The ruling class has moved the goalpost so many times but forgot to move our wages, too. Everyone has a dog in the fight when it's almost too expensive to just exist. #EatTheRich

They were young people out in SF than the April marches as well. The Mayday protests skewed younger, but were much smaller than I had hoped for. I think it’s a combination of things getting worse & younger progressives putting aside their frustrations with the establishment left. All hands on deck!

Accurate

I dropped my husband off at a protest in a suburb of Los Angeles, where we live. I couldn't stay due to health issues.I could not believe the number of people who showed up-thousands. They were young, elderly, mid-aged, white, Latino, black, Asian, folks w/kids. This is what makes LA so great!

I had dinner last night with a 20yo and 18yo who both marched in SF. With thousands of others their age. The young people are paying attention and they are SICK of this shit.

And the college kids?

Yeah the Philly march did look appear “old” to me at all. In fact if anything I saw a predominance of 20- and 30-somethings. Also lots of parents with their school-age kids.

Gen Z moved right.

I get it, as someone with a 20 yr old who’s busting her ass with work and school. Also, we’ve been there too, sometimes working two jobs. So don’t be surprised with us being fired up- we’ve been fired up way before you were born.

Today's Seniors were raised by those who fought and crushed the Nazis. They also ended the Draft and made sure Civil Rights reform happened.

So many old ladies with “Fuck ICE” signs ☺️

Awesome

Pissing off 75-80% of the population will do that‼️ The collective "WE" did well yesterday ❣️

Ypu have to remember that we seniors come from original protesters, so old folks homes know what to do!

It's amazing that Boomers are usually the greatest number at all the previous protests I've attended. Today was a more even mix in Seattle.

Yes, seniors are fired up about this.

Also, Mike Johnson said Governor Newsom should be tarred and feathered!

So many very, very elderly today. High 80’s & 90’s. Bent over, using walkers, wheelchairs, blac bloc was helping them find chairs after they walked the 3.2 mile route. They are angry in Portland OR

That seems to capture the national mood. We'll see if polling this week confirms it.

a USPS van passed us and got a big cheer. we also got honks of support from a Mountain Dew truck 😂

I never thought twice about my Costco membership, until about 5-1/2 months ago. Now, I "wear" it as a badge of honor.

We had an Amazon prime trailer towed by an independent trucker go through. Every time he saw a "honk if you think Trump is a moron" sign, he laid on his horn. The crowd roared.

Also, "What if we didn't treat our employees like shit?"

As he backs down gathering immigrants, the message they were ever criminals gone! He lied, divided, terrorized, extorted for glory and to insult many who believed him!

Romney Republicans are rather decorum driven IMO, which trump and his thugs are decidedly not

I was really surprised to meet several vets at our protest today. One big guy was even in camo fatigues. At first, I mistook him for a counter protester. I’m not sure what that means, but I’ve been to many protests over several decades, never been on the same side as military before.

Let's add that he stole the election. Now that that's out of the bag, how do we kick him out?

Retired people are the No Kings secret strength!

General strike next Stop spending Nothing will get their attention faster

Great job SC. We support all the small towns with Big hearts. From Jacksonville Florida

We need overwhelming Majorities of Democrats to do Impeachment. That means next years elections really matter. Not only the House but we have to take the Senate which is an uphill fight. Let's move that mountain.

Jamie Raskin was explicitly calling for it today in Philly

When a few of us protested illegal detention of immigrants in MN 5 years ago, Fck ICE signs were frowned upon! It took detention of 'normies: students, coworkers, known neighbors to push the needle. Its a good thing, if a bit late.

Yes I noticed first hand. I think a lot of the protesters were around before the frog was thrown in the pot. I thought the younger people not representing was indicative of a generation born in the almost boiling pot. But the elders were showing up!

Lots of gray hair at the St. Paul protest.

my 84 year old mother attended a rally today!!

god yea. they are the worst. i am a glutton for punishment and i read the fox news viewer comments on the article on the fox website a few hours after it happened. was pretty bleak. 0 stars. do not recommend. the mental gymnastics ... unreal

whew. really glad to hear -- thank you!

my friend and i were surrounded by many older people at the protest. they were wonderful. as they were leaving they said that they were happy we were there. that us younger people are giving them hope. some shook our hands. it was a beautiful moment of solidarity.

I was next to an 87-year-old woman at my No Kings event today

Count this senior in!

@papst-ny.bsky.social

It's simple. We all need to support each other.

Yes we are! We’re mad as hell!!

Word ✊

Word.

They are putting the whole video sequence together where she says they are there to "liberate" (she used that word) CA from the Socialist Mayor and Governor. Of course he had a question. They could have just stood between them, let him ask his ?. The manhandling was awful, she should have stopped it

That Fox is a right-wing news outlet was my point. During the massive defamation lawsuit against Fox, Murdoch admitted Fox News was entertainment, not news. Sorry, can't find the quote.

used to have my pic on here but then someone pointed out that my demographic (white woman) is why we're in this mess to begin with. Decided to change it to my (deceased) dog.

We rode the bus from our neighborhood in Portland to the main protest downtown, and the first satellite protest we passed was outside of a retirement home (and there was no shortage of silver hairs on the bus itself).

We blue hairs are pissed

I saw so many disgruntled looking older people with signs today entirely juxtaposed side by side with young pride participants in downtown Spokane today. It was great.

Speaking as a senior, you are absolutely correct.

And now killing politicians and their spouses...

I too noticed that the senior white crowd is fired up about this bullshit! Attended a No Kings protest today and it was the older white folks who provided the juice for the rally.

Priests and nuns out at protest in Louisville. They were feed up too. And, were very thoughtfully wishing people a peaceful protest

My crew, tattoos, my only salvation- H2O

👏👏👏👎

Well said!

It’s up to us! The work is not done. We are only getting started!!

We’ve been through this before. Vietnam War and ERA. We know how to do this.

💯

Omg, I love us!! We are community. We are unafraid. We take care of each other. We don’t need no stinkin’ fascists. LA- just a huge MWAH to all of you. Fuck the rest of those MFers. We got this.

I saw really old veterans in wheelchairs. I saw parents with little babies wearing headphones for the noise. And I saw tons of college kids (Caly Poly town). Here are two students, they were the rhythm section for the chants, doing one last riff on their way home after the protest ended.

MASSIVELY PISSED

Nicely put, Mr Ian Boudreau!

- law makers and their spouses got shot, killed and imjured.

Hell yeah❤️🙏👍🥶🥶

Agreed. In the drizzle and the cold, most of the folks turned out in Stamford, CT. were over 60 easily.

Seniors grew up in the ‘60s. We have been through this before. We know the power of the people. Women’s rights, civil rights, stopping the war, and so much more were brought about by the people wielding their power back then.

65 myself, but just staggered and awed by uncountable number of much much older people with walkers, canes, wheelchairs. Fucking dazzling

What else needs to be said???

Respectfully good Americans aren't all you have. Millions around the globe are on your side 👊💚

And we are more than willing to stand up and fight for democracy even if our weanie wussy Dem congress people arent

Yes!

We got a taste of the collective power we have when we come together-that’s the plan, repeat over and over, bring in new people and energy. We got this‼️‼️‼️💙✌🏼👍✊🏼

Yes we are! We know what's at stake. America, I don't know what your thing is with re-electing sexual assaulters, but I'm over it.

Impeach the President and VP : Text PAAINA To 50409 Vacate the chair for violent rhetoric: Text PDYSHN To 50409 Remove Kennedy for endangering public safety: Text PWXIJT to 50409

Most of the people demonstrating were in the 50-70 age group

This will be the end of ICE when all is said and done. No one has any respect for them anymore.

As a Senior, I can definitely confirm #1.

Power to the People

Seniors massively represented in my city

I’m 75, my husband 78. We were not at all the oldest people out today. Yes, we’re fired up. We don’t like dictators.

If our nations ICE wasn’t largely replaced with pardoned Jan 6th insurrectionists who were being once again incited by a felon president and led by a racist Trump empowered appointed administration they wouldn’t be getting this amount of nationwide citizen pushback.

Yeah, gotta wonder if we'd had the same turnout if Noem and her DHS goons hadn't lost it at the LA press conference.

Point well taken.

WE NEED TO KEEP THIS MOMENTUM GOING

✊👊💙🌊👊✊

Yes!!

I think people are just cognizant of how much Trump is a terrible person

What's that last thing mean? Pick a lane, I .....

Saw the same in Hutchinson, Kansas. Made me tear up — was amazing

Awwww! He made that himself!

West Chester, PA?

Chester County FTW

YES West Chester yesssss #NoKings

Ahahahaha! West Chester is Lilly as I recall. Love that sign!!!

BOOMERS are the OG of Civil Protest Vietnam War Women's Rights Abortion Rights Gay Rights Black Civil Rights Yes, Boomers ARE the OG of Civil Protest, we ARE.

Seniors are extremely WAY fired up about this !

well said. thanks!

and medicare cuts will come easy for the gop, amd will be very easy to roll back. It is simply foolish of the gop to go after healthcare and ss. The systems work great. Everyone likes them. Very hard. They will try. Because,unlike abortion & voting rights, ss and medicare are liked by white men.

I think they tried hard, but the Right has had some pretty bad people working for it, like who worked for Nixon, Roy Cohn. They've been planning this a long time
