Protest sign at #NoKings
Thanks for checking out our coverage of today's No Kings rally and march in Minneapolis today - we talked to someone in a Kenny costume, an Animal muppet, and multiple people with One Piece flags. More : https://unicornriot.ninja/2025/no-kings-protest-draws-thousands-in-minneapolis/
I’ve been to a lot of protests in Reno, and this is far bigger than anything I’ve ever seen. I’ve never seen “Believe Square” full plus the bridge and the street beyond it filled with people.
Thank you for the art. #NoKings #Minnesota

I don't think most people understand that the conservative attack on trans people is a bid to control everyone.

What they are asking for is:
- government access to your private personal medical records in perpetuity
- to give up your right to bodily autonomy, to no longer be allowed to do what you want with your own body
- allowing the government to define whether you have rights based solely on religious doctrine

That should scare the piss out of literally every single person. What they do to us, they will do to you.

More than 4,000 public servants lost their jobs across the government last night. More than 1100 people of those were from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and from what my colleagues in multiple HHS agencies tell me, that was overwhelmingly concentrated at CDC.
