NO KINGS (but this one is ok)

SPRINGSTEEN IN MINNEAPOLIS: “This is still America… and this reactionary nightmare and invasion of American cities will not stand.” 🇺🇸 (From ablackpolitical)

Holy New York.

Thousands of protesters took to the streets of San Francisco, Oakland and dozens of other Bay Area cities Saturday amid record global turnout for No Kings Day, an act of defiance against the Trump administration.

To whoever did this at the #NoKings in Boston: Thank you.❤️ It made me tear up. And we must to be reminded of needless damage to humanity that results directly from the careless, bellicose bluster coming from the Pentagon and White House.

#SF always turns out for #NoKingsDay

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

No grazie, ICE

What we are seeing in Minnesota is what authoritarianism looks like in real time. Racism, dehumanization, and state-sanctioned violence are tearing at the foundation of this country.

We are begging our government to stop torturing us for a few days to let our children enjoy Halloween

Trump says "surge" operation of federal agents in San Francisco is paused following phone call with SF Mayor Lurie and some tech titans. Unclear what this means for Oakland and other Bay Area communities. Little is known about the DHS operation Trump ordered. oaklandside.org/2025/10/23/t...

Volunteers are here at the Oakland Home Depot handing out resources and keeping an eye out for federal ICE agents amid the news of the arrival of agents to Alameda's Coast Guard Island @sfchronicle.com

American citizens: No Kings! Trump people: oh ok so I’m going to destroy one of the country’s most cherished historic buildings in a “look what you made me do” type tantrum reminiscent of that abusive guy who freaked out on you when you tried to dump him.

It’s kind of wild that after seven million people were in the streets protesting, the president posted a hallucinated video of himself wearing a crown and shitting on Americans and then proceeded to start demolishing parts of the White House

No Kings San Francisco

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Today is my birthday but I don’t think it’s going to be as fun this year because of all the fascism #USA

Hundreds of protesters formed the words “IMPEACH + REMOVE” by assembling in each letter to protest the actions of President Donald Trump and adviser Elon Musk, the Tesla CEO in charge of the Department of Government Efficiency.

No, I’m not happy with this season’s finale of The White Lotus. I’m actually kind of mad right now.

This garbage can in my neighborhood has had enough

Yes!! Thank you! Go go go!! www.youtube.com/live/v2utlMx...

Happy President’s Day from San Francisco!

From @nytopinion.nytimes.com “In Trump’s first term, we were told: Don’t normalize him. In his second, the task is different: Don’t believe him,” our columnist Ezra Klein says.

Not feeling so great about returning to the US

Yes, I’m mostly posting pictures of animals but I can see what’s going on back home. It’s terrifying but it’s meant to be — the point is to overwhelm and exhaust with outrage. That doesn’t make it easier but keep diligent with your ideals and self care. Take breaks. Do something you enjoy.

Because everyone could use good lion cub cuddle party right now. Take care, friends. Glad to see you here.

Hi gorgeous #tanzania

Can you die from seeing too many #elephants in one day?
