No Kings Protest today in Chandler, AZ!

No Kings Tucson AZ

I'm floored. This is ONE stretch of ONE side of the street in deep red, small town Knoxville, TN today. This is a city that Trump won in 2024 by 20+ points. The scope of these protests are massive—American from both sides of the aisle are pissed. There will be no kings.

I just like to post these data from time to time to puncture the mythological aura of mid 20th c protests. They were less popular than pretty much any 21st c mass action & people criticizing them used the same lines. Protest is about people coming together, shaping narratives, & building power.

Hot out there in Surprise, AZ today however the crowd was pleasant, energetic, happy and helpful, and easily 10:1 support for #NoKings from those passing by. That was a welcome morale boost!

SURPRISE AZ PROTEST

No Kings/Dicktators! Surprise, AZ

No Kings in SURPRISE AZ!!🇺🇸🇺🇸

Video of just part of the street at our local Surprise, AZ #nokings protest.

A guy in a Patriotic Pest Control truck in Surprise, AZ shouted obscenities at us during the #NoKings demonstration today. Sir, “patriotic pest control” is what we’re out here trying to do! 😆

Honestly the fact that they are activating the Guard in several states in response to the No Kings protests makes me want to go even more. It's building them up to be a huge event, and well, why let them down? www.stripes.com/branches/arm...

@ericswalwell.bsky.social urges all Americans to show up for No Kings Day this Saturday. “If we don’t show up, democracy dies” #NoKingsDay

Please get engaged. Don’t forget reaching out to your colleagues and finding ways to work together. Ten scientists working to take an action together are more powerful than the sum of each acting alone. bsky.app/profile/altn...

1/ OK, Democratic members of Congress in the US Senate. It’s time for some tough love. I am aware your pollsters and consultants tell you things like “the American people want us to work together” and “ focus on prescription drug prices in the economy.”

Hey if anyone is considering backing up any datasets for some reason today, the Open Science Framework has free storage up to 5G/private repository, and up to 50G/public repository. (The OSF is run by a 501c3 (Center for Open Science), so if you do this you might also consider making a donation.)

Remember how Trump said he "sent the military in and opened up the water flow" in CA? It appears he forced the Army Corps to just drain reservoirs into recently flooded farmland without telling local farmers or leaders. “In 25 years, I’ve never seen anything like this.” sjvwater.org/decision-to-...

This. The only way politicians *ever* act bravely is when we light a fire under their ass. I have said it a million times, I will say it a million times more: Electeds are targets, not saviors.

Assuming we make it through the next couple of decades, this will be an incredible image for future historians/students of the Trump era

ok, this is sadly kinda funny. i guess we laugh or cry nowadays

Trump’s “Buyout” Offer for Federal Workers Is Already Backfiring: “I’ll continue to do my job and fight for the position I’ve earned. It took me 10 years of applying and 20 years experience in my field to get here. I will not be pushed out by two billionaire trust funds babies. I’M NOT LEAVING!”

Looks like he has been defrocked by his church. anglicancatholic.org

Ever think about it?

Let's be clear: the Medicaid portal went offline because of Donald Trump's orders. The only reason it is back on is due to outrage from the American people. Now, they are trying to lie about it. Medicaid was never taken away from Americans under President Biden.

I love when people say stuff like "the biopic about this administration is going to be SCATHING" brother at this rate the biopic is going to be called "The Great Patriot: Rise Of A Ruler" and they'll make our kids watch it in school

The White House has to "check back" about whether or not they just shut off the program that funds health care for 2 million Arizonans? I can tell you the answer: Arizona's Medicaid payment portal has been turned off. This is absurd.

God bless

My firm is willing to represent pro bono those fired in this unlawful and vindictive purge. These dedicated civil servants were performing their jobs and upholding the rule of law.

The Trump administration’s rebranded Schedule F policy aims to reclassify federal employees in policy roles as at-will, removing civil service protections. This will politicize agencies by allowing dismissals based on political alignment.

For the love of God can someone go to DC and explain to them like they are little babies that this is about deciding whether they want to make Trump an actual king right now
