Kyiv.
It was such a beautiful scene
that I just stood and watched.

Ukraine truly has a lot to fight for.

Per CNN, the White House has just issued a two-word response to what may be the largest day of protest in US history—and those two words perfectly encapsulate why No Kings Day exists.

The response from would-be King Donald to outrage over his destruction of our traditions and norms is, "Who cares?"

This incredible No Kings protest against Trump is at the US Embassy in London. Having experienced Hitler and the Nazis, Europeans know fascism when they see it. Notice that even in the UK, protesters are humiliating Trump by using the same tactics as protesters in Portland. 👇

A tweet from Shannon Watts says: “Is this you?” quoting a post from Mike Lee that says: “Why Stairs Are A Threat To Humanity,” with a photo of someone tripping while climbing stairs to Air Force One. Below, another tweet from Mike Lee reads: “No decent person — any certainly no conservative person — should mock an 83-year-old’s fall. That was heartbreaking, and the thought of anyone finding it amusing is hard to fathom.”

Your old posts are there forever, Mike.

Huge thanks to our international supporters for standing with us against Trump! We see you, Spain 🇪🇸, England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿, the United Kingdom 🇬🇧, and Germany 🇩🇪!

Thanks for the pic, @dailycaller.bsky.social !

This is a blatant attempt to silence and isolate us. He’s stopping the trains, closing the freeways and firing live rounds into California. We will not be intimidated. We will not be silenced. #NoKings

Wow, lots of American flags and peace . Sure doesn’t seem like people who hate America you absolute embarrassment Speaker Johnson

No Kings rallygoers in Nashville are lining streets and chanting: the crowd is a mix of ages and genders.

Murphy: We are not on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of an authoritarian takeover. But Trump has not won.

Boston. Wow.

Jess Gill @jessgillO3 I've never had curry or a kabab and don't intend to. British food is the best. English breakfasts, Sunday roasts, fish and chips, pies, pasties, scones. Also, our national dish isn't a chicken tikka masala we only think that because a Labour MP said it decades ago to push multiculturalism. 15:31·17 Oct 25-78K Views

The British Right are just in total freefall into savagery at this point

We like curry in the UK because for hundreds of years British people lived in India and brought the dish back to the UK. It is as British as roast beef. The ignorance and closed minds of these knuckle draggers shouldn't be allowed to ruin our collective futures.

The purpose of AI is to eliminate a huge swathe of well paid middle class jobs. The mega rich will get much richer and serfdom awaits for the rest. The oligarchs hate the educated middle classes above all. They are most of the people on the No Kings marches today. Same for anti Brexit marches.

Chief of Ukrainian Defense Intelligence Kyrylo Budanov:

“These [strikes on Russian oil refineries] have had a greater impact than the sanctions did.Through direct action,we’ve inflicted far greater damage on the revenues of the Russia than any economically significant measures introduced so far.⤵️

I want the world
to see Ukraine not only through images of ruins.

I’ve just joined and I’m excited about it!

This panoramic shot doesn’t begin to capture the huge size of the crowd at the #NoKings protest in Orlando. There’s a sea of thousands of people — not just in front of City Hall but also down all the nearby streets!!!

He sees the way the tide is turning and realises he'd best go with it.
