Today I joined 20k fellow Pittsburghers and PA leaders at the #NoKings rally Downtown. I’m an immigrant, physician, scientist & first Indian-American PA State Rep, everything @realDonaldTrump & @StephenM hate. Defending science, free inquiry & our democracy go hand-in-hand.

Presidents are not kings.
Laws are not suggestions.
There are no kings in America—not now, not ever.

As long as I’m your Governor, Pennsylvania women will always have the fundamental freedom to choose.

Donald Trump is not, never will be, and has never been a king. #NoKings

Very large crowd has gathered at the City County Building in downtown Pittsburgh for the NO KING’s Rally. This is one of many in and around Pittsburgh. @PghProtests

Those gathering today are part of a long American tradition. They stand in a line that stretches back to Lexington & Concord, through Selma, through Washington, through every town square where citizens have raised their voices in defense of the republic.

Here in Bowling Green, Ohio, and across the country, #NoKings protests are taking place once again.
The protests, in opposition to President Trump's use of power and his administration's policies, were organized by a number of local & national groups.

I like Shapiro but this is the most dangerous thing a governor has done anywhere, possibly ever.

Tomorrow, millions of Americans will be joining No Kings rallies.
We will be saying NO to authoritarianism.
NO to oligarchy.
NO to endless wars.
NO to the continued attacks against the working class.
I look forward to seeing you in St. Paul, MN.

The female boxer in the picture was never even a little bit transgender. We are living through a mass psychosis.

Today's ruling by the IOC means a welcome return to fair sport for women and girls, but I'll never forget the scandal of Paris 2024, when people who consider themselves supremely virtuous and progressive publicly cheered on men punching women.

Watch a Giant Eagle store manager calmly talk to police and calmly mange a “out of control” customer.
Witnesses say the woman pushing a dog in a stroller…”lost It” and stripped naked in the store.
The manager calmly kept customers out of harms way.
White Oak Police arrested her.

This miscast of Snape in Harry Potter is a good example of race swapping changing an entire story. If Snape is Black, despite books saying he’s White, then Harry is now suspicious that the only Black teacher at Hogwarts is stealing and his Dad bullied a Black kid by hanging him. This seems like a major story change to introduce the idea of racism, and it strays from the source material. 🥴

Unbelievable! Pittsburgh cops stood by while ICE agents were viciously assaulted. They refused to intervene! Councilwoman Barb Warwick seems just fine with it. #getmarty #pittsburgh #@kdkaradio #ICE #LawEnforcement #Immigration
