Spotify says it stands for creativity, inclusion & connection — but taking money from ICE betrays those values. You can’t stream freedom while funding fear. #DropICE #NoICEonMyPlaylist

Join us Tuesday!
Let's keep this great momentum going!

The #NoKings Community Festival in #GrandRapids filled the park with energy, music, and hope 💛 Families, friends, and neighbors stood together for democracy—peaceful, joyful, and unstoppable. ✊🇺🇲

We're going to win.

So cool! Love it!

(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

Huge turnout in Muskegon, Michigan for the 11:00 protest! This is just one side of one street! Our next protest is at Heritage Landing at 5:00 today. See you all there! #NOKINGS #Indivisible #Michigan

“Millions of Americans are coming out today not because they hate America. We’re here because we love America.” #NoKings

Really, really great picture from @wzzm13.bsky.social in Grand Rapids, MI
