Trump continues to try to slap his name on everything. The Kennedy Center and now a dollar bill. No living President has ever done this. He is not a monarch. Yet another reason to support the #NoKings rally tomorrow.

🚨 THIS JUST IN: With over 100 protests still to come, we can already estimate that at least 8 million people participated in No Kings protests today.

That makes No Kings 3 the largest single day of protest in American history. #NoKings

More signs from small-town Maine. #NoKings

Sign in old-fashioned lettering saying “Midcoast Maine: Resisting Tyrants Since 1775.”

Wow. Thousands already gathered in DC for today’s #NoKings protest! 👏

Poetically, they have gathered at the sight of Trump’s proposed new arch.

Clara Jeffery @clarajeffery.bsky.social · Mar 28

There are a whole bunch of reasons to turn out for #nokings tomorrow but here are maybe the top two:

1) huge turnout is a signal to republicans edging away from Trump and puts steel in Dem spines.

2) least we can do to honor bravery of Minnesotans who turned the tide

Over 100,000 people here at the #NoKings rally in St. Paul Minnesota. This amazing crowd continues to grow.

Our country belongs to all of us, not one person. Trump is forgetting this. He acts like he owns America. He does not. On this day from Alaska to Maine we remind him!
