While we push for no kings, this song honoring Oshun, beauty and the divine feminine is giving me strength today. 🦚🪞 Be safe, and be strong, everyone. #MaferefunOshun youtu.be/ruRHHve-nbw?...

I would like Trump to meet Gritty We would all enjoy this Especially Gritty

I don’t say this with any disrespect for permitted events, but it’s clear some people don’t understand the difference in what to expect between a permitted event and an unauthorized march, action, or assembly.

Hypothesis: park rangers are the librarians of our outdoor spaces send post

I didn't know this, and the symbolism is striking.

what I miss about being young is the ability to get offended that someone else doesn't like a tv show I do

“Yeah I can do a Pesci,” 90-year-old DeNiro

We could've had him as our VP. 😔

Reminder that using a chatbot to produce “subversive” content is a sucker’s game.

so theyre just doing the Godfather but with cats who came up with this I need to send them a personal thank you note along with my money

I really don't love how everything is Watchmen

There are folks who can't seem to do anything but cling to ugly, but there are a lot more who really do make America beautiful. Happy Pride! 💗 No kings, not now, not ever! I love y'all.

With the Star Tribune now mentioning legislators in the story, I’ll just say: Some of you know I worked for the Minnesota legislature years ago after law school. This hits terribly close to home, and I am so worried and sad.

chip in if you can, or help spread the word? It all helps!

My heart is with all my friends in the Twin Cities.

i feel like this situation will resolve itself

something about making moderation lists on here drives people mad with power and i truly don’t get it

Minnesota, be extra careful today. 👇

liberals caused HIV for profit is such an incredible take I am praying this is not an op because the world needs at least one person this delightfully deranged by terminal internet usage

I also have to stay home but repeating everything Celeste says. Protest is a powerful tool for building alliances and feeling joyful in the face of tyranny.

Can't march myself today so I really, really, really appreciate those of you who are. Be safe + keep your eyes open, let yourself feel supported by your community, and yell loud. You are not alone! And post pics if you can to inspire those who'll join next time! ❤️👊

This just means they'll now be targeting doctors nurses and nannies, the quotas are not reduced they have just been told to target areas that are less financially damaging to his donors

Also if someone does a “If You Don’t Swing, You’re No King” sign, please post the photo and tag me

StickerMule CEO alleges death threat from party leader www.timesunion.com/capitol/arti... - We should have known that this guy was going to try to run for office. Don't shop at Sticker Mule.

Stay safe out there today.

its a game where you and your friends each choose a character and go on adventures together until one of you goes "well actually" about the rules so many times that you stop meeting

so they've started trying to kill opposition lawmakers now

If you have a cat, prepare for them to present it to you as a furry, squiggly tribute

It's ok to be wrong. Holding on to bullshit just so you don't have to admit that to yourself is unhealthy. It's especially OK to change your mind about political views you held when there is evidence to contradict what you thought. Trump is in fact a fascist. You can say so.

may I ask whether this is the sort of bitters by which he blows back the life into a half-drowned man?

I wrote about how the idea of Stephen King writing scary stories and cuddly stories is sort of false, because … they’re all scary. The big question in what people think of as the warm-hearted stories is just, “What now?” www.npr.org/2025/06/14/n...

Super interesting thread on cognition & correcting misinfo (among other things).

Probably not a good idea to argue about Iran with USians who can't find it on a map.

what nobody will ever tell you but I will because I am the voice of truth is that there is an official caption under the statue that says "Fuck off Babies, It's Dancing Time"

It's an important role in the current information environment for each of us to become our own news aggregators and to disseminate that actual news through our own networks.

If you can't protest in person today (for whatever reason) here's a virtual rally you can join! 👇

If there is no local coverage, take the next steps to reach out to local news desks and write a letter to your local paper telling them that you are appalled that they did adequately cover the rallies.

If you can't attend the rallies today for whatever reasons, something useful you can do is scour your local news outlets for coverage and share the coverage on social media and pump it out to all of your networks. Amplify what's happening locally so others in your communities are aware.

The Guardian US has been around for 14 years.

If you aren't able to march today (for any reason)--here's a quiet protest you can do on your own time, today and going forward.

Super useful and very clear guidelines about going to protests. Exercise your first amendment rights, be in community, be safe. 👇

Ah, I was wondering when we'd get to the "start killing opposition lawmakers" stage

“Suspect is white male, brown hair, wearing black body armor over blue shirt and blue pants and may misrepresent himself as law enforcement.”

Robert DeNiro still has it this is LeBron-like

deleted cuz people repost replies.

Ahead of Father’s Day I wrote about being the child of an older father and the older father of children for the New Yorker. Happy Father’s Day! www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

Neighbor up early with the grill going…alright then Dodge

Look at the rosters he rolled out there with Dirk post-2011, take this man’s advice on nothing.

I like how when the story about Evers being removed from the website first broke a bunch of people made it a point to be very particular about how you can still find it if you navigate etc. now that they’re removing his name from a ship those same people are silent.

“It’s bad enough when law enforcement engages in such mass surveillance, but to have such data flowing through a private company creates an additional set of incentives for abuse…”

Wake up, feel the drowsy wonder of rising from dreams, get mad about the phrase “the power of the free market.” It’s like Groundhog Day over here

my free will had received a mortal wound; and that another’s mistake or misfortune might plunge innocent me into unmerited disaster

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Maysara. Maysara wanted to be a content creator and to get married before this. He has since lost his home, income, injured his hand and his brother was martyred. He is trying to take care of his parents and his brother’s children.

God bless I have to go to IKEA

do you not find a strange analogy to something in yourself?

I have bruises up and down my arms from moving boxes but I’m so pale that it looks really gnarly and I’m pondering wearing long sleeves today to avoid well meaning women telling me I should just leave him 😂

Even if you dislike antifa (which why? stop being a weirdo) the only advice I’d take on how to stay safe at a protest would come from them

I honestly think a lot of these weirdos would be happier as full on fascists- half their day is just spent fantasizing about causing pain to socialists

I name no names. Shame upon them! Put one foot upon the table. Shame upon all cowards.

Annnnnd...of course.

THE LIFE OF CHUCK was sublime! Congrats @mikeflanaganfilm.com!!! Loved the nod to ALL THAT JAZZ, which I still think about ALL THE TIME. (But omg why did the first third feel so much like a documentary? It really captured what it feels like trying to be a teacher during these times.)

Going into prevent mode with one win on the season is …dog

I did not know the pacarana was a creature that existed until today... I am delighted to say the least...

By Jove, I have it!

I've fr been keeping my passport on my person as a safety precaution and now im like.....i dont know what i expected

OK, just *one* king — Boy George 👑 & his whole reign is based on ethering JKR

this whole thread is a delight

Your cedar waxwing prussian officer in full parade uniform moment of the day.

Some last photos from today in Eastern Oregon. Lovely day of exploring.

When the first racist travel bans were enacted in 2017, I made a sign, got in my car & drove to O’Hare Airport. I had no idea what to expect. There were hundreds of people outside the international terminal & we protested & I hadn’t done anything like that in years; it was a galvanizing experience.

Your moment of cuteness today: A western chipmunk bein' all sweet and lovely.

Western Kingbird at Deschutes River State Park in Oregon. Thanks to @sarahlovesbirds.bsky.social for spotting the bird and the nest! So cute!

ol man's precision put a smile on my face alt-text lifted from @exceedhergrasp1.bsky.social: A white man with white hair sits at a table using a ruler to make sure his letters are evenly spaced: TRUMP IS A DICK-TATOR it reads in black block letters.

My mother, who does not attend protests, is going to a No Kings event in her area. She's an older woman with debilitating health problems, so this is a big outing for her. For the people acting like these events might be scary, my 67-year-old mom with arthritis and COPD is attending. You'll be fine.

the best posters have locked accounts and no followers. they post from the rarest of air and their posts are only knowable by intuition. compared to them we are all barely posting at all, stuck in likes-land, over here in the on-deck circle getting ready to post

Turns out this guy sealed the OKC win. They were tied when he got up

I cannot believe this 4th quarter

Half of all news lately is like “now that people are openly racist, Country A thinks it’s finally ok to run over Country B with a bulldozer”

Nothing gets a karaoke bar on your side like a capably executed Kelly Clarkson single

Gift link? The only gift link I’m trying to see is a good kielbasa with some sauerkraut on a roll, am I right folks

If you're marching tomorrow show us your signs! And if you want to march but aren't sure where, find a protest near you here. There are a LOT. www.nokings.org

Everyone who said the Nazi comparisons were hysterical, do you have enough Nazi-ing yet or do you need a full on holocaust to get underway before we can say “this is that bad”?

The terror theater is changing venues because of inconvenience to patrons

an unfurnished parlor called the blubber-room

Boston folks: come march against kings and celebrate Pride all in one parade!

If you're comfortable, consider carrying both LGBTQ+ rainbow flags and American flags. Let's take our symbols back. (I've also seen suggestions this is good for news coverage and maybe for getting police/military to think twice before escalating? Not sure if that's true.)

keep that to yourself or write in your journal.

Respectfully, if you're a white person with a lot of privileges I think posting publicly that you are scared to attend a rally is some real bullshit. It has to be said.
