All demonstrations are by their name performance. This is not intellectual analysis but self important drivel.

The “normies” started these protest. Nice to see the kids start to show up.

My mom texted me with a picture of her at one of the No Kings protests. Her first protest ever. The normies have awakened.

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.

Lots of young people in Chicago. Lots of young families in Chicago. Grade school kids with their own, hand made signs.

I suspect the MAGA government decided to launch all these Bluesky accounts tonight to try to bait people in advance of No Kings.

These people have incurable 4chan brain and this is how they operate.

Block them. Do not engage. Do not give them what they want.

Don't engage. Just block. They want to push their rage bait on here. Don't give them the satisfaction.
