End of the day, it’s still one of the symbols of our nation getting hacked to bits for a vanity project. It’s normal to feel. Way about that.

“We all need to join each other under the big tent against fascism.”

Cool can my trans friends come?

“Unfortunately there are people already under the tent who will leave if they come, so no”

Doesn’t seem like a very big tent then

“Why are you insisting on purity tests?”

To those saying No Kings 10/18 was a “party,” not a protest, the mayor of the third-largest city in the country used the protest to call for a general strike.

That does not happen without a multi-million person “party” supporting him.

Solidarity. And general strike.

Mayor of Chicago Brandon Johnson calls for a general strike, at least 300,000 people attended the protest. #3E #NoKings #EndImpunity #EndOligarchy #EndAutogenocide #EpsteinFiles

There were three counter protestors waving Trump flags at our local protest today. HUNDREDS of people across the street chanting back at them.

Incredibly funny to ask the utterly insane question: “isn’t it your fault the Democrat won because you had the stubbornness of running as the Republican candidate?”

Curtis Silwa was asked if he felt okay with losing and contributing to Zohran Mamdani’s victory and he responded by laying into Bill Ackman and Andrew Cuomo.

An under-discussed aspect of the Sliwassance is that no one can agree on how to spell his last name.

For the record, it’s “Sliwa.”

The No Kings March in Chicago is one of the largest gatherings I’ve seen here. Looking down from by the river, the crowd stretches for blocks down Michigan Ave and wraps around Wacker Dr. This video is from a few minutes ago and the end of the protest is nowhere in sight.

I am sick as a dog, but incredibly grateful for the No Kings contingent that was 1 block away from my CityMD in Harlem. ✊

I was at the the No Kings march in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Many elderly or disabled folks who couldn’t make it to Manhattan, but also young families and people of all ages. I stood in the same spot for more than an hour and the stream of protesters was constant. Amazing turnout.

Head to a protest today. I can almost promise you will feel less hopeless. That's exactly what they don't want. There are more of us than there are of them.

“Don’t feed the trolls” is as relevant and necessary today as it was in 2007. Attention is their oxygen; suffocate them.

Tim Onion @bencollins.bsky.social · 3d

The reason they're coming after this place is because they can't control the people on it and it drives them nuts.
