If you're going to a No Kings march instead of a witty sign that might elicit a chuckle maybe you could just carry an American flag

The Regime's goal is to grind everyone down. Plain & simple. Our goal is to refuse this by taking turns to fight where and how we can. When one group needs to bow out, then another group needs to step in and so on. We don't all have to do everything. We can all do something though. Stay in the fight

I frequently say you don't need to protest. You don't! There are a thousand other ways to push back on fascism if protesting doesn't feel comfortable or safe for you!

But if you CAN go, this 10/18 #NoKings thing is really a key protest to participate in. Be part of it, friends.

In twelve days, New Yorkers will begin to cast their ballots and face a stark choice.

A choice between democracy and oligarchy. Between a city you can afford or more of the same. Between the hope of a brighter future or a broken past.

We will choose the future.

Chicago Tribune: Greeley, who was born at Illinois Masonic hospital and is adopted, carries a copy of her passport just in case she runs into federal agents. “I am Latina and I am a service worker,” Greeley said. “I fit the description of what they’re looking for now.” During the encounter, Greeley said they told her she “doesn’t look like” a Greeley. “They said this isn’t real, they kept telling me I’m lying, I’m a liar,” Greeley recalled. “I told them to look in the rest of my wallet, I have my credit cards, my insurance.”

"During the encounter, Greeley said they told her she 'doesn’t look like' a Greeley."

Chris Van Hollen for Senate Minority Leader.

We need someone at the helm who understands the fight we're in and is willing to fight it. As far as I've seen, no one in the Senate Dem caucus is speaking with more clarity or conviction.

"After we win in November, we do not demobilize. The rich and corporate interests who tried to buy this election with the millions they stole from our pockets will want to see us fail.

We won’t let them." - Chi Ossé

I’m gonna go to a No Kings rally on Saturday and I hope all of you will too! There are more of us than there are fascists and it’s time to remind them.

The US federal attack on Portland has resulted in the best advertisement for a city that I have ever seen. Round-the-clock joy, community solidarity and silliness that much of the West has lost and longs for.

They are not planning "a violent crackdown" on 10.18. What they are doing is sending a signal to their shock troops to try to cause havoc. But those shock troops will be vastly outnumbered. Go out and protest freely. Do not be cowed.
