Putting aside everything else that's wrong with streaming platforms, why is there still no "Report" option in Tidal or Spotify? A quite regular occurence is artist pages and New Releases playlists including tracks from impersonators with the same name. Absolutely no way to fight it.

Seeing a lot of #NoKings posts and pictures. In my area (Reno, NV), only one of three network affiliates even put photos of the local event on its website, which seems about right. 🙄

Very good turnout at my local #NoKings Protest today. We had 260 participants at the #HandsOff Protest in April. For this event, we had almost 1200!

I am SO impressed by how today's #NoKings demonstration in #MadisonWI was organized. There was puppetry, fun things for kids of all ages, and brief big-tent speeches about the importance of standing up to authoritarianism.
I heard someone on west bound #BRT A bus saying this is like a west side reunion on this bus. It feels like half of my neighbors are on this bus. 🥰

One arrested at peaceful “#NoKings” protest in #NashvilleTN
by Cassandra Stephenson
Sat, June 14, 2025 at 1:53 PM EDT"Metro Nashville Police officers arrested a masked counter protester carrying what appeared to be a handgun and a '#DontTreadOnMe' flag at the 'No Kings' protest at Bicentennial Park during Saturday’s 'No Kings' protest in Nashville.
"No shots were fired.
"Kase Cosgrove, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and safety volunteer attending the protest, said he approached the man after other protesters told him the man was armed and spitting and shoving people while walking through the crowd.
"Cosgrove said he walked toward the man and saw him tapping on what appeared to be a handgun and pulling it out of its holster to show people he was armed. Cosgrove approached him and attempted to talk to him but three police officers quickly arrived, retrieved the weapon and put the man in handcuffs.
"Cosgrove said the protest — part of a nationwide protest against the Trump administration — has been peaceful and fittingly musical, being in Music City.
"Thousands of people attended the protest, lining the sidewalks along Jefferson Street and Rosa Parks Blvd. and walking through Bicentennial Park after a brief gathering at the park’s amphitheater. Cheers, musical instruments and car horns echoed up and down the street.
"Protesters ranged in age from young adults to the elderly, and many people brought children and dogs.
" 'Everybody else is being chill,' said Cosgrove. ' . . . He was trying to cause problems.'
"Protesters yelled at the man as police put him into an MNPD golf cart. Cosgrove was among them, shouting, 'You got tread on!' "

'Houston at its best': Mayor John Whitmire praises protesters and police for peaceful No Kings event
"I just think we witnessed Houston at its best – I'll use the word ‘spectacular,'" Whitmire said in a mid-afternoon phone call. ‘For over 15,000 people to come together in a peaceful protest and march, that just makes a statement about Houston."

Shout out to all the #NoKings protesters today in small towns and cities.
Sometimes it feels like there’s not much that can be done from the periphery. But flexing these muscles is vital to the movement.
Power to the small massive!

@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.

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.
