I really wish these protest signs had clear demands on them rather than comedic slogans.
Also that "if Kamala were president we'd be at brunch" sign encapsulates everything that pisses me off about liberals.
there are clear demands, cholesterol is specifically called out for not doing what it should.
Anyone else tear up or cry a little looking at these or am I just a big squishy baby? I have so many feelings looking at these, inspired, scared, even sometimes amused even if that’s followed immediacy disgust like the hotdog man photo, so many more feelings, feeling pretty proud of us too.
I'm honestly surprised Trump didn't send the military to shoot and kill the protesters
Telling the military to shoot at their own friends and family is a great way to get a military coup
true, but i'm still surprised that he didn't order it.
I love seeing American flags. The pro-democracy crowd needs to take that back from the fascists and nationalists.
Totally in agreement, and I've left comments here before saying that the left needs to do as much. Maga got it in their heads that they're the "true" Americans. The silent majority. They're ignorant, and seeing all those stars and stripes in the crowds I think really drives down that point "No, we are real Americans, and we're fucking fed up". Compare these photos to the Jan 6 photos, which crowd looks like the real Americans?
One interesting thing at my local one in southern California: several people were waving large state flags. Lots of American flags as well, but I thought the state flags were interesting.
Yes - I've been doing this myself for a few years now. The anti-demicracy crowd doesn't deserve the flag or other American paraphernalia.
Yes. It needs to be taken back. I've been thinking things like a large group of protesters saying the pledge of allegiance would be quite impactful as to who's on the other side.
Being arrested at a protest? Yell the pledge. See how they try to spin that.
I hosted a German exchange student in 2006. She, along with the other Germans, were aghast when they saw us all stand for the pledge to the flag in homeroom every morning. They explained that they were (rightly) taught that this kind of behavior is the precursor to horrible, horrible things.
The don’t need to spin anymore. They simply won’t show that footage to their viewers.
There were a lot of them today!

I love that people are protesting, but the whole "no kings" thing? Really missing the fascist forest for the orange tree.
Is Trump a fascist wannabe dictator? Yes.
Is he a tumor who is killing American democracy? Yes.
He's not doing it alone, though, he didn't pop up out of nowhere, and the underlying cancers that made his regime possible won't just magically vanish when he hopefully succumbs to almost 80 years of bad diet and almost no exercise within the next couple of years.
The GOP is a fascist party enabled by an effective disinformation machine creating not just a cult of personality around Trump himself, but also a cult of hate that is as united by hostility towards The Others as much as their adoration of the Mango Mussolini.
Unless the DNC leadership and the protest organizers step up their messaging and starts listening to and representing the ignored third of the country to the Left of Ronald Reagan and the Cheneys, fascism won't go away when the abomination currently infesting the oval office finally croaks.
You can make a little sign with whatever super important issue on it that you like. People did that. People understood that “No Kings” includes all the issues that come with being a king -or dictator.
But the most important thing people did was show the fuck up.
Just like with voting, a protest doesn’t do anything unless people show the fuck up.
And just like with voting, there are loud, persistent voices online that bemoan doing anything at all because it just isn’t perfect enough for them.
And you know what? It will never be perfect enough for those people. The real reason they complain is not about the level of perfection in the “messaging”. It’s that they are lazy shits. Or lazy shills.
I love that people are protesting, but why isn't it perfect and exactly how I want them to do it?
If you went to one of them, you'd see that they're not just focusing on him.
People out here complaining about these protests like it's literally their job. Suspect.

No one is glossing over that.
People need a face for an enemy. Nebulous constructs will not focus anger.
People need to be focused, that's what this does

It’s both human nature and the nature of protest. There’s a set theme or target and you rally around in. Protests aren’t actually places for nuisanced conversations about the specificities of who, what and where the problem is, they are ground swells to inspire, uplift and fight for change, it’s explicitly a “big picture” event, it’s not a discussion forum
Love the creativity on those messages! Wow!
We shall overcomb 🤣
Id look at the photos but good god the website is unusable on mobile.
Really? I had no issues, they were really cool photos too.
Weird. Mine was covered in a moving ad.
Firefox + ublock origin 👌👌
