No Kings in America.

David Sacks, born in South Africa, immigrated to the US and now serves as a senior advisor to Trump. He was the target of a major recruitment effort by the Russians that they deemed successful. Here's what he has posted this afternoon.

I hear from informed sources that these #NoKings rallies are more than twice as big as last time, making them easily the largest protests in US history. Thanks to everyone and especially organizers.

Standing in solidarity with countless Americans, exercising in their rights to free speech and assembly today! 🇺🇸✊💕

Happening now. Hundreds are gathered outside the US Embassy in London. #NoKings

No Kings protests: What to expect at Saturday's marches around the country This summer, organizers said more than 5 million people participated in No Kings protests against President Trump. Organizers say they expect an even bigger turnout this time around.

“Red State” governors, like Abbot in Texas, are desperate to suppress turnout, especially is “Red” areas. They are already trying to talk away huge crowds as paid infiltrators and even call out the National Guard.

Get out. Be safe. Stay strong.

America needs you.

What the datacenter boom means for America’s environment – and electricity bills In this week’s newsletter: from Google to Amazon to OpenAI, the economic and climate cost of datacenters continues to grow

One reason your electricity bills will go up: simple laws of supply and demand, as data centers dump huge demand obligations onto local utilities without bringing their own supply to the grid.

Black graphic with orange and white text: We the people protest: escalating abuses of power, troops on our streets, targeting of immigrant communities, attacks on free speech, threats to our democracy. Saturday, October 18 in cities across the country

The power of the people is stronger than the people in power. We reject any and all attempts to strip away our rights and dismantle our democracy.

"KNOW YOUR PROTEST RIGHTS You don’t need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you don’t need a permit to march in the streets or along sidewalks, as long as you’re not obstructing traffic or access to buildings. When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police. If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries. If you get stopped by the police, ask if you’re free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away. If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don’t sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present. If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement office at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you’ll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney — no matter your citizenship or immigration status."

If you're taking to the streets to protest today, know your rights.
