Over 250 Photos From Around the Nation and the World From the Historic β€œNo 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.

(🧡) I’ve neverβ€”in 30 years in journalismβ€”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).

This Is the Way a World Order Ends Americans once associated spheres of influence with a cynical, volatile European past. Now Washington is resurrecting them.

1/ Margaret MacMillan writes, "As a historian, I study those moments in the past when an old order decays beyond the point of return & a new one emerges, but I never expected to live through one. I should have. . .

"Imperialism, which never really disappeared, is back."

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Well, Donald, in just three months, you’ve turned your nation into a spectacle of disgrace.

You think Canada is the nastiest country you’ve ever dealt with, yet you kiss up to Vladimir Putin, a war criminal...

Our film #UNFIT (2020) helped shine a light on several key terms (like Malignant Narcissism) and tactics (like Gaslighting).

Here's a short excerpt from #UNFIT about Gaslighting - which is something we now see from the Right ... all day, every single goddam day.

Remember - this was from 2020:

just taking tonight to really appreciate all these years of journalistic tut-tut-tutting about how over-the-top it was for anyone to focus on trump's affinity for russia and putin.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II.

Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

I can't think of a faster way to undermine the country than simultaneously firing government workers, cutting scientific research, rolling back protections on public health & environment, & cutting essential services. It's like the US was defeated in war and is being occupied by a hostile enemy.

Vance Gets Creepy About Immigrants, Again Last time he spun a yarn about Haitians eating people’s pets, this time he’s mocking Ukrainian Americans who oppose Putin’s war.

As the granddaughter of four Ukrainian refugees who came to the U.S. between 1896-1909 so they could SURVIVE, I'm beyond disgusted by JD Vance's words. This country has prospered on the backs of immigrants and we must not let him forget it.

Don’t Blame Zelensky The Ukrainian president isn’t the problem.

The NYT article blaming Zelensky for annoying Trump was wrongheaded and I thought it needed a response.
