Scenes from #nokings Philly

An astonishingly large crowd! Chicago

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Take a picture of yourself at the No Kings rally. Print it. Put it in a frame. Your grandchildren will speak about you for generations to come. You took a stand against fascism. You stood up for democracy. 

Love this. Superbly done. Please send this far and wide. @donwinslow.bsky.social

Why? Why every event do you right wingers do this? Right wing outlet claims 100,000 in attendance and another claims 300,000 in attendance. It's like you people don't know Google exists.

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly. sbgi.net/tv-stations/

The thing I appreciate most about Sunday’s Philadelphia Inquirer: not an inch devoted on the front page to Charlie Kirk.

I'm attending No Kings's event, “NO KINGS Philadelphia” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

US military protesting the US backing of Israel’s genocide of Gaza and the Trump regime’s fascism: “Rise up America, it is time to take back this country from these corrupt politicians.” #3E

When one of the bookstores in my neighborhood closes for vacation, they actively promote the other bookstores in the neighborhood ❤️ #philly

Pennsylvania has the money to fund mass transit across the commonwealth. Pennsylvania has the money to fund mass transit across the commonwealth. Pennsylvania has the money to fund mass transit across the commonwealth.

BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

If genocide isn't your redline, then you have no redlines. The Sydney Harbour Bridge was closed temporarily as tens of thousands of Australians made their voices heard against Israel's genocide in Gaza. #FreePalestine #3E

Hey Jay, when you went off the air, you had ZERO writers who were women on staff, and hardly hired them throughout your very long career. Why shoot for just half the population?

It's still July. Old Navy better chill the eff out with their back-to-school emails.

holy shit lmao

Miss Rachel continues to have more of a moral backbone than 99% of public figures

Congress should take a cue from Anna Wintour.

This is Ando. He's been a high-risk explosives detection dog for 6 years, and last week he celebrated his final day on the job. His coworkers threw him a surprise retirement party by showering him with dummies, a special reward that detection dogs are trained to love. 14/10 congratulations Ando

The logic is pretty obvious here. Presidents can’t declare war so anything the president does without Congress can’t be a war. It’s not an assessment of what’s happening; it’s an excuse.

kinda feel like pete hegseth could’ve given us a heads up in the chat

Got this excellent pin from Etsy — all proceeds go to the ACLU. www.etsy.com/listing/4308... #abolishice

👀🚨 Bombing another country “that does not pose an imminent m threat to the US without the approval of Congress” is “an unambiguous impeachable offense.” - Democratic Rep @casten.house.gov Need other Dems to show the same kind of courage in this moment.

Pride night at Citizens Bank Park. A crowd of 44k+ people watched the Phils spank the Mets.

Dear Kristi Noem, #NoKings

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

just so we’re all clear: the reason they keep using dolls as their example is because they’re trying to frame caring about material stuff as feminine and thus inherently shameful

Hey! Press covering Trump! The statute that lets him impose tariffs at will? It EXPLICITLY excludes movies. He has no authority to do this. Not just bc of an absence of authorization, but bc the law says “you CANNOT do this.” Do NOT say “Trump has imposed movie tariffs,” bc he did not. He CANNOT.

Holy crap.

🚨 Homework for Democracy 🚨 This one is for 60% of your final grade! 😉 seriously, ultra important for Feds not to be moved to Schedule F. It allows them to be fired at will (and replaced by sycophants). It’s bad. Let’s effing go!!!

Blue states should pass laws requiring that tariffs are itemized and clearly shown in purchase receipts, by the way. Let people know how much they’re paying extra thanks to Donald Trump and the Republican Congress.

Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married? Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote. Call your rep—this is not a drill. indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Some of my favorite signs today from Hands Off DC, a 🧵

Question for Bluesky: what do you do when you see a school bus driving dangerously? Speeding (70+ MPH, tailgating and weaving through traffic). There were no kids onboard.

Elections I’m 👀 TOMORROW: —WI’s Supreme Court —FL’s specials —Mayoral race in Omaha —Mayoral race in Aurora, a Trumpian mayor in an IL city —County executives in Dane and Winnebago, WI —WI’s school superintendent —school boards all around, including far-right candidates —WI’s voter ID referendum

This is how it’s done.

HUGE protest against Elon Musk & Tesla in Cherry Hill, New Jersey on Saturday. For those who say protest doesn’t work, Tesla stock is plummeting, Tesla sales are crashing and many Tesla owners can’t offload their cars quick enough. #TeslaTakedown (🎥 Danned If You Do, via TikTok)

🚨 We need you to call your Democratic senator ASAP if their name is on this list. Tell your senator you will have their back if they do the right thing and vote NO on the extreme MAGA spending bill that would give Trump more power to dismantle the federal government: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Which one is Rihanna

Rep. Zooey Zephyr - My Wife - just gave an incredible speech against a drag ban in Montana. It was so strong that a Republican rose to speak passionately against the bill, chastising the sponsor. The drag ban dies in Montana, flips 10+ Republican votes! This is the power of representation.

I appreciate Philly Elmo bringing the drum line to the NO KINGS NO TRUMP protest in Philadelphia today.

We coulda had it all.

There are either lots of scammers or lots of lonely men (or both) on Bluesky. Whenever I get a new follower who’s a man, I check to see who else he’s following. It’s usually all women of a certain age. Which has lead me to the unfortunate realization that I’m now a woman of a certain age 👵🏻
