I’m Kat Abughazaleh and I approve this message.
So proud to be a part of this amazing morning. Location ocean beach San Francisco #nokings
Philly showin' up today
Chicago ✊
Today in Boston. Over a million people turned out. Even the drone couldn't get it all. #NoKingsDay #BostonStrong #ICEProtest
You can’t see me bc I’m holding a flag but guys I live in a 2k person extremely rural town in one of the reddest counties of WI. So many people showed up there was a line all the way to the highway. I often feel a bit afraid due to my identity in this area but #nokings brought out so many
Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.
i'm surprised by how low energy and farcical that whole military parade situation was. I was expecting Moscow 1945 and we got Spirit Halloween instead.
The most consequential Speaker in state history.
just watched this netflix documentary on the oklahoma city bombing and once again i'm struck by how so many of the popular media takes on this event just avoid entirely the connection to organized white supremacism
Minnesota’s flags will fly at half staff in honor and remembrance of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman. She woke up every morning determined to make Minnesota a better place, and she will be greatly missed.
Honestly I still can’t stop laughing 😂😅🤣
Couple things I learned today: - Seniors are extremely fired up about this - "Fuck ICE" is a normie position now - People are MASSIVELY pissed off about Sen. Padilla being wrestled to the ground in LA - We all we got, we all we need
Just want to take a moment to shout out the international reporters helping us get the real story out. When an 80-year-old veteran with a walker is hauled off with his hands zip-tied behind his back, and the media spins it as a “threatening breach” of a police barricade
Whoa! Hats off to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for keeping his cool yesterday. This LAPD officer needs to be relieved of duty if he can’t handle an alleged “touch” without snapping.
What if he threw a $45 million parade and nobody came? Boring. Low energy. Sad!
Best image of the day:
11 MILLION PEOPLE!! 💥💥💥 Are we nearing the magic 3.5%?? Never forget….WE hold the power. #nokings
The revolution is full of 60-year-old women who love their trans kids.
#Nokings San Diego
More than 1 million in Boston! www.wcvb.com/article/more...
#NoKings New York
My favorite #Wisconsin #NoKings sign/flag from today. #wipolitics
the story today is of a profoundly low energy military parade being met with millions of americans in nationwide protests denouncing the dictatorial pretensions of the president
Padilla on Noem: "How does the cabinet secretary not know the senator from California when she steps foot into Los Angeles? She came through the Senate for confirmation."
That army parade was straight outta Spinal Tap.
Yesssssss… I love this 🙌🏼
MSNBC reporter in gas mask in Los Angeles: I think it was Sheriffs deploying CS gas, tear gas, pepper spray, and flash bang grenades in large numbers. Mounted units pushing against protesters.., every single gathering I saw today was 100% peaceful
The blue dot of Louisville Kentucky
Before the cops in LA started escalating things for no reason it was funny how my main takeaway was how much people were looking out for each other in really helpful ways. I’ve never seen so many people with carts giving away free water, sunscreen, snacks, and masks to total strangers.
Sen. Amy Klobuchar dined with Melissa Hortman, a Minnesota lawmaker and decades-long friend, just hours before she and her husband were shot and killed in what authorities are saying was a politically motivated killing. “I wish everyone had known her like we knew her,” Klobuchar told POLITICO.
Wait. That military parade is supposed to make other countries fear and respect us more?
Thank you to my son and his day care for this terrifying Father’s Day gift.
A dazzling ocean of tulips stretching endlessly in Hokkaido, Japan...
I promise y’all: marching in step is quite easy. Nothing difficult about it. That bad marching was intentional. I guarantee it.

We, the people, have spoken!
Ben Shapiro getting all upset at the parade coverage as though he isn't used to taking part in activities where no one comes
“If ICE is going to wear a mask in their uniform, then I can.” In August, Nassau County lawmakers passed a bill banning the public from wearing masks. Protesters showed up today masked anyway. We asked them why.
Schrödinger's parade - the crowd was both sparse and dense.
“No Kings Day”: A compilation
It's pretty obvious that a lot of US mainstream media either doesn't recognise authoritarianism or doesn't want to call it out. Either way, it's an excellent way to destroy trust in your institution.
AOC during Zohran for Mayor rally: "There are people out there who say, 'If you go out and make this endorsement, your political career will be over.' And to that I say: I don't care. We will never get to a better place if everyone is just worried about themselves. If it's over, so be it."
Good morning. Jimmi Pickles has dark toe beans on her black paw and light toe beans on her orange paw. (She is purring in this pic)
This is serious, rigorous analysis and it should change the way the media has been covering these protests. These were, in the aggregate, *massive.*
I just got back home to finally sit down and watch the parade footage and it’s 100x more embarrassing than I expected. I totally forgot the weak nations that do these spend decades perfecting them. It looked like if Fyre festival did North Korea.

It was the honor of a lifetime to speak at the historic San Diego #NoKings march today. Here are two short clips, with my gratitude. 1 of 2:
Your Dad, waiting for you all to get in the damn car. #FathersDay
Hi everyone I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA over the last 48 hours because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests I arrived back in Melbourne hours ago and had my phone handed back to me upon landing
He threw his own birthday party, spent millions and millions of the American people’s money, and they still didn’t come.
Honestly, I can’t believe they got Melania to come.
We should've made a bigger national crisis of someone breaking into Nancy Pelosi's home & trying to kill her husband. But then, we should've made a bigger national crisis about hundreds of someones breaking into the Capitol & trying to steal an election. But then, we should've done lots of things.
The radicalization of the American right is THE story of US politics over the last four decades and political reporters are still not allowed to talk about it
Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop! Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels
Karen Bass: "There is no comparison [with the 1992 riots]. And unfortunately that is what is being pushed, as though the city is in chaos, there's civil unrest everywhere. For most Angelenos, they're like, 'What city are they describing?' They are definitely not describing Los Angeles."
The Hortman family helped raise and train dogs to partner with veterans. One of the many reasons we will miss Melissa and Mark.
Proud to have been in this crowd estimated at 70000. This is Cal Anderson Park in Seattle. During my hours there I never saw a police presence. Right on!
Mike Pence: "The president was wrong to pardon people who assaulted police officers on January 6...Anyone who would ever use violence, whether it be against law enforcement of political violence, must be condemned universally."
"Peace & prosperity" update: We regret to inform you…
I am shaking and crying. This is not the Minnesota you and I grew up in and love. And this is not the country that we grew up in and love. We are in a dark, dark time.

I’m sure Trump will tweet about how awesome the parade was since it clearly wasn’t and he is a gaslighter
The No Kings protest was massive! Historic turnout across the country. Shoutout to all the cities and towns that showed up in force:
I thought I was losing my mind when this happened because it was an attempted assassination of a national political leader and it was treated like it was nothing.
🇺🇸🇺🇸
The dragging😂😂😂
Where's my chicken?
Dodgers utilityman Kiké Hernández took to Instagram on Saturday to express his support for immigrants and decry the recent militarized raids in the city by the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Compare and contrast scenes from yesterday in America. On the one hand, Trump's low-energy Dear Leader parade (that cost you $45 million). On the other, millions of people across the country gathering peacefully to say: Here, we have no kings.
For the absolute last time: I *never* said I thought E.T. dressed in the wig and the dress was sexy, I said *I could see why people would think that*
ICE raiding a crowded supermarket in Rosemead, California with no identification, indistinguishable from cartel hitmen, pulling high caliber rifles on unarmed US citizens trying to ask questions about wtf is going on. #3E #StopICE
THREAD: The assassinations in Minnesota highlight a dirty secret hardly ever mentioned in the news: U.S. has 1.1 million private police officers. There is an unprecedented footprint of privately organized violence that is doing all sorts of things most people have no idea about.
Free speech for me, a felony for thee.
I am wondering why Lisa Leher from the @nytimes.com did not discuss the data that suggests political violence in the US in the current era mostly comes from the right. Seems like a strange fact to ignore. 1/ www.nytimes.com/2025/06/14/u...
A real “threatening breach” was January 6. Letting that veteran sit down would’ve been the respectful thing to do. He served this country letting him sit peacefully should be the bare minimum.
I would love to see a 50-state campaign to pass free school lunch and anti-gun measures in tribute.
you know the USA propaganda machine is in overdrive. The barricade? Just bike racks, deliberately set up to stop veterans from holding a peaceful sit-in on the Capitol steps.
😬
So, Trump spent $45 mil for that?
Vance Boelter was an anti-transgender Christian Nationalist who delivered anti-queer sermons in the DRC, in case anyone was confused as to his political slant.
He can always easily do great deals that never seem to happen. Maybe in two weeks.
🤣🤣
The parade didn’t matter. That’s it.
Are the two people who drove their cars into people yesterday and the person who shot at people in Utah all white men? The person who murdered Democratic politicians yesterday was. Are we allowed to connect the dots? Will be media write exposes asking why white men are so violent? Or no?
Poor Taco. The world showed up for #NoKings, but no one came to his small-in-the-pants “perade”.
2 Months ago Chance came into my life after being stabbed twice in the stomach. Today she had her first ever beach day and ice cream!
👇👇
the cartoon sqheeky wheels. the half empty bleachers. no marching music. this is so pathetic and SAD LMAOOO
The Trumpists talk a lot about representing “real America.” How much of a bizarre propagandistic lie this is was on full display yesterday - when a vast, heterogeneous coalition of people mobilized in protest while all the regime offered was an embarrassing, lame, sad excuse of a military parade.
