I think with so many event scattered all through the nation it would be incredibly difficult to get an accurate count. Plus there were tons of people driving by our rally honking their support. Have hope. Next we hit for the Epstein files, hard. I hope they're having Mussolinni nightmares.

I’m absolutely exhausted in the best possible way. I love us. We did it! #NoKings

I'm glad you are !!! 1/3 of all eligible Americans don't even go to the ballot box to vote. The other 2/3 's are watching a football game and planning their next big extravaganza. Americans are still to 'comfortable' and their pets get better treatment than most people around the 🌏 Checked out.

i highly recommend buying NOTHING at all except groceries, sharing, swapping, lending, saving, rationing, reusing, time-banking, and learning to make or do with out. we need to mobilize a rolling strike, targeting amazon prime shipping + streaming + ring cams. build a world where we don't need them.

I think it's because regular people don't know what to do when fascist elites are trying to make us all serfs and invent a new currency that destroys the planet and doles out resources based on whether fascists think you deserve to live. this shit is bleak and we need voices that highlight agency.

Why isn’t every large account warning about the “network state” movement? In August, “network state” leader Balaji Srinivassan—a close ally of Peter Thiel & Marc Andreessen—wrote that, “When Bitcoin wins,” it “ends the Fed,” the “battle begins,” & “it's time to build”. 1/

This week, I offer a SNEAK PEEK at my son's new novel, and remember a tale from my own time as a precocious child scribe. On time travel, stone age tools, and Idelandic fish festivals. observer.co.uk/news/columni...

Publishers, please correspond at the usual address.

To be clear it requires sustained action from 3.5% of the population, not just a single day of protest. That said this day is a huge step towards that goal, just be aware that the fight ahead is going to be long and difficult. We are on the path, but there will be many battles ahead.

Just to be absolutely clear...

The U.S. Secret Service uncovered a suspicious hunting stand with a direct line of sight to where President Convicted Felon exits Air Force One at the Palm Beach International Airport in #Florida. www.orlandosentinel.com/2025/10/19/f... via @orlandosentinel.com

Fascists have bots in order to distort reality and appear like they exist in the millions. They’re a phantom, an illusion. America had 7 million people on the streets yesterday.

“oh here, i have it queued up on this tablet for you already” how i expect reporters to reply to the “havent seen it” replies from republicans

It’s part of his cognitive dominance. He can make half the country pretend they haven’t seen it. It’s part of the ritual humiliation.

if the president does something so awful it would be indecent to describe and ask about then you very obviously need to describe and ask about it, thats the entire job

as far as just messaging goes that video is probably the most embarrassing thing any president has done on the world stage in my life and the fact that the sunday shows wont even describe it? total abdication of their responsibility

What is Trump talking about when he says he wants to go after “Democrat programs”? Healthcare? Clean air? Safe food? These aren’t “Democrat programs.” These are people programs.

More people marched today than at any time in the history of the United States. For @nytimes.com, it was the 6th most important story. They are making sure that those in power do not see what they do not want to see. This is not what we were brought up to think of as journalism.

Nothing that any elected Democrat has ever said about Republican voters is ever as crass or as cruel as what Trump says about Democratic constituencies every single day, and the media just treats it as background noise.

This has been true since Sarah Palin claimed there was a “real America” to thunderous applause The last time a Republican got dinged for speaking poorly of cities was Ted Cruz (NY, SF) in 2016, and that’s because he’s Ted Cruz not because anyone really defended cities

The world joined us and said, “No Kings.”

I just watched Paul McCartney play 2.5 hours of time capsule-worthy classics. My verdict is that he’s the greatest songwriter in the history of rock n roll.

I'll leave you from Portland with one last video of the @unpresidentedbrass.bsky.social, the unofficial house band of #NoKings

I’m so proud of the Purdue paper— this is the embodiment of a free press. Pentagon Papers style. Thank you, Exponent!

Incredible. If you grew up in Indiana, you know what a big deal this is.

This is Boise, Idaho for #NoKings By Meidas Touch

"The New York Police Department said Saturday afternoon that it had not made any protest-related arrests. The D.C. police also said Saturday afternoon that it had made no protest-related arrests."

My 11-year-old made her own #NoKings sign and marched the whole way to the Capitol in Madison for today's rally.

So proud of this kid. #NoKings

That sign with the orange piece! So clever

Love my city! ❤️🌉❤️ #sanfrancisco #nokings #YesOn50 📸: Photo by Laure Andrillon/AFP via Getty Images

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress nearly a month ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in. Why the delay? Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

The No King protests represent a broad popular front. That’s exactly why the president’s allies are demonizing the organizers.

I'm a bit confused by all the snarky comments about older, white protesters as if they somehow aren't legitimate. They actually represent a very big chunk of the population and are usually considered to be more conservative than everyone else. Isn't a good thing that they're protesting fascism?

Moreover, they're out there protesting so that immigrants and other brothers and sisters of color know they aren't alone. Let the cops and ICE see that what they're doing is NOT supported by the people they think back their violent crackdown.

I made signs expressing points of disagreement with the government

This one goes out to @josephpolitano.bsky.social Boston #NoKings

"The five loaves were found carbonized, which preserved them in such condition the iconography stamped on them is still clearly legible."

My 14 year old niece came up with this one. So true. #NoKings

#NoKings protest in Farmington Maine today was triple the size of the June event. Filled with joyful, loving, caring, educated, peaceful, and generous citizens, young and old. Governor Mills even made an appearance. #FirstAmendment

Hooray! Dartmouth, where I teach, becomes 6th of the original 9 offered the compact to say NO.
