Today is a good day to write/call your representatives if you are a blue dot (or dissatisfied republican) who showed up at a protest yesterday. Demand they do their jobs and negotiate to extend ACA subsidies and open the government. Don’t let them keep ignoring us and don’t let the momentum die.

Trump posted an AI video of himself literally shitting on Americans…

There’s nothing too on the nose for this regime.

For the record, this was just the segment between two lights, so maybe 1/4 of the length of the total crowd, and was after the organizers called it early due to lightning (understandable) and approximately half the crowd left. We drove around the loop, then joined back in!

My formerly republican husband and in-laws came too! (To be fair, they all stopped voting republican in 2016)

That was what motivated my mother in law and father in law to attend their first protest today, also. Thank you for showing up!

Per CNN, the White House has just issued a two-word response to what may be the largest day of protest in US history—and those two words perfectly encapsulate why No Kings Day exists.

The response from would-be King Donald to outrage over his destruction of our traditions and norms is, "Who cares?"

A big shout out to the people in the small towns today. It’s easy to protest when you’re surrounded by thousands, but while your numbers were small, your voice was that much louder!!

Rogers was hit by a large tornado just over a year ago, so some of us are still pretty triggered by storms! It didn’t end up being too bad today, though. 😊

Facts don’t care about the GOP’s feelings — there’s nothing more American than rejecting a mad king. Please join us tomorrow: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings
