Wow so you’re telling me everyone who cheered on the Iraq war is on board with this now too? And so are the people who opposed the Iran nuclear deal and killed it?

You’re kidding.

The No Kings! Movement Trumped Trump On a day that the president spent millions of tax dollars to celebrate his ego, millions of Americans protested his flailing rule.

The No Kings! Movement Trumped Trump!

His attempt to write the national narrative was countered by:

β€” 2,100 parades, marches and rallies

β€” more than 5 million Americans in the streets

β€” multiracial, multiethnic, urban, rural patriots declaring:

No thrones!

No crowns!

No kings!

No oligarchs!

For Father's Day I gave my dad a copy of The Hobbit translated into Latin.

Just in case you were curious about the particular strain of nerdery in my blood.

Trying to decide my new favorite chant.

1. No ICE. No hate. No fascist USA.

2. No hate. No fear. Immigrants are welcome here.

3. No kings. No crowns. We won't back down.

Also heard:

4. Say it once. Say it twice. We will not give up our rights.

We won’t amplify it, but the president posting that Dems are β€œsick of mind” and β€œhate our country” immediately after 2 Dem lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes is the opposite of leadership. Gas on the fire.

Reports are flooding in from our coalition members, and the stories are incredible. Tell us about your protest today, we want to hear it all.

June 5, 1989. A lone man blocks the path of 13 tanks in Tiananmen Square with his body.

The day before, Chinese govt had violently cleared protestors after a 6 wk standoff.

Nobody knows what happened to Tank Man, but his act of courage became one of the most iconic images of the 20th century. ✊🏽

Blocking a peaceful assembly like this sends a clear message: their voices, and their service, don’t matter. But they do. We see them. And we stand with them. See you all out there today.

That decision irritated some participants, who peacefully breached the barricade and sat down anyway. It’s not just disrespectful, it’s insulting.

Last night, Capitol Police arrested roughly 60 veterans and their family members outside the U.S. Capitol. The group had gathered to hold a peaceful sit-in on the Capitol steps, but police intentionally set up a barrier of bike racks to prevent them from demonstrating.

Especially if you're on the fence about it, protest today. Fascism is isolating and lonely. Its very goal is to make you feel like you're the only person unwilling to accept a cult of personality. On days like today you fully realize there are more of us than there are them. You will feel better.

Facts
- The suspect remains at large.
- He was wearing body armor and pretending to be a cop.
- The attacks appear targeted and premeditated.
- No motive has been confirmed, but both victims are Democratic lawmakers.
- The state is now on high alert.
