, "Stars and Stripes and Human Rights."

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!❤️
