I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Remind you of anyone?

Anti-Trump protests hit cities worldwide – in pictures Thousands of ‘Hands Off’ protesters – in the US and across major European cities – took to the streets Saturday in a show of defiance

To the world:
We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom.

—With love,
Your American allies.

A Sunday Meditation on Beauty, Grief, and the Sound of Resistance Why the music that shaped my life now speaks to the sorrow of our time, and why Americans must act now to save what remains of your democracy

This is an extraordinary, profound piece of writing. It reaches further, deeper than any exhortation I have read, touching the soul — the wellspring of resistance.

Our research shows: the resistance is alive and well | Erica Chenoweth, Jeremy Pressman and Soha Hammam Street protests today are far more numerous and frequent than skeptics might suggest

Thank you @chenoweth.bsky.social and company.
