Left Twitter (13k followers) because noise isn’t truth. Watching Trumpism rot minds while kids inherit the mess. The youth must open their eyes, our kids deserve better than chaos and ego. No Dms

Now I’m here with people who still believe empathy is strength.
And yes, my family is proud of that choice and so am I.
Follow me here.
Let’s keep fighting not with hate
but with vision, conviction, and heart.

How long before the administration tries to block the import of such weapons of anarchy?

Mike Johnson and his echo chamber of Republican leadership were busy peddling lies. They called this rally “anti-American.”
Funny—because I’ve never seen a more patriotic crowd than the one belting out God bless America in the face of authoritarian gaslighting.

A Reminder!!!

Ann Telnaes @anntelnaes.bsky.social · 4d

A reminder that Trump and his supporters violently attacked the seat of our democracy in 2021. Same people who are trying to frame "No Kings" protesters as the hate America crowd.

Great time at the Northglenn, CO No Kings rally! First time in 58 years that felt the need to protest against the US government.

This is the kind of stuff that keeps me from going insane and reminds me to not get sucked into rage bait. The shithead’s doing a lot of bad stuff, and yes the money could be used elsewhere, but he’s not “destroying the White House” (at least not physically)

A satellite image of the White House grounds, showing a small portion of the east wing which was demolished on Monday to make room for a new ballroom. As opposed to pictures going around making people think the actual residence was being razed.

The authoritarian playbook leaves me with Questions:

1. Is this an “illegal protest?”
2. Am I an “agitator?”
3. What Country did I come from?
4. Is this sign a crime?

Come get me, ASSHOLE!

Dear Americans. It's time for Direct Democracy. When politicians fail, We The People should personally rise to the defense of the Constitution, democracy, and the rule of law. It's Popular Sovereignty—the natural right of the People. NO KINGS! Listen to Robert De Niro. 👇

Theocracy has never produced a benevolent government and a thriving country, because appeals to divine authority by the people in power are always for the purpose of gaining more power, never to express the benevolent aspects of the religion.

Chip Roy: "The truth is the marxist, radicals, and Islamists the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a king and that king is Jesus. And the president has been willing to say it, & Charlie Kirk was willing to say it & he got killed for it."

That’s a fantastic image — an “inflatable chicken suit” is already a statement, and adding crowd metrics to it makes it sound like you were part of a protest or rally with a humorous twist.

He’s repeatedly labeled parts of the press “the enemy of the people,” a phrase with authoritarian baggage that watchdogs and historians warn can chill a free press.

In yet another indication of the turnout for the No Kings rallies, more than 400 of Elon Musk’s children attended the protests, according to estimates released on Sunday.

Donald J. Trump claimed that the estimates of 7 million is much lower when you subtract people who were there who hate Elon.”

Over 400 of Elon Musk’s Children Attended No Kings Rallies

“You take away Elon’s kids and almost no one was there," Trump claimed.
