Family member went to a #NoKings event near her home town in California. They estimated 1,000 but got over 3,000+, which is marvellous.

@cafechatnoir 100% this. Decentralized protest spots mean more people can show up safely—especially those of us juggling work, caregiving, or just… a working GPS. Local action matters.

Walking back with my family, we saw an old man fall down and a group of tattooed, masked, black clad young people rush to help him, while one ran to grab him water from one of the many people out with coolers giving away free water. A day of decent Americans protesting ruling indecency. #NoKings

My favorite signs at the #NYC #NoKings protests: 1. A big picture of Elmo that just said "Elmo says No Kings," 2. "Rebellions are built on hope," from Andor, and 3. "I like My US neat - no ICE." Also pretty great were the random chants of "Don't rank Cuomo" for the upcoming mayoral primary.

@stux Our protest was huge, and sooooo anti-Trump. I couldn’t even count the number of signs with some iteration of “F- Trump.” Here’s my 79 year old mom giving fat baby Trump the finger. 🤣

My home turf is deeeeep red. It voted 80% Republican and is in MTG's district. I actually shed some tears of surprise and relief when I pulled up to our local #NoKings protest at the biggest intersection in town and saw all the people there. There were 6 counter protestors, but they stayed in their lane. Lots more honks of support from passersby than I'd expected, too. It felt SO good to be among like-minded people.

Favorite signs were "JD Vance Ate My Dog" and "Keep Your Mits Off My Bits."

Approximately 250 people protested today in the middle of Alamogordo, New Mexico. That may be the largest protest in our history.

Here's a photo of downtown Alamogordo - White Sands Blvd and 10th Street.

There is a history to 10th Street. Generations ago, the unwritten rule was that non-whites could only live south of 10th St. That's what created the neighborhood of Chihuahuita.

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.

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
