This is my kind of leader! #NoKingsDay

“He tried to kill his own Vice President. Do you think he cares about you?” -Barack Obama

If they think gunning down Democrats is going to deter us from resisting tyranny, they’ve got another thing comin’.

A Democratic Mayor arrested. A Democratic Congresswoman indicted. A Democratic Senator tackled and detained. A Democratic State Representative killed. A Democratic State Representative in critical condition. We can all see where this is going.

"IT" as in FASCISM is here. The Democrats killed today won't be the last. Trump's use of genocidal language to describe Democrats, migrants is designed to incite violence in the hopes of silencing dissent.

Demonstrations have started in Nashville, Houston, Atlanta and Newark. Los Angeles said it was preparing for a turnout that “may be unprecedented.” - NYT 👏👏

Philadelphia is looking AMAZING.

Two democratic representatives were targeted, shot, and one of them killed in an attack by a MAGA nutjob who was posing as (or was?) a police officer. The biggest threat from terrorism in this country is the GOP. www.fox9.com/news/melissa...

The No Kings marches across the nation we're all participating in today are the opposite of the political violence that occurred in the Minneapolis suburbs overnight. Peaceful protest is the cornerstone of our democratic republic. Take to the streets today! Be bold, be loud!

Seeing the reporting out of Minnesota, and my heart is crushed for the families of those killed and shot. their families and those who loved them. My prayer is that these monsters are caught promptly.

Any Democrat in Congress who offers to find common ground with the fascists of the GOP MUST be primaried. There is no working with the fascist MAGA party. Period!

I am old enough to remember when we had a President who had a sense of humor ... Makes me appreciate Obama so much more. #NoKings

In just past week: Two Democratic officials were killed in a political assassination, a US Senator was assaulted for asking a Trump regime official a question, Trump deployed the National Guard over a Governor's objections and deployed US Marines into the streets. This is what FASCISM looks like!

A draft dodger is forcing our brave troops to do a masturbtory parade for his birthday because he doesn’t have any real friends. Top notch loser shit.

"We are at war!" I've been saying all week on my radio show. That war was declared by Trump and MAGA upon our freedoms. It is only Democrats who don't get we are at war. Now with the assassinations of two Democrats and shooting of two other Democratic officials I hope people will wake up.

Don’t expect a post denouncing political violence from the guy who ordered a military parade for his birthday. That’s not how dictators roll.

Join us for a special Father's Day edition of "Too Late To Cancel" on Sunday, June 15! Featuring comedians Ariel Elias and Sarah Adelman, along with award-winning podcast host Dominic Lawson, we'll discuss fatherhood, mental health, and more. Tune in live for a show that's truly too good to cancel.

The right justifies mobilizing the Marines against us over a few burnt Waymos and some graffiti. Meanwhile, their people are carrying out political assassinations. It’s time for the Democratic Party leadership to get their heads on straight. The violence is not on our side of the fence.

This is gut-wrenching.

Two people were killed simply for being Democrats. And two others are in surgery fighting for their lives--again shot for being Democrats. MAGA knows we are at war. It's only Democrats who don't get it.

"Scheming demons dressed in kingly guise..." #Rush

Born this day, besides he who will it be named: In 1736, French physicist Charles-Augustin de Coulomb who described the law of electrostatic force (opposites attract, likes repel...) In 1855, Robert LaFollette, Progressive movement founder In 1856, mathematician Nikolai Markov (Markov chain)

Blood on his tiny hands.

Whenever I fear most about democracy slipping into tyranny As I see National Guard troops lining the streets and Constitutional rights being stripped away When I'm at my lowest The American people never fail to inspire me And then I know-they won't win We will No Kings x.com/axidentalibe...

Driving through Texas and I just saw a billboard depicting the evolution of humans from monkeys to humans to Jesus to Trump. Yeah, in that order. But it’s definitely not a cult.

Don’t fall for the “impersonating a cop” narrative so easily. If reporters would stop letting cop press releases be directly dictated into their reporting, we’d be in much better shape. Ask the real questions: Why was there a police vehicle?

This is my kind of leader! #NoKings

UPDATE: Sadly Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband did not make it. Senator John Hoffman and his wife have made it out of surgery

Huge crowd already for the No Kings protest in Atlanta!

Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband have died. Governor Walz @governorwalz.mn.gov “She was a formidable public servant," the governor said of his friend. "She is irreplaceable." Trump has turned America into a hellhole of hatred. Shame on him and his followers.

We will not bow down to a king.

The shooter was dressed as law enforcement. THIS IS WHY YOU DON’T WEAR MASKS AND YOU IDENTIFY YOURSELF AS LAW ENFORCEMENT.

Unredacted local responses to citizens exercising their First Amendment rights…threats of political violence.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident..all men are created equal..they are endowed..with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness..That to secure these rights, Governments..deriv[e]..powers from the consent of the governed" No Kings Westport CT

The far right thinks it’s above the law. They are violating the constitution, arresting and killing their political enemies, and exercising the power of the state as a personal tool of revenge. Make your voice heard today, but please stay safe and aware of your surroundings.

UPDATE: Both Democratic elected offices were killed as a ‘Politically Motivated Assassination.’ If this was MAGA terrorism we need MAGA to be labeled a terrorist group. MAGA attacked our Capitol on Jan 6. MAGA threatens judges and GOPers who defy Trump! www.mediaite.com/media/news/t...

And shooting Democratic lawmakers.

This is MAGAs legacy Minnesota state lawmaker killed in ‘politically-motivated assassination,’ massive manhunt for suspect underway, officials say www.cnn.com/2025/06/14/u...

No Kings Day” protest in West Palm Beach, Florida — miles from Mar-a-Lago!

Two Democratic lawmakers from Minnesota were attacked in their homes this morning. This has to stop. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Nothing says ‘I love America’ like a 2nd Amendment solution when you don’t like someone’s politics.

Showy Lily is living up to its name through sight and fragrance

This news out of Minnesota is absolutely horrifying... Jesus 😔

Well worth it to get totally drenched to the skin at #NoKings with my eldest. Well done, New Jersey. Well done.

Former US Army lawyer Glenn Kirschner on how active-duty troops can properly reject illegal orders from Trump. Glenn who served as a US Army JAG prosecutor explains in my interview how our troops can legally refuse an illegal order from Trump: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/former-us-...

Please look out for each other today and remember, it’s WE the people. No kings. www.nokings.org

Ohhh, it's not a parade, it's a perade. What a maroon.

Live Updates: Man Dressed as Police Officer Kills Minnesota Lawmaker and Her Husband They were Dems. RIP. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

Donald Trump needs to address the nation right now and condemn the Minnesota shootings and all forms of political violence. It’s the bare minimum we should expect from any president.

Upgraded to actual political assassination. This is stochastic terrorism. Trump is responsible.

And yet IT IS about him.

We send our deepest condolences to the families and communities shattered by political violence in Minnesota. We condemn this violence—loudly, clearly, and without exception.

I was ecstatic weeks ago when 4 prominent partners of Paul Weiss fled from their cowardly employer to form their own firm. And I was gleeful when yesterday, 7 partners at the yellow-bellied firm of Willkie Farr & Gallagher departed to join a firm that bravely challenged Trump in court.

Chicken Little sends the troops and hides behind yet another fence.

While many religious leaders are urging people to join peaceful "No Kings" protests today, Trump's religious-right backers are smearing the pro-democracy events as un-American. www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwat...

NO KINGS Protest plans… My daughter’s home from college after her first year, and we’re marching for democracy together at the No Kings rally later today. These are our signs (front/back). Please drop photos of your signs or your favorites in the replies all day. Stay safe out there. 🙏🏽

Worth noting that when Terry Moran asked Donald what the Declaration meant to him, the president said it's a "declaration" (duh) of "love and unity" (wrong). The document hangs on the wall of the Oval Office and he clearly never bothered to have it read aloud to him.

Here is the full press conference on the shooting of Melissa Hortman and John Hoffman, where Governor Walz confirms that both Hortman and her husband were killed. The suspect is still at large on foot. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RL1j...

More wisdom from my friend Trygve.

#nokings #badbitchesok

Two Minnesota State lawmakers and their spouses were targeted and shot by someone impersonating a police officer Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman and Sen. John Hoffman, as well as their spouses, were shot.  Melissa and her husband have died 😞🙏🏼

When law enforcement and political leadership sanctions violence, it's a green light for every gun-hoarding crackpot.

"We outnumber the oligarchs and they can be overwhelmed." - AOC #ResistTrump

Lesson 7 — Hope is a Choice and so is Extremism. Extremism says, “You can’t.” Hope says, “We still can.” Extremism demands purity. Hope invites complexity. Extremism justifies cruelty. Hope insists on humanity. You don’t get to pick both. You never could. open.substack.com/pub/trygveol...

"Trying to enter" suggests he was barging in. Good lord who's writing this dreck?? Unpaid interns? AI?

There’s nothing more Trump than misspelling ‘perade’ on your 79th birhday. Here’s to nearly 8 decades of being a complete dumbass. HBD.

“I did not text parade plans,” a defiant Hegseth said.

BREAKING: Minnesota Governor Tim Walz confirms that both Melissa Hortman and her husband were shot an killed early this morning in a "politically motivated" attack. John Hoffman and his wife are both out of surgery and doctors remain optimistically hopeful for their recovery.

A manhunt is now underway in Minnesota for the targeting and politically motivated shootings of two Minnesota Democrats: State Rep Melissa Hortman and Senator John Hofmann and his wife. The shooter claimed to be law-enforcement. Shocking, disgusting, infuriating and frightening.

My god. This is on the for-profit MAGA entertainment complex and the petty tyrant who commands it.

This is Trump’s America. Minnesota Dems State Senator John Hoffman, his wife, and State Representative Melissa Hortman have been shot by an individual posing as a law enforcement officer. Gov. Walz has said the shootings were targeted. How long before other Dems and immigrants start to get shot?

Drag Kings are probably like, “yo, wtf?” today.

It's the least I can do.

I'm shocked, I say! SHOCKED!

BREAKING: Minnesota: Governor Tim Walz starts the press conference by confirming that BOTH Melissa Hortman and her husband were shot and killed this morning.

Happy President Obama and President Biden appreciation day. 💙🇺🇸

We now have confirmation that both Melissa Hortman and John Hoffman's spouses have been shot. Manhunt for the shooter is still underway.

Did we invent a Time Machine to bring back the same armed men who hunted Jews in Germany? Because that is EXACTLY what this looks like.

THE ARMY PERADE IS BEING CELEBRATED WITH LIGHTNING FLOODING AND CHAOS - SO BASICALLY JUST LIKE HIS ADMINISTRATION.

I grew up right across the river from Lambertville and when I tell you 1000 in this small town is CRAZY turnout, I mean it.

Local St. Paul News affiliate: "Melissa Hortman is literally the number one Democrat in the [state] House, had her hand in every bill in the special session [and] she's widely respected by both parties... 1/

The Army Perade is being celebrated with lightning, flooding, and chaos - so basically just like his administration.

Today we celebrate Flag Day and the 250th anniversary of the United States Army. Our flag doesn’t belong to one man. It stands for freedom, for service, for democracy—for all of us. For 250 years, American soldiers have answered the call with courage. We honor them. Stay peaceful.

Saturday look Tulip

MN Sen. John Hoffman and Rep. Melissa Hortman, as well as their spouses, were shot by a man impersonating a police officer. No more masks for law enforcement, ICE, anyone. We need to see faces, badges, and judicial warrants EVERY TIME No more unmarked vehicles. www.fox9.com/news/melissa...

Absolutely pouring rain, but New Jersey is OUT for #NoKings. @indivisible.org @njindivisible.bsky.social

Joe Rogan goes woke!!! Welcome to the team.

Two Democratic state legislators and their spouses in Minnesota have been shot by a white man impersonating a police officer. www.fox9.com/news/melissa...

Trump says a rainy day pErade brings good luck — deletes his misspelled post and reposts — even tho MAGA can’t spell parade

Donald Trump is not king. We have no kings in America. Millions of Americans are ready to make their voices heard today.

Today is National Obama Appreciation Day! Remember to share on all your social media accounts, pics of our amazing former president all fucking day long

Awaiting a press conference now in Minnesota with Governor Walz on the shooting of two state elected officials in their homes. Both Melissa Hortman and John Hoffman are said to be in "grave" condition. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RL1j...

This was an assassination attempt on two Democratic officials and their spouses. MSM calling it a “targeted shooting” is woefully undermining the story. Especially considering the hoops they jumped through for that 🟠 ear thingie.

Horrified by the news that two legislators and their spouses were shot in Minnesota. My thoughts are with the victims, their families, and the people of Minnesota. Violence is never the answer.

$45 million for a military parade? Imagine that cash fueling mental health clinics instead. Tanks roll while minds crumble—yet healing could outshine Trump’s ego parade. Prioritizing smiles over steel is the real victory march. #3E
