In two recent appearances, the former special counsel explained his view of what it means to say βNo Kings.β
"Again and again, Smith emphasized that the current administration has diverged from all previous administrations." And Smith does so without invective or partisanship.

If youre protesting this weekend, please wear a mask! Covid and other viruses are circulating - I know several people who are/were just sick. It is important to make things accessible, especially because most minorities, especially disabled people, are much more likely to have the worst outcomes.
