The low turnout will force MAGA to go to great lengths to spin a clear flop as a success. Trump wanted badly for this to be a grand, raucous, March on Washington-level event and it just wasn’t close. https://trib.al/C3sbrWh
Trump’s Military Parade Was a Pathetic Event for a Pathetic President
The turnout wasn’t anything like what he wanted—and not everyone who showed up was even a fan of his.

President Trump said that he had no plans to call Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota after a man assassinated a state lawmaker there and wounded another over the weekend.

"I think the governor of Minnesota is so whacked out, I’m not calling him," Trump told reporters.

Masked agents in unmarked cars disappearing people from the street and shipping them to a dictator’s prison. Executive branch officials blowing off federal court orders, wrestling members of Congress to the ground and handcuffing them for asking a question. Smells like fascism.

Whoa! Hats off to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for keeping his cool yesterday.

This LAPD officer needs to be relieved of duty if he can’t handle an alleged “touch” without snapping.

In 2023, Russell Vought detailed plans to deploy the military in response to domestic unrest: “We want to be able to shut down the riots and not have the legal community or the defense community come in and say, ‘That’s an inappropriate use of what you’re trying to do."

The Denver “No Kings” demonstration is 95-year-old Dolores Taylor’s first protest. Seeing other people her age at the protest gives her hope, she said.

“We’re here, coming out against the Trump administration, because this is not the American way,” she said.

1. The main photo should have been of the politician who was brutally murdered, not of the tank deployed to their neighbourhood after she was already gone.

2. There is nothing "enigmatic" about the assassin. He is very straightforward: average brainless Republican right-wing Nazi.

Millions of people marched. Millions. We hear that number a lot, even billion, so it doesn't sound as big as it should. That's a *lot* of people. Do you know, say, 100 people? A million is ten thousand times that many. Want to count to a million one per second? It'll take 11 days.

A lot of people.

When are we going to call the white man who clearly plotted and schemed an act of violence, and shot two Minnesota law makers and their spouses out of political hatred

@maddow.msnbc.com Here is a picture of the No Kings Protest in Algoma, WI. The Algoma police had officers at each end of the road and would stop and talk to any car that did honked in support, it didn't look like they issued any tickets. Why would they feel the need to do this?

Before the cops in LA started escalating things for no reason it was funny how my main takeaway was how much people were looking out for each other in really helpful ways. I’ve never seen so many people with carts giving away free water, sunscreen, snacks, and masks to total strangers.

Stickers are a great way to get in a daily small act of civil disobedience 😻
Free stickers are how we keep the protest going. When everyone is gone, the free stickers will remain

It’s how we speak out together.

Put up just one. Take a picture. Post it. Free stickers at
