If you see a MAGA event with American flags just keep asking them “is this part of No Kings?”

Great way to spread awareness as well!

Please have 17 seconds of kitty purring. She’s soooo much friendlier today.

I have started dating a man who is very nice but does not share my politics. Any advice? "You just have to get the fuck out of there. What are you thinking? He must be incredibly attractive-looking. I mean, what is it? Is he tall? Does he remind you of your father? There's only two kinds of politics these days, and you can't breathe the same air as the other kind."

Well I was not expecting BILL NIGHY to be spitting facts today!

This is the energy budget of the AI bubble: a nuclear war every year, *just in the USA alone*—everyone else is *also* going all in on this self-destructive bullshit.

(Meanwhile, if you want a non-LLM chatbot, they've existed since the 1960s and can probably run on a smartwatch.)

When Sam Altman talks about a 1GW AI data centre:

1GW over a month, released instantly, would be an 850 kiloton explosion.

A 1GW AI data centre uses as much energy as detonating ten 1-megaton H-bombs a year.

The N.F.L. to Nursing Pipeline

“Although there aren’t available statistics on how many N.F.L. players have made nursing their second career, The Times spoke to five current and former athletes about their decision. Some are still playing and plan to pursue nursing when they leave… while others made the shift after retirement.”

So cute! The cake looks great!

The Obama Hope poster, but it's a frog and it says "Hop"

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

Been seeing some accusations of DnD going 'woke'.

DnD...

The game YOU imagine into being...

The game where the entire draw for most people is that YOU decide what happens...

I'm starting to believe that the biggest issue with right wing reactionaries is a terminal lack of imagination.

The world joined us and said, “No Kings.”

#NoKings event in Fairhope, Al.
A woman was arrested for "lewd conduct" because she was dressed in penis suit with a sign that said "No dick-tator"
3 cops on a 53 yo woman.

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

I was checking out Milwaukee Public Market and I stumbled upon this guy’s shirt!

“To the person behind me, whoever you are, whatever your story is, you are enough. Remember that.”

My favorite sign at the Montclair NJ No Kings today:

Y’all here is a fun fact: Portland has a brand new volunteer organization called “operation inflation” that allows people to borrow inflatable costumes for protests. They just started a couple weeks ago and have like a 160 costume library (and counting because people keep donating).

A beautiful Bald Eagle circled overhead during our protest in Burnsville Minnesota and the crowd went wild

What did you do for a Klondike bar?
WHAT DID YOU DO?!

Call me old fashioned but I miss the days when we would all be shocked if a President posted a video of himself flying over protesters and dumping poop on them.

I miss the days when a video like that would have been grounds for instant removal from office.

I miss accountability.

Uhhh just looked at the TV and … was that Alex Wong just now?! The guy who was on SYTYCD?! #SNL

As a kid, multiple times. Loved Clark Gable and
Vivien Leigh in those roles. The story though. 😐

Did you end up watching it?

Finally finished [reading] the book that was way WAY more than 2.5 million words. Probably was a mistake to pick up a slow slice of life novel immediately after. 🫠

Yeah exactly - he was a punk. 😡
(I could probably do it without checking? But like … I wouldn’t be sure. And when you’re working with a fucking car battery imo at least, one should be sure.)

Telling moment: I was walking back from the rally, but a couple miles from it, carrying nothing but my gigantic American flag. An eight year old on his bike sees me with it and yells "No Kings!!" with absolute conviction.

My friends, they have lost the flag.

I've wanted to meet an axolotl all week and I found a DANCING one. Best No Kings birthday present tbh 😭🥹

I would have to watch a yt video to refresh my memory. (I also wouldn’t be a punk if someone offered to do it/jumped my car for me.)

Alt text: A comment from an account called bluesky-helper telling the poster that their account has been suspended and that they need to click a link to avoid being terminated.

Don't click the link.

Slightly off on numbers.
About 100 people, several dogs, and about 60 vehicles.
Not bad for a town of 2500 :)

100 years old. First protest. No kings.

Saw two No Kings protestors in their 90s today plus this centenarian!
