And this is why we should still have the option of having paper tickets. Always.

At least you got one. I didn’t get any. That was one of the hardest one I think I’ve ever done. 😜

This ought to be common sense. We should all be more critically minded.

To everyone adding alt-text to your posts so #NoKings signs and pics can be #Accessible to all, thanks on behalf of the #Blind community. Even a little thing like that is an act of love and resistance. And I'm personally loving all the descriptions of random costumed protesters. Bravo!

HOW DO you EXCUSE THIS?
YouTube video by PoliticsGirl HOW DO you EXCUSE THIS?

Between JDβ€˜s No Kings tweet and Trump posting a video of himself dumping a payload of s*^t on America protesters, you can see why β€œyoung” Republicans talk the way they do…

What I don’t understand is how anyone finds it acceptable.

Some idiot in Wisconsin is trying to diss the older folks who were protesting by mocking the nickname "grantifa" -- one I wear proudly. If he thinks that's an insult, he's dumber than I thought. Grandmas will always oppose fascism.

Sometimes you just need to march and chant and yell in solidarity with several thousand people who are just as angry and defiant as you are until your reservoir of hope is refilled #NoKings

Courage is more exhilarating than fear, and in the long run, it is easier.
We do not have to become heroes overnight. Just a step at a time, meeting each thing that comes up, seeing it is not as dreadful as it appeared, discovering we have the strength to stare it down.

There was an incredible turnout across small-town USA! Many events weren’t even on our radar. Our coalition initially tracked around 3,000 events, but the number has now surged past 4,000 and counting.

Absolutely. I was so emotional. It was so wonderful to see so many people out today. I think that’s why I felt so emotional. I’m not alone in any way shape or form. This was in Holland MI.
