A disturbing photo of ex-human Charlie Kirk with the caption "Remember Charlie Kirk: Because no one else will"

this paragraph in particular really held up
Screenshot from article: "In the capstone of his career, Blinken doggedly pursued for over 15 months a deal to end the Israel-Hamas war. Alternately defending Israel (and enabling it to decimate Hezbollah and render Iran the weakest it has been in decades) and pressuring it to increase humanitarian aid, spare civilian suffering, and end the war, Blinken finally hammered out a deal in the final week in office. The step-son of a Holocaust survivor, Blinken often spoke to the horror Israelis experienced on Oct. 7. But he refused to be blinded to the suffering of Palestinians. In a region infamous for all-or-nothing visions, Blinken believed both Israelis and Palestinians must coexist. Without the unflagging devotion, unbelievable patience, and technical skill that Blinken (as well as McGurk and Burns) brought to the challenge, we would not now be awaiting the return of hostages."

We're marching here in front of Whole Foods, to protest Amazon's involvement with ICE. #FreeDC #NoKings

Here's the front of the march. There's at least 500 people behind them. #FreeDC #NoKings

And we're on the march! Hundreds of protesters are marching down the street (whose streets? our streets!) #FreeDC #NoKings

Worth listening to in full. Immigrant workers, like those in the SEIU, are the backbone upon which all of our economy depends. #FreeDC #NoKings

Hi Bluesky! I'm here (again! for the second time this month) at Dupont Circle in D.C. for a rally against the Trump administration. Follow along for updates! #FreeDC #NoKings

Hank what is wrong with the orange one

Here's where the march ends, but this movement is far from over. The organizers are planning to come back in November, with enough people to line the streets all the way around the White House. D.C. is nowhere near done fighting yet. #FreeDC #NoKings
One of the protest organizers, wearing an orange shirt with the words 'Trump Must Go Now,' holds her fist in the air while shouting into a microphone, in front of a banner, several signs, and the White House fence, with the White House itself in the background.

Here's the crowd that gathered in front of the White House, making enough noise for everyone inside to hear us. Warning: this clip is loud. #FreeDC #NoKings

Here are a handful of the signs held up in front of the White House by protesters. #FreeDC #NoKings
A protester holds a black printed sign with white text that reads, 'NO! In the Name of Humanity We REFUSE to Accept a Fascist America' A protester holds a green sign with black block text that reads 'All This to Protect Pedophiles.' A hand-drawn yucky face is in the corner. A protester holds a handwritten sign that reads, 'Hands Off D.C.' in black block letters on a white background. A protester holds a handmade sign that reads 'Cheeto Mussolini.' The first word is in orange text and the second word is in blue. The sign is white and attached to a piece of cardboard.

We circled around to the rear of the White House, which is much more approachable. Here we stopped, a mere 100 feet away. #FreeDC #NoKings

Here are some more fantastic protest signs! #FreeDC #NoKings
A black woman in sunglasses, a camo jacket, and combat boots holds a large handwritten sign that reads 'Fuck Trump!' A hand holds up a handwritten sign that reads 'We are Safer Without ICE.' The word 'safer' has blue hearts and peace signs drawn around it, the word 'without' is underlined and highlighted, and the word 'ICE' has a 'no' symbol drawn through it. A printed sign reads 'We fought a king in 1775' next to a picture of George III, 'We fought a dictator in 1945' next to a picture of Adolf Hitler, and 'We will fight whatever the hell THIS is in 2025' next to a photo of Donald Trump with a messed up spraytan that only covers part of his face, making him look ridiculous. A handwritten sign reads 'Fuck Trump Fuck ICE' and below that, 'Patriots are Pro-Immigrant.' In the corner is the word 'MAGA' with a 'no' symbol drawn through it.
