He was stopped.

BY THE PEOPLE.

That's the lesson.

Thousands have packed into Chicago's Grant Park this sunny afternoon for today's mass No Kings protest.

"All you fascists bound to lose" playing to open the rally.

Solidarity FOREVER!! ✊🏾🚫👑 #ICEout

New York #NoKings protesters are so numerous that the 7th Avenue and Central Park South are packed!

I’m scrolling through vids & pix from all over the U.S. & the world, & having a good cry.

It’s all so moving & beautiful & powerful!

And also it’s all so awful; what’s prompted these protests.

Thank you, to everyone on the streets today. Those of us who are unable to march are grateful for you.

Here at the No Kings demonstration in Boise, Idaho. It appears to be another record turnout. This is a good moment to be with neighbors and grow in care and community.
