Just a little perspective here...
The #NoKings protest brought out more people than the population of Pennsylvania, the 5th most populated state.
That's MORE than N. Dakota, S. Dakota, Delaware, Rhode Island, Montana, Maine, New Hampshire, Hawaii, W. Virginia, Alaska, Vermont, & Wyoming COMBINED!
Post from Alt National Park Service saying " We're honored to announce a final count of 13.14 million in attendance across 2,300+ No Kings protests nationwide. It took a little longer to finalize due to the sheer scale, but the turnout was historic! So far, 71 MAGA agitators have been arrested, with 62 additional investigations still underway. We're actively reviewing online threats and working on escalating where needed. If you see something, say something.

Who knew there were so many different types of kettles? this image describes just one of the many definitions!
image with 4 cells describing how to spot a police kettle. First describes how it is when the police surround a march on all sides. 2nd says they may hold people in place for hours. 3rd says they may arrest everyone (look for a police transport). 4th says if you see one to turn around and go back the way you came.

The need to take away from someone else's joy and celebration is unhinged.

Pride is about celebrating the history and contributions of LGBTQ+ people, remembering those who have been lost, and advocating to help make their lives better. Celebrating Pride neither hurts nor takes away anything... 1/?
Image from fathernathan tweet saying "The conservatives want to cancel Pride and replace it with military appreciation month. So, I'd like to begin this Pride Month by thanking all of the military personnel who had to suffer under Don't Ask/Don't Tell, who were dishonorably discharged for love, and the trans soldiers who are being tossed aside by this current administration. Thank you for your service. Oh, did y'all mean something else by military appreciation? Happy Pride (rainbow emoji)
