Despite warnings from officials urging people not to attend the "No Kings" rally in St. Paul on Saturday due to safety concerns tied to the targeted political shootings of two state lawmakers, thousands made their way to the state Capitol to protest the Trump administration.
As a Minnesotan I’d be upset if officials didn’t make this announcement. They had an individual who killed 2 people and seriously injured 2 more, whose vehicle was found with No Kings protest flyers, and who had a manifesto that seemed to indicate they had plans for greater violence.
This is the kind of thing people should be warned about. It’s not like it stopped any/many from going but they’d be derelict in their responsibilities if they didn’t let people know.
This will show the fascists that they have a means to shut down all protest.
They didn’t, people showed up all over the state. https://www.mprnews.org/story/2025/06/14/warnings-state-officials-following-shootings-no-kings-rallies-minnesota https://www.startribune.com/trump-protests-gear-up-around-minnesota-us/601371723
Showing up is not an end in itself
“You’ll all be protesting correctly when I decide what that means and you somehow meet the arbitrary bar I set at the same time.”
You’ll be protesting correctly when you effect change.
Well tough guy, where’s your truck bomb?
It’s called a Tesla and it’s a legitimate automotive choice.
Sorry, are you insisting that people from other countries need to come save you from the thing we’ve been telling you for decades was going to happen?
Lol this dude’s taking the piss. What a joke.

Letting people know and trying to cancel a protest are two very different things.
You cannot surrender to terrorists.
