Some of the terrific protest signs at #NoKings Lexington Common, Massachusetts today.

Beautiful day to protest on Lexington Common, where the “Shot heard ‘round the world” was fired! Huge crowd has turned out - in the thousands- with great signs, passion and the Amphiba (inflatable frogs) movement!

1. It’s tempting to believe the Democrats are winning the shutdown fight. After all, if Marjorie Taylor Greene, she of Jewish space laser fame, is now the voice of reason, something is surely going their way.

Wonderful and creative protest signs are a feature of the Resistance movement (Boston “Workers over Billionaires” March, Labor Day 2025).

The Boston “Workers over Billionaires” March went through the historic part of Boston, past iconic symbols of the Revolution, in an inspiring display (Faneuil Hall in the background).

Best sign today, so far . . . (“Workers over Billionaires” March in Boston).

I’m thinking the protest sign umbrella is the new fashion statement. Practical, multi-purpose, foldable, updatable tool for protesters everywhere.

@jojofromjerz.bsky.social JoJo, I have been reading your posts for years. Your “Fourth and the Fight” piece was the best you have ever done. Thank you for articulating so well what many of us are struggling to say in such a moving and inspiring way.

#nokings I am attending the debrief call this evening—attended the rally in Bel Air, MD on Saturday.

Hundreds of people lining the street in little Bal Air, MD for No Kings rally. “Resist, Hon!” is a very Maryland expression.

A Republican congressman fundraising off threats from Trump is the most 2025 Republican Party thing ever.

@swingleftnsca.bsky.social Hi Swing Left folks! Here are some photos from the April 5 protest march in Boston. The crowd size, enthusiasm and creative signage were all very inspiring.

This is a very good point. About a very feeble excuse.

The Supreme Court’s Redistribution of Rights
It’s almost unfathomable to me what the Supreme Court has done to us in the last 15 years, but we all should have seen it coming.
