7M+ Americans protested on No Kings Day. My thoughts were with Melissa & Mark Hortman, assassinated by pro-Trump fascist Vance Boelter on the June 14 No Kings Day
I asked fellow Americans to send their stories of protest—here are the inspiring stories they shared

Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom—and a reminder that the fight isn’t over.
As we honor the emancipation of enslaved Black Americans, we must confront the systems that still uphold racism and injustice.
Liberation is ongoing. And we’re not backing down. 🖤

It was so empowering to attend yesterday's No Kings rally in Bend, Oregon! Was great to see all the people and the signs and hear the speakers motivate us while we peacefully protested. A historical day! Let me know if you went to one!

Educator @michellesingh.bsky.social wanted students to take risks and embrace challenges—but she realized her perfectionist mindset was unintentionally teaching them to fear mistakes and prioritize performance over learning.
