@PoliticalStacy you want manipulated, look no further than the folks in the MAGA cult

@MIK3MCDANIEL Thanks for heads up. Haven't watched college basketball in 20 years. Will continue to avoid

@JesseKellyDC Senate Repubs agreed on bill to fund TSA but Trump and his sycophant Johnson would not allow House to vote on that. It's Repubs who are responsible for the TSA issues.
English

@votekeithallen How do you feel about Trump paying for expenses of his rallies? "Cities seek more than $750K in unpaid bills for Trump campaign events since 20"
English

@statomattic Awesome jobs by all who attend Trump rallies. You raised awareness that you are members of his cult
English

@ajzeigler Remember when it was ok for Repubs to have their opinion without checking with King Donald?
English

Remember when your party nominated a woman for President despite no one voting for her in the primary.
Senator Mazie Hirono@maziehirono
Donald Trump is not, never will be, and has never been a king. #NoKings

If illegals aren’t voting, it shouldn’t be a problem showing ID.
Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock@SenatorWarnock
It's already illegal to vote if you're not a citizen. They're trying to convince us there are droves of people who are willing to risk deportation and the abuse that we are seeing from ICE to vote illegally. It defies credulity and it's simply not true.
English

@GrageDustin Just like Repubs have no say in who their candidates will be. Trump tells Repubs who their candidates must be and they all just say "yes sir"
English

The irony here is rich.
Amy Klobuchar and Kamala Harris were simply appointed to run top of ticket without giving any say to their activists.
But No Kings.
Max Rymer@maxrrymer
It’s ironic that Democrats in Minnesota are celebrating “No Kings” today while also having zero say at the top of their ticket two election cycles in a row.

@redheadranting can someone explain to me what all the Trump rallies accomplished? Did anyone change parties or their ideology because of them?
English

@bobsansevere Imagine a political party where everybody does only what their leader [King?] says, where nobody dares to stand up to their leader [king?], where saying/doing anything different gets you ostracized
English


@Alice_P_Keaton @SharrellAnne2 just because people are not packing and moving does not mean they cannot try to make things better in US. They are speaking up because Trump continues to make things worse
English

@SharrellAnne2 I have not heard of even one person or family who in protest has packed their bags and moved to Iran, Cuba or Venezuela

I Went to the “No Kings” Protest in Little Rock. Here’s What I Actually Saw.
I went out today to see the “No Kings” protest for myself. Not to argue or engage, just to see it with my own eyes. I’m done taking secondhand opinions about what people claim is happening.
The crowd was bigger than I expected. Chants like “No Trump, no KKK, no racist USA” echoed through the streets, and there was no shortage of profanity, much of it aimed directly at Trump. The tone wasn’t subtle, and it wasn’t occasional. It was constant.
The messaging itself wasn’t unified. It felt like a mashup of causes sharing the same space. Anti-Trump signs, LGBTQ messaging, a handful of anti-war signs, and even someone walking around with an effigy of Trump. It didn’t come across as one clear movement. It felt like a pile of grievances gathered in one place.
There were also clear signs of organization. Groups like the NAACP and the Democratic Socialists of America were present, along with what appeared to be designated organizers and event security. This didn’t feel spontaneous. It felt coordinated.
I also had the opportunity to speak with Chris Jones, who is a Democrat running for Congress here in Arkansas. I told him upfront that we’re on opposite sides politically and that we’ve disagreed before, but that I came out to see this for myself. And I meant what I said next. A lot of the people out here were peaceful. No one confronted me, no one got in my face, and people genuinely seem to believe in why they’re out there.
I even wished him luck in his upcoming race, because at this point we need people in Congress who will actually do something. His response was that we need people willing to do anything, because anything is better than nothing. On that point, I don’t disagree.
What did stand out, though, was the makeup of the crowd. I’m 46, and I was one of the younger people there. The majority looked to be in their 60s, 70s, and even 80s. This wasn’t the energized younger crowd people often associate with protests.
There was also a lot of American flag imagery. People wearing it, carrying it, even flying it upside down. Some signs said things like “take our flag back,” which made the contrast even more noticeable.
Because despite all of that, something felt off.
At times, it felt like I was standing in enemy territory. Not because anyone treated me poorly, because no one did, but because of the tone. The hostility toward one person, the language, the overall atmosphere felt more divided than anything else.
And this is the part that stuck with me the most. I expected anger and confrontation. What I didn’t expect was conviction. These people believe what they’re saying.
But belief doesn’t make something right.
Because even with the flags and the slogans, I didn’t feel the same sense of patriotism that I’ve felt at conservative rallies.
Then I saw a sign that said, “I loved this country.” Past tense.
That one hit me hard. It honestly brought tears to my eyes, because I cannot imagine ever not loving this country, no matter who the president is.
You can protest. You can disagree. That’s your right. But when your message starts to sound like you’ve given up on the country itself, that’s not protest anymore. That’s something else.
I went, I watched, I listened, and I walked away with a clearer picture. What I saw wasn’t oppression.
It was freedom being used to argue that freedom doesn’t exist.

@ofcrdeonjoseph if you want stupid, check out Trump's rambling comments at his Cabinet meeting
English

@AzPatriotGirl75 @redheadranting Trump created and promoted anger and distance long before these rallies were organized.
English

It made me feel disgusted with my “neighbors” here in my small town, waving their signs and Trump hatred at me as I drove through the protest gauntlet. It’s created anger and distance among people who have gotten along all these years. It’s making me more and more angry, and I know I’m not alone feeling that way.
English

What so many fail to understand is that MAGA is not about Donald Trump.
MAGA is about America.
We the People were searching for someone, "anyone," willing to fight corruption and preserve freedom.
We found that in Donald Trump.
He is our voice.
You see, it's not a cult.
It's a revolution.
Make America Great Again!
English

@atrupar What he meant to say is that Donald Trump is not happy so the Speaker is not happy and I am not happy... unless Trump changes his mind and then we will be ok
English

@GlowSurfing Do you see a conspiracy every where you look. Or do you just make up this crap for fun?
English

@tomemmer who told you what to do, what to say, how to act before you met Donald Trump?
English

@tomemmer @Tim_Walz @AGEllison @JDVance You don't have to tell us you agree with Trump. You don't have the spine to do anything else
English

I couldn’t agree with President Trump more: @Tim_Walz and @AGEllison are dirty, CROOKED politicians.
Accountability is coming thanks to @JDVance leading the fraud task force.
Minnesotans have had enough!
