No Thrones. No Crowns. NO KINGS.

Today, in big cities and small towns alike, millions of nonviolent protestors will take to the streets to remind Donald Trump and his authoritarian regime who holds the power: THE PEOPLE.

This is part of what the appeals court wrote in their decision not to rescind the lower court's order against trump deploying troops.
So he's taking it to the supreme court.

There is zero ambiguity here: Political opposition is not rebellion.
We'll see how fucked we are when they rule on that.
"Political opposition is not rebellion. A protest does not become a rebellion merely because the protestors advocate for myriad legal or policy changes, are well organized (or) call for significant changes to the structure of the U.S. government."
NEW: An appeals court on Thursday upheld a federal judge’s order temporarily blocking the Trump administration from sending 500 National Guard troops into Chicago. @wttw.bsky.social

Neshama is a volunteer with No Kings. She’s passing out free American flags purchased by the organizers (though many protesters clearly came with their own). “I’m trying to protect democracy in this country,” she told me.

THIS IS WHY WE MARCH…

Authoritarianism doesn’t arrive overnight, it creeps in while we stay silent.

The window to use our voice is closing.

For more context on the GOP's demonization of #NoKings organizers, check out @timothypmurphy.bsky.social's excellent piece from yesterday:
They’re teachers, nurses, Mennonites, and Marines. The Trump administration calls them antifa.
The No King protests represent a broad popular front. That's exactly why the president's allies are demonizing the organizers.

Trump’s people are calling this a hate rally. Here’s a live shot from the hate rally.

Organizers say more than 10,000 people have turned out for the No Kings rally at the Atlanta Civic Center in Georgia. The actual number could be closer to 12,000, says Laura Judge with Indivisible North Metro, which is one of the event's organizers. (Photo by @alander.bsky.social)

“Conversion therapy” is pseudoscience. Period.

The Supreme Court must uphold the constitutionality of these legal restrictions and stand strongly between our children and these abusive practices.

It’s been one week since Republicans shut down the government.

And they won’t even show up to work.

Democrats are in D.C., ready to negotiate on a budget that protects your health care and lowers your costs.
