TFW the Vice President is trying to post through it.

Nick (derogatory) ✨ @slothropsmap.bsky.social · 1d

It is a scandal totally unprecedented in history that the Vice President has shared a video depicting the President as king. It’s an obscene violation of every founding American principle.

And nothing will come of it. It makes me physically sick.

The UK No Kings sympathy protests may seem a little ironic but it’s No Kings, plural, you’re allowed one.

In a small town very red Shenandoah County, Virginia, right across from a house with MAGA flags, there was house with a Spanberger sign and a pic of Trump with his face drooping captioned "King Dementia the First."

Rural libs are on another level of fearless

so, on the one hand this is true. on the other hand there is no one more insane on this issue than rural red state liberals themselves

Kevin M. Kruse @kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 1d

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.

Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

NO KINGS, NO RHYTHM, NO MASTERS

Important note regarding my local No Kings: we suck at chanting, especially in unison. At one point, due to the size of the crowd and people not hearing each other, three distinct chants were going at once. Total cacophony.

Capitol Police were very chill tbh. And also I'm realizing I didn't notice any National Guard actually near the mall. Just the metro stations.

Nathan Goldwag @goldwagnathan.bsky.social · 1d

I was not at the June protest but my dad was, and he kept commenting today on how much more casual and less confrontational the police were this time. No riot gear, very dispersed, very relaxed.

I hope each and every one of the fascists who rule this country read this and choke.

It is 10:36 AM on a Saturday and the Metro is already packed. Lots of people clearly going to the protest. It's insane we Discourse about this and don't see this as prime recruitment opportunities.

Next Saturday, Lowell is going to say it again, as long as it needs to keep being said, that in America, there is no sovereign above the law.

Lowell Democrats will be tabling there, along with many other community organizations too, because this work will have to keep going after Saturday.
