So, seeing the slash through the graffiti crown in the logo feels _to me_ like a negation of people's right to consider themselves kinds, not of having a political king in our country. I don't have a lot of experience with crown logo & king movement, but it has clearly found its way into popular culture. 2/n

I'm a strong supporter of the and attended on Saturday, but — having only visited the website late last week to confirm local event times — something about the logo gave me an uneasy feeling. It's been rolling around in the back of my mind all weekend. I think it's because the graffiti crown has a long history in black American culture (at least in my lifetime, though I'm very much an outsider looking in), especially in the art & music scenes. 1/n

In This Nonviolent Stuff’ll Get You Killed, civil rights scholar Charles E. Cobb Jr. describes the vital role that armed self-defense played in the survival and liberation of black communities in America during the Southern Freedom Movement of the 1960s. In the Deep South, blacks often safeguarded themselves and their loved ones from white supremacist violence by bearing—and, when necessary, using—firearms. In much the same way, Cobb shows, nonviolent civil rights workers received critical support from black gun owners in the regions where they worked. Whether patrolling their neighborhoods, garrisoning their homes, or firing back at attackers, these courageous men and women and the weapons they carried were crucial to the movement’s success.

Russians are mocking Trump's parade

Translation:
"This is how you imagined your parade." "What you really saw"

was a great first start, but that's all it was. The descent into fascism continues unabated.

A man on a bicycle has paused to display two signs, which read: “Voice of America will not be silenced” and “Radical by basic decency.” Many U.S. flag-bearers are to his left, including one holding an upside-down flag, the official signal for distress.

I'm a little down I didn't get to the #NoKingsProtest yesterday nor go to the #prideparade today. I coulda driven but I would've had to walk from where I parked & I can't. I can't take my mobile scooter cuz I don't have a lift on my car. I need a foldable that I can tote round with me, I've seen em but they & the lifts cost so much 🥺 anyway, to to stay festive, I put my #pride flag in the window & a little one on my plant stand outside. #pridemonth2025

Birthday Military kit from Temu.
The squeaky tank gets me every time.
So quiet that one can hear the disappointment. Let's make this our official soundtrack for Trump from now on.
WD-40 abracadabra no squeak!
Is the guy carrying a drone pretending it's flying?
Not even marching .. just walking down the street. The military sent their own message without saying a word; they don’t respect a draft dodger.

Below is a quote from Palm Springs Police Chief Andy Mills who organized protest safety trainings ahead of #NoKingsProtest and had built a good rapport with the community prior to the recent bombing of a medical facility here. 2/4
