MAGA wants us afraid and divided, but we’re not backing down. Let’s make October 18 the biggest day of peaceful protest in American history: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

Micah on Bluesky: “they are clearly trying to terrify everyone out of showing up to the No Kings protest and I simply do not think it is going to work

see you all there”

Ron Filipkowski on Bluesky: “The No Kings protests have been some of the most peaceful and well attended political assemblies in American history. In fact, MAGA has mocked them as a bunch of boomer grandmothers. Now they are apparently terrorists.”

Jon Favreau on Twitter: “A top Republican in Congress just called millions of Americans terrorists.

The last No Kings protests saw 4-6 million people turn out. They were peaceful. They were joyful. There were American flags everywhere.

Those of us who will be participating next weekend in what Emmer calls a "hate rally" for "terrorists" love our country - particularly its promise that we're all created equal, that we all have the right to speak freely, to enjoy equal protection under the law, to believe what we want, and to choose our leaders without fear of reprisal.

The No Kings protests are happening because Emmer and Trump and his regime are trampling on those rights and freedoms.”

Leah Greenberg on Bluesky: “"After a few moments of laughter, the No Kings Coalition issued the following statement"”

"After a few moments of laughter, the #NoKings Coalition issued the following statement"

Statement Re: Speaker Johnson Comments on No Kings

Washington, D.C. - Today, House Speaker Mike Johnson blamed the peaceful No Kings Day of Action on October 18 for the ongoing government shutdown. After a few moments of laughter, the No Kings coalition issued the following statement:

"Speaker Johnson is running out of excuses for keeping the government shut down.
Instead of reopening the government, preserving affordable healthcare, or lowering costs for working families, he's attacking millions of Americans who are peacefully coming together to say that America belongs to its people, not to kings.

"We'll see everyone on October 18."

All No Kings events adhere to a shared commitment to nonviolent protest and community safety.
Organizers are trained in de-escalation and are working closely with local partners to ensure peaceful and powerful actions nationwide.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

This is not a border crossing.
There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

I don’t get why some people still act like this isn’t serious. Like it’ll just blow over. It won’t. Even without Trump, this agenda keeps rolling if we let it. The framers would be losing their damn minds right now.

Masks. Armed. No insignia. No names. No warrants. But they will come up to an American citizen on the street and threaten him with arrest for peacefully exercising basic American rights.

I'd challenge historians of the American Revolution to articulate how things were worse than this in April 1775.

In a Chicagoland Suburb, Berwyn, IL, multiple ICE agents and a cameraman surround a resident who blew his horn and walked down the street in his own neighborhood. They demand his ID and they threatene...

Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."

Eight kids out of tens of thousands isn’t diplomacy. It’s theater.
Melania and Putin claiming progress on “war affected children” isn’t hope. It’s PR.

Eight reunions are symbolic, not systemic.

Columbus didn’t discover North America.
The Vikings did in 1021 AD, centuries earlier.

He landed in the Caribbean, not here.
