I had the distinctly strange pleasure of making protest signs with my 74-year-old mom today. Here are our signs for the #NoKings march tomorrow.
My mom expressed sorrow that her upcoming international travel will be the first time she's been ashamed to be American. I told her I've always been mildly ashamed of it, and on top of that, I'm ashamed that I've never done anything about it until now.
It's past time to fix this.

About 40,000 people here today for quite a show.
In Ann Arbor, Michigan, there was a massive turnout for the No Kings protest and march. A crush of peaceful protestors. Photos attached..
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.
Huge turnout for #NoKings in our little state of #Connecticut, #USA
Advising #patriots to display American flags at #nokings day of defiance. #uspol #albuquerque #santafe #newmexico #indivisible
This. Is. What. Democracy. Looks. Like. #NoKings
Step in the right direction.
You couldn't pay me enough to watch that pathetic ego-driven spectacle.
I'd rather spend my time productively, like, you know, on #NoKings protests.
Variety:
ABC, CBS, NBC news are unlikely to pre-empt regular TV programming for [Trump's sick-ass, disgusting, fascist parade.]
Well at least the Chicago Tribune captured the real news of the day yesterday. #NoKings #journalism
Great protest at the Utah Capitol. #50501protest #slc #utah #nokings
A photo that I snapped an hour ago of the San Francisco #NoKings protest. I estimate about 150,000 people in total.
Apparently this is what democracy looks like?
I’m attending 3 protests on Saturday. ✊🏻

Showing solidarity with our American Friends at the #nokings demo in Paris. Fittingly at the Place de la Bastille…

BTW still not going to any mass events, even outdoors, for health reasons. so everybody out here who by #disability, like me, or any other reason cannot make it to a #nokings #protest, i see you.
just know there’s a reason foe a vanguardia, guardia and retaguardia.
the vanguard are at the forefront. la guardia spreads the front everywhere. yet, it’s usually the “backguard” ―the last to come in―, the ones who finish the job.
we will find our moments to fight and we will win.
Y'ALL.
I just got home from the #NoKings protest in #OKC.
Early numbers reports and a statement from the rally podium say THIS WAS THE BIGGEST PROTEST IN #OKLAHOMA HISTORY.
It was gorgeous.
We marched for about 1.2 miles to the rallying point outside City Hall. This took about 30 min.
Spouse & I were with 5 friends (3 more joined us later). By the time we had been at the rallying point for 20 min, the marchers further back WERE STILL COMING.
Literally every flavor of human represented.
