I am so proud of the nearly 7 million No Kings protesters who filled the streets across America to protest Trump.
And video of the No Kings protests around the globe was amazing to watch. 💙

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment.
Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors.
Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

IMPORTANT SAFETY TIP FOR NO KINGS!
We’re seeing viral posts urging people to sit down/stay silent if violence emerges.
PLEASE DO NOT DO THAT.
In certain circumstances with activists highly trained in civil disobedience this *can* be effective.
At a mass protest, it is a recipe for disaster.

MikeyJohnson calls it a “hate America rally.” Wrong.
#NoKings Day is millions of us showing up because we love this country enough to fight for it.
We’re done bowing to billionaires and wannabe kings.
This is what democracy looks like: loud, proud, and unafraid.
