Holy s*** this is bigger than before. San Jose has turned out in force!

Heyo! I am here in #SanJoséCA at St. James Square for #NoKings 2.0 where a few thousand people are already here for the 12 p.m. protest. The march will, as always, be the same route as 50501 protests so—disclaimer—I will likely be complaining about sidewalk-only marching in a short while.

San Jose, CA #NoKings

DC feeder march to the main No Kings rally offered many sights and sounds

Head to a protest today. I can almost promise you will feel less hopeless. That's exactly what they don't want. There are more of us than there are of them.

We in philanthropy have also found that the only way forward is together. #FreedomtoGive #FreedomtoInvest #CourageIsContagious #UniteInAdvance

Loving the fact that #NoKings has adopted this from Andor! See you out there today!🫡✊✊✊

Hopefully, the prosecutors held back some charges so they can convict Santos all over again (of different crimes).

You guys see this movement to fight Citizens United in Montana? It's probably one of the toughest things to try to beat given how much evil money I'm sure is being poured into oppo, but if they dooooooooooo

Contrasting with facts: Trump says that SF has worse crime, facts say the murder rate is the lowest in 70 years. Imagine that. www.sfchronicle.com/crime/articl...

Very impressive how he turns "God bless America" into an expletive.

Imagine having an ACTUAL king that is less of a tyrant than your “democratically” elected president.

I protested the Vietnam War after I left the Air Force (4 years active duty). That was in 1970. The No Kings protest this weekend will be my first since then.

If you have never been to a protest before, and you’re nervous about going to no Kings, but you wanna go, comment below with your concerns. And if you’ve protested, read the comments, and if you find one that you can alleviate their concern, reply. Hopefully this will get more people to attend!

I think that the Orange Guy is not real clear on the concept of "Covert". That isn't a real surprise since he isn't real clear on "Legal" or "Honest" or "Ally" either. I would hate to be in the field while he is spouting off back at home. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

These are the young leaders of tRump's America. Only pushed back because it leaked, not because they were doing it. To actually fix this, the GOP must lose, lose, lose. They must not be in power.

Mike Johnson can say all that he wants. But I stand for the foundational aspects of our country like freedom of speech and assembly. That's why you will see me on Saturday speaking and assembling in the nokings rally. Trying to suppress our rights has no place in government.

Trump’s power depends on maintaining the illusion that he’s all-powerful, and that Americans adore him. But that illusion is harder to maintain if millions of people are in the streets protesting. This is why Republicans are trying to discredit No Kings Day rallies before they've even happened.

Take a friend this Saturday to the national protests.

Very clever idea here. Just as having the *right* to fly does not give you the *power* to fly, removing the power of corporations to spend money politically does not change their rights.

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵) www.consumerreports.org/lead/protein...

Conversely, the full moon will be above the horizon for 24 hours in the zone of darkness. I think I saw that on a flight across Greenland a bit ago.

Let's all turn out on the 18th to say that we will have no kings. Together we have the real power in this country. It has always been this way when some of us were oppressed. Once the rest of us stood with those being ground down, nothing could move us. Now is the time. youtu.be/Qf0vf6eV6JE?...

The is literally nothing more American and patriotic than declaring: No Kings.

Do we all recognize the Crisis was that all branches allowed an insurrectionist to be certified in against Constitutional prohibition bc neither Congress or SCOTUS wanted to forbid him so ignored the provison? This is Dems not wanting to challenge and be called maga. This was preventable

You know I was unsure about whether I'd be able to make the October 18th "No Kings" rally, but I'm sure as hell going now.

I am still indigesting the fact that I discovered that I lack true commitment to the metric system with its powers of ten. This crisis of faith occurred when I discovered that the Coop in Switzerland sells packages of 10 eggs instead of 12. Like, that's totally METRIC. But it was disturbing.

I live pretty rural and there are two No Kings protest organized within 15 minutes of me so I have to choose which one to go to. I promise. You can find one near you too. www.nokings.org#map

Pope Leo quotes Hannah Arendt: “The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist." www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

It's always good to see priests who still remember there are *seven* Catholic social principles. Also, that noise you hear is the USCCB screeching to the Vatican and getting back nothing, lol
