(around an image of the No Kings logo) IT’S OFFICIAL

Nearly 7 million people have attended today's peaceful protests, which makes No Kings Day the biggest single-day protest against tyranny in American history!

With more than 2,700 lawful and peaceful protests across all 50 states, No Kings Day was 14 times larger than both of Trump's presidential inaugurations (combined).

After a week of ridiculous Republican smears and Trump claiming that “very few people are going to be there,” you just made history. #NoKings

If you don’t like immigrants, then by all means, NEVER use those pesky little life saving devices they made! Seriously, otherwise… you are a communist if you do, just throwing your beliefs back at you….

Recently, my book THEY CALLED US ENEMY was banned – again – in Tennessee. Book bans are out of control. Huge parts of American history are being restricted. To join me in standing up for the freedom to read, go to pen.org/action. @penamerica.bsky.social @topshelfcomix.bsky.social @idwpublishing.com

a tiny white fluffy pomeranian is belly-up in a person’s lap. she looks a little nervous, and her front paws are being held in the person’s hands. all four paws have the teensiest little black toe beans, each one small and perfect. she’s got nothing to worry about.

This is Miso. She is reporting for her weekly paw inspection. All toe beans are accounted for and are as teeny tiny as ever. Inspection passed with flying colors. 12/10 (IG: lifewith_miso)

Mandate that ICE agents show their face and identification! ICE agents—without identification—are detaining people in plain clothes and wearing masks—stoking widespread fear, confusion, and distrust. This is not normal. And it’s not only cowardly, it’s dangero...

Just signed this "How TF is this not *already* the law?!" petition. Cowardly cosplaying kidnappers, man. Get in there while we still can: sign.moveon.org/petitions/un...

I could almost see the side street I struggled my way down! This was so massive that I could hear the crowd the second I emerged from the subway avenue blocks away, and that after a half-hour I STILL hadn't made it to Fifth Avenue, so thick was the chanting crowd on 40th. #NoKings

Today I asked protesters in New York City: "What are you worried America is turning into?" Their answers were poignant, and defiant. Watch the video I took (edited by masterful @peter-berger.bsky.social).

Here is a convenient link to RSVP to TACO'S military parade... with no intention of actually showing up. It's also, conveniently, really easy to fill out and very fast to process. You're welcome.
