Hey! Can you clarify where, exactly, folks should gather today? Or are you just encouraging folks to come to the park with signs and stroll around, play it by ear, etc.?

Don’t worry: the 2nd amendment people who told us we couldn’t ban their AR-15s in case they had to overthrow a tyrannical government are going to save us any day now, and all the mass shootings will have been worth it.

Glitch in the matrix. There were only supposed to be two.

I have photographic evidence of a certain Thanksgiving cooking fire our families shared, and all of us in calico dresses -- Little House meets the Massachusetts Bay Colony, but in Connecticut.

It’s what they called it under Peron and Pinochet too.

This is great but I sure wish they’d gotten their act together to do it sooner. I like to think that constituent calls helped. And of course, courage is contagious. Gradually it’s happening

There will be protests at those battlefields (Minuteman Natnl Historic Park) on the 19th.

We have to protest while we still can. I suspect there will be agent provocateurs and maga militias in the mix soon enough. Trump is just waiting for an excuse to crack down.

No boycott needed. Only his cult would go anyway. What needs to happen is another big event at the same time to pull focus

5 million people around the country protested yesterday, but somehow that news isn't fit to print on the homepage of @nytimes.com today. WTF? #HandsOff

Boston was out in force. Rising up against tyranny is kind of our thing. #handsoff

Any resistance from the Dems gets media coverage is good resistance. #CoryBooker

Maybe not in one place, but we’re a much, much bigger country.

There have been multiple large demonstrations cross the US since early February. You should go to one.

Should we call him Chuck Chamberlain or Neville Schumer? @schumer.senate.gov

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Democrats Plan Nationwide Blitz of Town Halls in Republican Districts A series of events in all 50 states aims to capitalize on a recent warning from Republican leadership that its lawmakers should avoid such public forums.

Exactly! In Season 1 there were also the complex dynamics between the native Hawaians / the hotel / the guests (shown through the Kai & Paula plot), and issues of class / race / exploitation in the relationship btwn Tanya and Belinda

(This prompted me to look up whether it was real. Alas, no. Prosthetic. Bummer for Parker Posey.)

I'm glad more Democrats are finding their outside voices. Keep it up.
