can we really continue to function as a country with a madman like this at the helm? Every day there is some outburst like this with new "policy" or whatever, so that no one can do any long term planning.
This is NOT pro-business, or good for us in any way.

Even if you can't attend an event, find those things you CAN do.
Share posts like this, change your image like I did, drive by and honk on Saturday,... every little bit helps.
This has got to be big enough to actually move the needle, or we may not have many more chances!

While Trump has tanks rolling through DC for his authoritarian parade on Saturday, we’re taking to the streets everywhere else for No Kings Day. With nearly 2,000 events planned nationwide, this will be the single largest protest of this Trump administration. Join us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

@kcrg.com
Are you planning any coverage of this upcoming event?
Should be the biggest demonstration yet.
YOU can help make it even bigger by covering it up front.

He did it once & there was no real pushback, so he'll just keep on doing it. I can't believe even the other countries aren't really speaking up. Bullies will always keep asking for more until someone actually stoops them.

Someone stop him!
I'll be out Saturday doing my tiny part.

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

Let’s make a deal with the most corrupt president in U.S. history— Donald Trump.

🔥 HOT MIC: Indonesia’s president straight up asks if he can meet with Eric and Don Jr. You can’t make this up.

Like Trump, it's all about appearances.
Bullies have to act tough, talk tough, & hope no one truly calls their bluff.

The ‘Peace President’ killed six more people off the coast of Venezuela this morning. We have no evidence other than his word that they were a threat to anyone, anywhere and also release the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention in this matter!

And when you blame everything on unseen forces like demons, gods & angels, you take no personal responsibility.

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

JEFFRIES: No

JEFFRIES: Donald Trump has not given him permission to meet, Katy and we know that until Donald Trump gives them permission to meet, they're going to continue to hide.

Why does someone need to fund it?
I just drive downtown & join in with 1000's of other like minded people who are tired of Trump's illegal bullshit.
Social media spreads the word, it's not that hard when people are actually pissed off!

I'll be at my local rally.
Will you?

If there was ever a time to push back, to make a showing of just how many of us are sick & tired of this total shit show, this is it!

Make them take notice like they haven't on the previous rallies. Make this time too big to brush off!
