Sara Haghdoosti: Let me put this as clearly as I can, Donald Trump's reckless and illegal strikes over the weekend has made us less safe. The last few days have been terrifying but they've also been helpful. Why? Because the anti-war majority did show up.

#NoKings coverage was better by smaller outlets while editors of influential news outlets like NYTimes / WSJ / WaPo continue downplay & dampen coverage of the pro-democracy movement and demonstrations like #NoKings.

The hospital I'm standing in front of, and hospitals all over America, are going to close because of the big ugly bill.

David Valadao voted to cut Medicaid, but the bill is going back to the House. He has one last chance to do the right thing.

Ezra Levin: I really got a shout out new and independent media that helped spread the word...We saw folks like the creators @politicsgirl.bsky.social and @aaronparnas.bsky.social and new media operations like @contrariannews.org and @meidastouch.com...Media is oxygen for a social movement.

Ezra Levin: When we heard Trump was planning his absolutely pathetic birthday military parade…[we knew he] wanted to project strength. He wanted to cow the opposition into submission. That's why we put together No King's day to send a message that democracy was reasserting itself. @indivisible.org

No Kings mass call opens @ashdashlee.bsky.social: I have been cheerleading this No Kings moment for quite some time, and not just because I thought it was gonna be a moment, but because I felt like it was critical to a pivot into a mass movement, a big front of us to say absolutely not on our watch!
