Today's moment of hope/beauty/inspiration: early voting starts in NY today. Our vote is our voice, and we will not be silenced!

I was so fortunate to help support this event in Brewster, along with many members of my Indivisible group and many friends from Pound Ridge.

(below the No Kings logo) WHY WE WEAR YELLOW Millions of people coming together in movement against this regime is our greatest hope for our freedoms, our families and our futures. For months, people online and on our streets have called for a simple, shared way to show that unity. Something anyone, anywhere, could show and share with others. Throughout history, people who have come together in protest against authoritarian regimes have utilized a color that is easy to see among a sea of thousands. YELLOW IS A BRIGHT, UNMISTAKABLE REMINDER THAT MILLIONS OF US STAND TOGETHER IN THE BELIEF THAT AMERICA BELONGS TO ITS PEOPLE, NOT TO KINGS.

(around the No Kings logo) WHY WE WEAR YELLOW HISTORICAL CONTEXT HONG KONG: protesters carried yellow umbrellas as acts of protest, turning an everyday object into a vivid icon of peaceful resistance against violence and suppression. ASIA: yellow ribbons became emblems of hope, accountability, and systemic reform: after South Korea’s Sewol ferry tragedy, yellow ribbons evolved from memorial tokens into protest symbols demanding government transparency and justice. EASTERN UKRAINE: the "Yellow Ribbon" movement reclaimed the color as a signal of resistance and national self-determination amid invasion. BY CHOOSING YELLOW, WE ALIGN OURSELVES WITH THIS HISTORICAL CONTEXT: IT IS A VISIBLE, OPTIMISTIC BANNER THAT CARRIES THE WEIGHT OF DEMOCRATIC STRUGGLE, NONVIOLENT DISSENT, AND A REMINDER THAT POWER MUST STEM FROM THE PEOPLE, NOT FROM CROWNS.

(around the No Kings logo) WHY WE WEAR YELLOW THE ASK TO WEAR YELLOW On October 18, millions of us will join our neighbors at No Kings rallies to stand united against the authoritarian regime in the White House. Our power is in our unity, and our unity will be seen in yellow. For generations, people around the world have used color to show collective strength in the face of oppression. Our movement is no different. Yellow is our shared signal, bright, bold, and impossible to ignore, a reminder that America's power belongs to our people, not to kings. WHEN YOU WEAR YELLOW, YOU JOIN A MOVEMENT THAT STRETCHES FROM CITY BLOCKS TO RURAL TOWN SQUARES, A MOVEMENT ROOTED IN HOPE, COURAGE, AND THE BELIEF THAT AMERICA IS WORTH FIGHTING FOR.

Opinion | The End of the University as We Know It

The irony of the fascist right in decrying the "coastal elites" and universities, when it is five of the six justices who keep destroying our democratic guardrails, attended either Harvard or Yale Law School, is almost laughable if it weren't so terrifying.

‪NEW:
The Only Political Ideology That Matters Now Is Opposition

It’s not just the economy, stupid - inside the growing Democratic schism between business-as-usual accommodation and true opposition.

Call your representatives and voice your objection to this hidden clause. There is so much that is wrong with the budget reconciliation bill that this may be buried.

New Yorkers, let's get this bill over the finish line.

The Mystery of ICE’s Unidentifiable Arrests In early March, the agency announced that it had arrested forty-eight people in New Mexico—a month later, their identities and whereabouts remain unknown.

ICE officers are now reportedly required to meet arrest quotas each day, from a few hundred to between 1,200 and 1,500 nationwide. Jonathan Blitzer reports on the mystery of the agency’s unidentifiable arrests.

The estimate for yesterday's rallies/marches is 4 million people. And yet, the NYT and other mainstream media headlines read "thousands". NYT, grow a spine and report the truth! Can't even find it on today's front page of the Times' website: www.nytimes.com #NoKings, #HandsOff!

‘Shame!’ Protesters Nationwide Rally Again to Condemn Trump Policies. Thousands of demonstrators rallied at hundreds of events on Saturday to speak out against the president’s handling of immigration, civil liberties, job cuts and many other issues.

Come on NYT! Is this some sort of new math? "Thousands of demonstrators" nationwide? Try "hundreds of thousands", perhaps more, if you do use the basic arithmetic skill of addition, counting all the venues. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/19/u...

Today's No Kings rally in Mamaroneck, NY.

Please repeat over and over:

“Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.”

—Gov. JB Pritzker

Today's moment of hope/beauty/inspiration. Upon reflecting back on your life, ask yourself whether you only showed up on social media during this crisis, or were out on the streets, on the phone to your elected reps, in your community engaging disengaged/overwhelmed neighbors to join this movement.
