My kids' schools are emailing me now about how they will protect my kids' rights against unlawful aggression by the federal government. Why is this our life now. (I mean, I do know but still)

There are about 1.3 million active duty troops so even if this were legal (and it probably isn't) and even people cared about the law (they don't), then this amounts to a whopping $100 per troop.

Meanwhile, the media runs headlines like this which do nothing but sanitize the administration.

That's cool!

I may have buried the lede - here's a toy model where you can manually change party position *and see how moving towards another party can(!) reduce rather than increase* your voteshare.

There's nothing clever happening under the hood (no salience/legitimacy mechanics) just a dumb spatial model.

"normies do not care about this thing and so it is no use raising a stink" is imho just an excuse for not doing politics, which is the job of making normies care about something

Trumps biggest distraction from the files yet

He's actually trashing the White House. What's next -- feeding the actual Constitution into a shredder? At least we can stop hearing everybody repeat the phrase, I suppose.

OK, that's cool.

A 60 second summary of some of the biggest and best sights from #NoKings Day.

Congratulations to every single organizer, volunteer and attendee👏

History.

SAN FRANCISCO SAYS NO DAMN KINGS!!!!! ❌ 👑

The image is taken from an angle, and you can see the ocean tilting 30 degrees in the distance, with a huge crowd in front of it. In the foreground, you can see the giant American flag that is being held up by hundreds of protesters clustered around its edges.

This is the human banner from the air. It's sign made from masses of people standing together to form letters. It reads "No Kings Yes on 50." There is an American flag in the middle and a thick border around the banner. (Prop 50 is a California state proposition to gerrymander the state to create more blue districts, in order to combat the Texas law that gerrymanders their state to create more red districts.)

I joined the "human banner" at San Francisco's Ocean Beach. This flag was at the center. It was a gorgeous day with enormous waves. #nokings

Noted.

Seconded. This was extremely informative.

People are dressed up and dancing outside Portland’s ICE facility. It’s raining lightly and there’s lingering tear gas in the air from a recent major gassing and occasional pepper ball deployment.

I ❤️ my hometown.

Well done…

I’m absolutely exhausted in the best possible way. I love us. We did it! #NoKings

Breathtaking. This is why today will likely go down as the biggest day of peaceful protest in our nation’s 250 year history.

This is Idaho 💙

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

No kings
No tyrants
Not now
Not ever
