(🧵) I’ve never—in 30 years in journalism—published a report like this: one that could genuinely bring hope. I spent the last 15 hours curating and labeling photos from hundreds of No Kings Day protests. It’s the largest archive of its kind and it has *lots* of Easter eggs (memes, an essay and more).
Over 250 Photos From Around the Nation and the World From the Historic “No Kings Day” Protests
Almost no one showed up to Donald Trump’s surprisingly timid, depressing, and generally lackluster birthday party in Washington, but protests against him were bursting at the seams across the globe.

Having the White House punish a permanent resident with arrest and deportation for his political views is a form of censorship so repugnant to the First Amendment that it truly eclipses the darkest moments of McCarthy. We can’t let this become our new “normal.”

Zuckerberg's MAGA makeover confirms it: The war on "woke" is cover for a war on workers.

It is pathetic how billionaires like Zuckerberg and Musk resent the fleets of middle-class desk workers that made them wealthy.
