Meta Tried to Censor No Kings. They Only Made the Democracy Fight Stronger
Meta’s history of cozying up to Trump makes this year’s push for early voting more important than ever.

Glad to see President Obama and so many Democrats have spoken out against the regime’s sham “investigation” of Rep. Ilhan Omar. Makes the silence from the current Senate Democratic leader @schumer.senate.gov even more unacceptable.
MS NOW@ms.now · yesterdayBarack Obama issued a rare public statement Sunday criticizing the Trump administration’s investigation of Rep. Ilhan Omar. Read more from Erum Salam.
In the middle of #NoKings day, Meta suspended the @nkcoalition.bsky.social Instagram account. Tell Congress to investigate Meta's pattern of political suppression and hold tech giants accountable for any attempts to interfere in our elections: act.indivisible.org/sign/tell-yo...
“This is what they do. They offer a BS excuse that doesn’t actually address their years-long history of systematically undermining elections.” @ezralevin.bsky.social joined @majorityreport.bsky.social to discuss Meta’s censorship of No Kings on No Kings Day.
Your midterm vote plays a crucial role in laying the groundwork for a post-Trump era. @ezralevin.bsky.social @indivisible.org @jenrubin.bsky.social
A one-year-old Black BABY was murdered and the state of Mississippi is claiming the white officer who did it was "justified". An absolutely horrifying outrage and injustice.
Ashton Pittman@ashtonpittman.bsky.social · 8h agoJUST IN: The police shooting that killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley as he sat in his mother’s lap in a Walmart parking lot in Senatobia, Miss., in June “was justified,” Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch’s office said on Monday. Her office will not charge the white officer who shot the child.
A good summary here of how much Meta is in the tank for Trump. And a reminder that the authoritarian threat comes not just from within the Trump administration but from its oligarchic allies. Oligarchic power is now a clear and present threat to our democracy. open.substack.com/pub/populari...
Meta shuts down "No Kings" account during major anti-Trump protest
On Saturday, thousands of “No Kings” events were held around the country.

We’ve built historic marches, we’ve protested on a previously unseen scale — and now we’re taking that power to the polls.
Indivisible ❌👑@indivisible.org · 11h agoTEXAS: Early voting has begun! Voting early is the best way to make sure your ballot is safe from suppression efforts and election sabotage. Not in Texas? Help drive historic early vote turnout by sharing this post. Visit 866ourvote.org for more info.
Carville’s strategic recommendation last year was for Dems to “roll over and play dead.” So, uh, I think the real question is why anybody is still paying attention to this old fool.

She's a national treasure. Huge thanks to @hcrichardson.bsky.social for the clarity, context, and fortitude she brings to this moment. heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/october-17...
October 17, 2026
Around the United States of America and the world, people gathered today at more than 3,000 No Kings: Vote Early events to encourage Americans to vote in the November 3 midterm elections.

If Meta suspended the account at the request of or under pressure from the admin, that would be “jawboning” — and a 1A violation. This was exactly what the MAGA states argued wrt the Hunter Biden story and COVID minsinfo. The purpose of the investigation would be to find out if that happened
Mike Masnick@masnick.com · 2d agoPeople demanding Zuck be hauled before Congress to explain why No Kings insta was suspended... how would you feel if MAGA GOP hauled MSNow execs to explain why they covered Trump the way they do? Both are editorial choices protected by the First Amendment. If this annoys you...
Unacceptable. Meta took down the No Kings Instagram today and kept it offline for well over an hour. Censoring free speech to appease Donald Trump? We the people deserve answers, but regardless, we will not be silenced.
Holy moly did Aaron Sorkin write this or is this real life?? Treat yourself and watch the whole thing. I want to watch these kinds of interactions for the next 6 years on the national stage. We've got to do our part to help get Abdul to the Senate.
Abdul El-Sayed@abdulelsayed.bsky.social · 2d agoThis is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.
Heartfelt appreciation to every patriotic person in this country who stood up against the monarchs and the oligarchs and the fascists today. They're flailing and failing, and we're organizing and rising. We will win. ❌👑
Democrats need to be ready to hold hearings and inquiries into the assault that Musk, Zuckerberg and other tech bros are making against democratic institutions at home and abroad.
Meta has suspend the No Kings account on its protest day. Meta had also suspended Lula accounts in Brazil ahead of the election. Tiktok has suspended the account of the Musk documentary ahead of its release. We are living in censorship dictated by the oligarchs.
Organizer Ezra Levin responds after Meta froze the "No Kings" coalition’s Instagram account and locked out its administrators for four hours during the height of Saturday’s protests.
There are over 3,000 No Kings events across the US today! Tag us in your footage and RSVP now to learn what’s next for No Kings: bit.ly/whatsnext1021. #NoKings ❌👑
Today, millions of Americans hit the streets for the BIGGEST early vote activation in US history! Next, we're going to make sure every vote is counted, the election results are certified, and the winners are seated in January. Join our mass call to learn more: bit.ly/whatsnext1021.
The next congress is going to be very good for democracy.
Chris Murphy@chrismurphyct.bsky.social · 2d agoMeta took down the No Kings organizing page today - the biggest day of protest this fall. They provided zero explanation. It stayed down for the entire afternoon until most of the protests were done. Outrageous. Put this on the January investigation list.
Update: WE ARE BACK IN! We can post again. This was utter bullshit on the biggest early vote effort in history. But it will not stop what we're building. No Kings means no kings in the White House or in Silicon Valley.
Ezra Levin ❌👑@ezralevin.bsky.social · 2d agoUpdate: about 4 hours later and we still don't have admin access so we still can't post to the No Kings instagram account. This isn't slowing down the the 3,000+ early vote events today. We will drive the biggest early vote in history. But this should be a flashing alarm about what's to come.
❓ YLRAE ETOV? What's that mean? 💡Well, when folks holding the letters turn back around to face the traffic, what do they spell? ❌👑 On No Kings-Vote Early day, Indivisible Edgewater was out letting neighbors know that to protect our vote, we need to vote early! @indivisibleedgewater.org #NoKings
I have so much love and respect for how the people of this city have responded to this moment in history.
daviss@daviss.org · 2d agoNOW: Thousands gathered at Commons Park in Minneapolis for the NO KINGS rally. They've so far heard from Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, Former Minneapolis Mayor RT Rybak, Minnesota 15 defendants and musical performers.
