Warren: The only movement these Republicans can manage is bowing down to Trump. When you ask them about today, they claim the No Kings Rally is anti-American. They’re wrong. Hundreds of thousands of people protesting peacefully for what they believe in—that is deeply American. That is patriotism.

Oh totally - it was amazing! And I personally also count our neighbors who don’t feel safe standing out who drove by and honked!

I have seen that firsthand, yes.

Aw. 😊

Waltham, MA: about 2000, so I read. City of 60k, and many probably went to Boston instead. Well-run and joyous!

Photo of hundreds of people gathered on the city common from across the street. Sunny day, motorists honking in support, great day to stand up and speak out!

Y’all here is a fun fact: Portland has a brand new volunteer organization called “operation inflation” that allows people to borrow inflatable costumes for protests. They just started a couple weeks ago and have like a 160 costume library (and counting because people keep donating).

Our federal tax dollars are being used to fund a network of government social media accounts that pump out disinformation 24/7. Even during a government shutdown. It’s definitely not essential work.
