From the day after the election @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @chuckschumer.com & their leadership teams SHOULD have been in a room identifying opposition tactics- NO DEM votes on cabinet, judges, Bills. Instead they both put out stmts-we’ll look for common ground” . NO. We will oppose everything

No Kings protests, and anti-regime protests in general, serve two main positive functions:

1) Reminding participants and observers that they’re very far from alone, countering regime efforts to divide and isolate

2) Showing the absurdity of regime lies about the peaceful, pro-democracy opposition

Reconstructionist @unavaleable.bsky.social · 5h

Funny they can't say the name of protests because saying "No Kings" makes it soooo clear it's the opposite of a "hate America rally"
