Screenshot of excerpt from Rudyard Kipling poem: "Howso’ great their clamour, whatsoe’er their claim, Suffer not the old King under any name! Here is naught unproven—here is naught to learn. It is written what shall fall if the King return. He shall mark our goings, question whence we came, Set his guards about us, as in Freedom’s name. He shall take a tribute, toll of all our ware; He shall change our gold for arms—arms we may not bear. He shall break his judges if they cross his word; He shall rule above the Law calling on the Lord. 20 He shall peep and mutter; and the night shall bring Watchers ’neath our window, lest we mock the King— Hate and all division; hosts of hurrying spies; Money poured in secret, carrion breeding flies. Strangers of his counsel, hirelings of his pay, These shall deal our Justice: sell—deny—delay."

"The Old Issue," the Rudyard Kipling poem from 1899 from which we draw the phrase "No Truce With Kings," might make a good reading for the next #NoKings Day. This is an excerpt, full text at this link (h/t George L.): www.kiplingsociety.co.uk/poem/poems_o...

Thank you! Grateful for your leadership and not letting the GOP shut down keep you from your duties.

White House demolition sends shock waves, spurs calls for pause - POLITICO

“We the people” are horrified! Destroying our historic home for a ballroom to show off for his billionaire buddies? WTH Congress, where’s the oversight?Those who funded this should be exposed and publicly embarrassed.

This is NOT his house, it’s the people’s house, OUR house. Our representatives did not approve this nor did he get the proper approvals to do this. So I don’t care who paid for this, this is illegal destruction of government property!

No kings in Rochester, New York. Incredible turnout! Peaceful protest at its finest.

I’m a grandmother who was in elementary school during the civil rights movement. It is our turn now. My children and my grandchildren deserve better!! We will not let our story end.

So deserved! No harder working team in the industry led by an amazingly competent and talented individual. Can’t wait for Friday!

Congratulations on your Edward R. Murrow award! So, deserving!!

This needs to spread over and over.

So, let me see if I have this right. Jimmy Kimmel is too sensitive for @13wham.bsky.social airwaves, but broadcasting the vicious rhetoric about the left from the President of the United States, that's a-ok. Shame on Sinclair and 13 for choosing selective censorship. #rochesterny

Yes!!! We will peacefully protest! Yes, we will cancel any support of ABC and Disney companies!

So, now I will no longer be watching anything on ABC nor will I buy or support anything related to Disney. I was in the planning stages for a Disney cruise to Disney Island for our entire family. No more.

We need a nationwide “take back our democracy” patriotic rally. Fill the streets/stadiums across the country with people waving flags and singing songs. Get local and national musicians involved to speak to this moment. Let everyone know this is what patriotism looks like.

Thank you so much for having Neal Katyal on this evening! He is just amazing and gives me hope. So glad he is at the helm on this.

Thank you for having Beto O’Rourke on today. The Democrats need to understand that Republicans will always be Lucy with the football, so stop being Charlie Brown!

@nicollewallace.bsky.social Thank you for having Alex Wagner on today!

Every day do something positive to help us move forward during these difficult times. Write or call elected officials, donate, join a local Indivisible group, stand in solidarity with others. If everyone does one thing, we collectively gain the power to make change.

Thank you for posting this chilling letter and for your amazing podcast with Rachel tonight. You are both an inspiration to me and I try never to miss your shows. While listening, I was also making my poster for the nationwide Elbows Up protest along our border with Canada tomorrow!

Go LA Dodgers!!
