No notes

Organizers have reported 7 million attendees at the No Kings events and we’re happy to confirm 7 million and counting! More events are still happening across the country today, so we’ll need additional time to fully certify the final numbers.

"This Earth warming and carbon is actually healthy for us. It helps us to feed people, it helps keep people alive. The Earth is more green than it was years and years ago, and that is because of the Earth warming."

I’m so over this age of anti-intellectualism!

I want SMART people making the decisions. Don’t get me wrong… a college degree is just paper - intelligence is a way of analyzing the world. If you don’t analyze well, you’re much more likely to either misunderstand or make up facts.

I’m over the age of anti-intellectualism. #makeamericasmartagain #voteoutmtg @shawnforcongress.bsky.social

This is not the land of the free. This is the land of the wealthy and privileged. August 2nd, we will RAGE against the REGIME!! #50501 #50501movement #peoplesmovement #nokings #rageagainstheregime

We are a nation under duress. People are being taken from their homes, from grocery stores, from safe places. People with no prior criminal history. People who have active cases for citizenship or asylum.

Pretending to be president seems pretty easy nowadays

Rosie O’Donnell living rent-free in Trump’s head is the most stable housing situation in America.

And a light goes off @rosie.com

It’s not that we never learn… it’s that money makes people into parasites consuming everything in their path on their race to be god like.

Charlie Angus reminded me…

Mamdani: "I've already had to start get used to the fact that the president will talk about how I look, how I sound, where I'm from, ultimately bc he wants to distract from what I'm fighting for. I'm fighting for the the very working people he ran a campaign to empower that he has since betrayed."

"175 stripes representing each year since 1850. Blues for colder years, reds for hotter years, “warming stripes” have been adopted around the world as a symbol of climate awareness, action and ambition -- and in 2023, were updated to include a new dark red stripe."

A piece of my story… and other commentary

“The Department of Homeland Security appears to be trying to convince Americans that their agents must cover their faces because their opponents, especially Democrats, are dangerous.” -Heather Cox Richardson, June 20, 2025

When is it too much…….

While we wait for the Supreme Court to rule in a critical redistricting case from Louisiana, this is what the GOP is up to in Texas and Ohio. Remember the GOP's plan is to make it harder for you to vote and easier for them to cheat.

And a smile creeps on the collective of America
