'The View' co-host attends 'No Kings' protest, claimed 'instigators' were planted in the crowd
"The View" co-host Ana Navarro detailed her experience at the "No Kings" protest demonstrations over the weekend, telling her co-hosts that there were "instigators" planted in the crowd.
"I was so proud of everybody that protested because I saw people who were put in the crowd to instigate confrontation and folks were in with it, and they did not engage," Navarro said during the show on Monday. "People were saying to each other, 'do not engage.'"
The "No Kings" protests took shape over the weekend across the country to counter President Donald Trump and his policies as he was present at the military parade honoring the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army.
"I have to tell you, it was so uplifting, because so often we ask each other, 'but what can we do as one person?' And just getting off the couch, getting off Twitter, and going and doing something and being in community, because I think a lot of us have felt fear and loneliness in the last five months, and to see this happening all over America. I saw veterans, I saw old people, I saw young people, I saw Blacks and Whites and Latinos. I saw so many people that weren't Latinos or immigrants holding up signs for the dignity of the immigrant community," Navarro said.
Navarro attended the protests in Miami, Florida, her hometown, and posted on Instagram over the weekend to thank everyone who participated in the demonstrations.
"Thank you to the millions of people who participated in the thousands of events in big and small cities all over America. It has been a particularly heart-breaking week for the Latino and immigrant community. Thank you to the allies. Thank you to everyone who is resisting and helping in so many ways. Together we are stronger," Navarro wrote on Instagram.
The other co-hosts of "The View" also praised the protests.
"Men were out for women, women were out for men, Latinos were out for Black folks, Asian folks were out, we were all out looking out for each other, because if I don't look out for you, what am I doing?" Goldberg said.
Goldberg also warned of "bad players" at protests.
"Be aware that there are bad players out there when you are protesting. When you see them starting to go, you let everybody else know what you know, not them. Because they are not there for the same reasons we are here," she said.

Video: UFC legend Demetrious Johnson submits KSI in 17 seconds
Yeah, KSI never stood a chance. The popular streamer hit the mat with former UFC flyweight champion Demetrius Johnson, challenging him to submit him in less than one minute. KSI got to choose the position in which they would start, and went with full mount – one of the most dominant positions in jiu-jitsu. Yet, despite the positional and weight advantage, KSI only lasted 17 seconds against the flyweight GOAT. Advertisement You can watch the video of their quick grappling match in the video below: Johnson, 38, is regarded as the greatest flyweight of all time. He defended the 125-pound title 11 consecutive times, setting and maintaining the record for the most consecutive title defenses in UFC history. "Mighty Mouse" announced his retirement from MMA last September, putting an end to a legendary 15-year-career in MMA. KSI, one of the word's most popular streamers, turned to the combat sports world in recent years. He's specifically been fighting professionally in boxing, and owns his own promotion – Misfits Boxing, which streams on DAZN.

Threads Adds Spoiler Tags for Posts
This story was originally published on Social Media Today. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Social Media Today newsletter. After testing them out over the past few months, Threads has now launched its new spoiler tags in posts, which will enable users to hide words in their posts behind a tappable overlay. As you can see in this example, posted by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, now if you want to mention something without letting everyone see (like, for example, a TV show spoiler), you can highlight the relevant text within the composer, then select 'Mark spoiler' to blur it. Viewers will then have the choice as to whether they want to reveal that info or not, which will add another engagement element to your Threads posting options. As noted, Threads has been developing this for some time, with the first indicators of the feature spotted in testing back in January. The option is similar to the spoiler tags on Reddit, providing another consideration when sharing potentially disruptive info. The main target here is TV show discussion, which is still a major element of interaction on X, though Threads says that it's also seeing more chatter about trending shows, including 'The Last of Us' and 'The White Lotus.' Tapping into trending entertainment discussion could help Threads become a bigger competitor for X, and grow its evolving community, which is steadily rising to become a more important companion for live event discussion. Indeed, Threads is now up to 350 million monthly active users, and continues to see strong download momentum. X reported back in March that it's now serving 600 million monthly actives, though it is also losing users in some markets. By focusing on live event discussion, which also includes live sports, Threads is hoping to be able to dethrone X as the place to be for in-the-moment engagement. And if it can win over more of these communities, it could well be on track to become the next billion-user platform, as envisioned by Zuck and Co.

Flattery or Discipline? The Difficult Task of Managing Trump.
Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada began by wishing President Trump a happy birthday. He emphasized the importance of U.S. leadership in the Group of 7 alliance, which is meeting in Alberta, Canada. But after seven minutes of questioning by journalists during which Mr. Trump complained about Russia's absence at the summit and attacked Democrats over immigration policies, the host of the summit had heard enough. He took a step forward and into the center of the frame and effectively stopped the questioning, preventing the American president from saying more. With war raging in the Middle East and U.S. tariffs hammering his own country's economy as well as global trade, Mr. Carney was intent on limiting the chances of a Trump-related derailment of the gathering. 'If you don't mind, I'm going to exercise my role, if you will, as G7 chair, since we have a few more minutes with the president and his team and then we actually have to start the meeting to address some of these big issues,' Mr. Carney said. 'So, merci beaucoup.' With that, the press was rapidly escorted out of the room. The brief moment at the start of the gathering provided a window into a daunting challenge for world leaders entering the summit: Just what is the best way to manage Mr. Trump on the global stage?
