Not 666 people?

A tweet from John Pavlovitz reads “chef’s kiss.” It includes a photo of a woman wearing a gray beanie and scarf, holding a cardboard protest sign that says “Not Today SprAyTAN,” with “A” and “TAN” highlighted in orange. The scene appears to be a street demonstration outside a theater with other people and cars in the background.

Best sign nominee.

Holy shit!! This makes a statement.

Well, you can finally cross “I’ve seen a handcuffed, inflatable penis” off your bucket list

#nokings Kalamazoo. Just a portion of the crowd lining both sides of Drake Road

The thing that makes me the sickest is that these folks don’t even have a shred of compassion. It’s one thing to enforce laws and rules. It’s another to do it gleefully and celebrate the suffering of someone born into poverty and desperation

It's increasingly clear that the president lives in a constructed bubble of unreality designed by aides who are manipulating him in order to take control of US policy. Seems like an important story - wish media would cover it.

Awesome

Wes Moore on Fox & Friends: "Our National Guards are not trained for this ... we know the missions that they are trained for. Municipal policing is not one of them. If we want to be serious about making people safe, let's actually do the things that make people safe."

8,000 people lined over a mile of Drake Road in Kalamazoo, Michigan for No Kings Day! Well done, Kalamazoo!

They told Minnesotans to stay home. After the murder of Speaker Hortman and her husband—and the failed attempts on Senator Hoffman and his wife—fear was the official message.

But the people came anyway. In defiance. In grief. In purpose. This was the #NoKings rally in MN. #BlueSky #MedSky #NewsSky

From No Kings March in Indy!

Kalamazoo Michigan. Huge crowd.

It matters if we don't.

Bragg Soldiers Who Cheered Trump's Political Attacks While in Uniform Were Checked for Allegiance, Appearance As President Donald Trump viciously attacked his perceived political foes, he whipped up boos from the gathered troops directed at California leaders, including Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Outstanding.

The people will be commenting via the No Kings protests the same day, organized by Indivisible. Go to their website to find the closest one.

Stop the ‘good’ vs ‘bad’ snap judgments and watch your world become more interesting Instant evaluations narrow your perspective and limit your mind’s potential to connect and engage with other aspects of your experiences.

Always labeling things as good or bad?
That habit might be shrinking your world.

Drop the snap judgments. Choose “interesting” instead (and don’t even think about clicking that heart below this post).

“The people dreamed and fought and slept as much as ever. And by habit they shortened their thoughts so that they would not wander out into the darkness beyond tomorrow.”
Carson McCullers, "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter," published on this day in 1940

That's an amazing photo.

Thanks for the gift link. Good article.

Probably a lot of it coming from former Catholics.

I watched the Foyle's War series a few years ago, and it struck me how they portrayed everyone depressed in the immediate post war years, and that time even darker than war time. I didn't expect that. It was eye opening.

Looks like a song sparrow to me with that dark spot on the chest.

There was a rather charming trend in the 1910s to introduce the actor at the beginning of the film by showing them first in their street or evening clothes and then dissolving into the costume of their characters. Here we see recent stage import William S. Hart become a bandit in THE BARGAIN (1914).

#VEDay in Britain saw a momentary outbreak of celebration, but the overall mood according to Mass-Observation that spring/summer was one of “war weariness, disappointment, and bewilderment” at the state of the world and the country. Extracts from M-O’s File Report 2268, compiled in late 1945.

At the #indivisible protest in Kalamazoo today.
