MSNBC captured the crowd from the Boston "No Kings" rally:

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

OK guys, post your best signs from today for entry into my Top 15 No Kings Sign Contest.

I can’t stop watching videos of people discovering Beds are Burning by Midnight Oil. Send help

Donald Trump's effort to deploy troops in American cities is not normal. There is no rational justification for such a deployment. It is a breach of the most fundamental values and customs that our armed forces operate on.

The many reasons Americans are taking to the streets for another No Kings protest One quick glance at the news and you can see exactly why so many Americans may be motivated to protest this administration. #NoKings

Trump is — and always will be — Putin’s bitch.

This is a blatant attempt to silence and isolate us. He’s stopping the trains, closing the freeways and firing live rounds into California. We will not be intimidated. We will not be silenced. #NoKings

This administration is terrified of its own citizens speaking up! Governor Greg Abbott has once again activated the Texas National Guard ahead of the second No Kings event, specifically targeting Austin, and labeling the rally a “planned Antifa-linked demonstration.”

I'm not afraid of Donald Trump — and I won't back down when it comes to protecting my people.

Good. Even if this doesn’t work, it’s time to go on offense. www.newsweek.com/jb-pritzker-...

WATCH — @drjessicaknurick.bsky.social : “Here’s a partial list of things Trump is choosing to no longer study — food insecurity, gun violence, toxic exposures etc… Just because you don't measure it doesn't mean the problem went away. Censoring science & data collection is scary in a democracy.”

Yes! Love my home state. 💚 www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

NEW An EPA report found that PFNA, a chemical in the drinking water of some 26M people, interferes with development and likely causes liver problems & male reproductive harms. The report was done in April, scientists told me. But the agency hasn't released it www.propublica.org/article/epa-...

Mike Johnson said he would swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva "as soon as she wants." His office then backtracked — saying Johnson would only swear in the duly elected Grijalva once the government reopens. Grijalva won her special election more than two weeks ago.

If you come for my people, you come through me.

The vindictive prosecutions of political enemies are not a distraction from the Epstein files - they’re one and the same: wielding the power of the DoJ to persecute your foes AND to protect your friends.

EXCLUSIVE: The Trump administration is considering selling federal student loan debt. Talks have focused on selling high-performing portions of the government’s portfolio of student debt, which is owed by about 45 million Americans.

NEW: Under Trump, the Department of Education has been bringing in activists hostile to public schools. It could mean a new era of private and religious schools boosted by tax dollars — and the end of public schools as we know them.

People ask what they can do in this moment: here's a crucially important election. There are 52,000 elections taking place next month, many of which will be determined by turnout.

EXCLUSIVE: Democratic voting rights groups are preparing for the Supreme Court to gut a key part of landmark civil rights-era legislation, the Voting Rights Act. Republicans could draw 19 more House seats if the court allows gerrymandering which dilutes the voting power of racial minorities.

This is Adelita Grijalva. She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files. She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

Way to go, Chicago, more of this! Kristi Noem is upset that ICE agents in Chicago are being “denied entry” to restrooms and lunch spots.

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. trib.al/9Sxu9IN

2 more products recalled in the deadly multi-state listeria outbreak traced to pasta meals. 4 deaths & 19 hospitalizations so far. Multiple chain stores sold the products. Listeria can cause a severe, even lethal infection. The bacteria migrate from the gut to the nervous system to cause meningitis👇

If U.S. states have any degree of sovereignty, if there’s any states’ rights at all, it is the right not to be invaded by the armed forces of another U.S. state.

Sending thoughts & prayers to the war-ravaged city of Portland, Oregon now under siege from attack by Antifa & other domestic terrorists. Take solace in dear leader's words: "Nothing bad can happen. It can only good happen." (and "DON'T TAKE TYLENOL"). Let the healing begin...

I'm not a big MLS fan, but I see the Portland Timbers are playing all their games and even doing pretty well, despite playing in a war ravaged city. And Powell's Books, the world's largest independent bookstore, is holding book readings pretty much every night. Impressive. Like London 1940.

War-ravaged Portland

The same guy telling you Portland is war-ravaged, told you Mexico was going to pay for the wall and people were eating your pets in Ohio.

🚨BREAKING: In an undercover operation last year, the FBI recorded Tom Homan, now the White House border czar,accepting $50,000 in cash after indicating he could help the agents — who were posing as business executives — win government contracts in a second Trump administration.

JUST IN: The law, opposed by police organizations, was aimed by lawmakers at immigration agents and will test state powers over the conduct of federal officials.

Good point.

Trump suggests that networks should lose their broadcast licenses if their on-air talent is critical of him.

Trump’s ongoing campaign against historical truth appears to have expanded. His administration has directed the removal of multiple signs and exhibits from national parks that reference the history of slavery.
