So proud of everyone! The NYPD confirmed that rallies across the city have ended with no arrests. It’s getting harder and harder for Trump to sell his propaganda.

Hark, Speaker Mike Johnson! Looking at all the many, many pics of the enormous, joyous “No Kings” rallies throughout the United States today, I am struck by what lovely weather your Lord and Savior provided. Apparently, God is a fan of, as you claimed, "America-hating Antifa terrorists." Glory!

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.

This sign spoke to me.

(apologies for being such a bad photographer that I cut this fellow former Republican’s head out of the photo)

Here at our local No Kings.

I’d say turnout is perhaps 4X that of June.

Sorry to inform Mike Johnson, I haven’t run into anyone paid to be here, or “antifa,” or anti-American. Many veterans. Lots of attendees thanking the pair of Fairfax Country policeman strolling around keeping an eye on things.

In protesting peacefully we reclaim our cities and communities from state brutality. These are our spaces, our homes.

Weingarten: There are so many people who want to fight for our democracy and say no kings. And what I have just been told, that in New York City, there are more people at Times Square than there are on New Year's Eve

I do as well.

A tweet from Alex Cole says: “My favorite No Kings protest sign.” The attached photo shows a protest crowd in front of a city building. One protester holds a large handmade sign in red and blue letters that reads: “NOT A PAID PROTESTER — I HATE TRUMP FOR FREE.” Other smaller protest signs and American flags are visible around them.

Greenberg: They spent the last week on the attack against no kings, smearing all of us as anti-american. They tried to scare us out of gathering today. I have got a question for you. Are we afraid?

Greenberg: I have got something to say to Mike Johnson who spent all week smearing regular Americans. There are nearly a dozen No Kings protests happening across your district today.

Since you have not been doing your job for over a month now, I bet you have got time to stop by.

The Trump administration just ordered two Gulfstream luxury private jets for Kristi Noem at a cost of over $172 million.

This comes as Americans can barely afford groceries.

The GOP is the Guardian of the Pedophiles.

It'll all come out, folks.

Trump is a degenerate, vile human being and I pray all these men who raped girls are inshallah going to be exposed.
