We dance at night. 🙌🏻
And we protest in the morning. ✊🏻

Tacoma showed up today with joy and kindness and solidarity to say that we will not accept fascism in our city, or in our country. No Kings!

Bless T-town for having a drag queen emcee at today’s protest. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 and how cool that our (wonderful) former governor showed up in Grit City, too!

I managed to go to one of the smaller (turned out to be not that small) #NoKings protests in a small town in Texas. I wasn't sure if I would be brave enough to go, so I didn't make a sign, but I did carry a US flag. And so did a LOT of other people.

It wasn't nearly as scary as I thought it would be. I was still a bit nervous. (I REALLY don't like crowds.) But I found a spot near the end that wasn't too crowded. It was actually fun. I'm so glad I went.

The #NoKings crowd in Fort Worth was probably twice as big as the Hand's Off protest from April. I'd say several thousand. I have no good shots of the crowd in the park or all the honking cars. But it was a festive and peaceful event.

Amazing turnout in Culver City for the No Kings protest. So glad to have been there with a couple thousand other folks…it was five times the size of prior protests

Love the idea of a double Appreciation Day for Obama & Biden - they were, after all, a great team and 2 of the best Presidents of my long lifetime.

Happy Obama & Biden Appreciation Day!

Flag is back up after its trip to the Capitol #nokings rally. Crowd size has definitely increased and seeing more diversity!

This is outside my local shopping center in the DC suburbs. There was one cop who kept doing laps past us in his cruiser and waving to us every time

Not quite as impressive as all the big city photos for #NoKings, but here are a couple from one of your Taos, NM correspondents.

I should note, that we estimated that the average age of the protesters was likely in the 70s. The termperature was in the upper 80s, so hot for Taos. #Respect

These are from Civic Plaza Dr and Paseo del Pueblo Norte across from Kit Carson Park. Paseo wasn't closed to traffic.

With the sad news of today, I headed out to the #NoKings rally in Minnetonka, Minnesota at Hwy 7 and 101. Near 2500 people showed up!

Explosions were heard in the city of Khorramabad in Lorestan Province, likely the result of a new ’Israeli’ attack on the Imam Ali military base. english.alahednews.news/fastne…


Outside the US Embassy in London today - the "No Tyrants" (rather than #NoKings) protest. About 500 gathered to say no to Trump and his policies. Clowns because (would-be) authoritarians hate to be mocked. (Strategic humor has brought down regimes...)

Look at this 🐂💩. I know Trumpians see it as “inspirational” to me it looks like he smeared his lipstick. #nokings

I’ve been reading “The Friendship Bench: How Fourteen Grandmothers Inspired a Mental Health Revolution”by Dixon Chibanda MD this weekend and learning how her idea for Friendship Benches that she started in Zimbabwe have now helped half a million people and counting get mental health help worldwide.

If you like nonfiction about mental health, you might like this book.
