Retired Army Sgt. Brian Wofford spoke to me this morning at the Oklahoma City #NoKings protest. Didn’t expect him to be carrying his DD214 so I asked some warmup questions like when he got out and whether his injury was service-related.

He paused while describing the car bomb in Iraq to say this:

Dang, what a great list. Thanks for the reflective morning.

Portland OR Hands Off Rally

Oh wow: Portland Oregon is NOT KIDDING
#handsoff

Spectacular view of 100,000 people attending the #HandsOff march in NYC

NEW: Incredible scenes in Washington DC now.

Tens of thousands on the National Mall for the #HandsOff protest against Trump & Musk.

There must be over a million people protesting across every US state today.

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

The Northwest Portland riverside park from the Burnside Bridge filled with 1000s of people with signs

Definitely the biggest protest I've seen in Portland since I moved here in 2018. #HandsOff

Protest in New York City on 26th Street.

New York Fucking City. A full mile of people filled to the brim. Fascism is going to lose.

#HandsOff in a small town in ruby red Alabama

SUMMERVILLE, SOUTH CAROLINA !

Hundreds of folks out here to say #HandsOff !

A photo of a large protest in Chicago. Hundreds of people in the street are holding signs. A large banner at the front reads "rise up fight back"

Anti-Trump/Musk protest in Newark, Delaware (pop. 35,000). This is not a very political town. Might be the biggest protest I’ve seen in my six years here.

Big turnouts for today's #HandsOff! protests nationwide, including in smaller towns and cities — here's Portland, Maine

We have the momentum

Hands off Madison, Wisconsin

Absolutely incredible turn out at MN State Capitol! #HandsOff

Huge turnout at Hands Off protest in nation’s oldest city St. Augustine, Florida. No media there to cover it - please share. #handsoff #handsoffflorida #handsoff2025 #floridaprotest #florida #resist #floridaresists #staugustineprotest #saintaugustine #staugustine #dumptrump #resisttrump #lawsmatter

I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

WOW: Thousands are currently protesting in Boston. This is just one of more than 1200 'Hands Off' protests underway today across the nation as people rise up against the Trump-Musk regime. (via Rob Way)

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.

18F, the federal government’s technology shop, was demolished by Musk’s team shortly after midnight. It was a cost-recoverable org, charging agencies for their expertise, using a consulting model. Its cost to government was negligible, its benefits huge. My team there once saved DoD $500 billion.

Went down this rabbit hole not too long ago and came up empty outside of the ones you mentioned. Super curious to see if anyone knows of others out there.

Such a fun book. Highly recommend.

I’ve had an A1 Mini for about a year. I’ve had an absolute blast with it. I think the A1 is worth the bump up though. You can do a ton with the mini but it wish I had the extra printing surface. Doesn’t happen a ton, but you’ll need to do less sizing down. Thinking of an A1 upgrade myself.

The “we should be able to disagree and still be friends” people are about to work my last nerve.

This mindset works with a lot of topics but not when the disagreement is around racism, sexism, homophobia, ableism, etc.
