if you're going to a protest today I wish you luck. The only specific thing I will beg of you is this: don't use milk to wash out tear gas or mace. if you see a street medic with milk, yell at them until they throw it out. do not continue to spread lies about emergency medicine.

As promised, if you’re inspired by the march today but don’t know how else to get involved, how to sustainably fight fascism, that can look a few different ways. Here’s a thread of thoughts, short of nationwide withholding of labor / sustained protest:

No Kings protest in The Woodlands, Texas (north suburban Houston). This is the first such protest to occur in the community. I overheard a number of folks telling others that they had never attended such an event before but had gotten to the point of feeling they needed to do something.

Sanders: It is in danger when we have a president who grossly violates the constitution by accepting gifts from foreign leaders including a $400 million plane from the royal family of Qatar and then allows that family to build an air force facility in Idaho.

Easy to forget or even outright miss if you don't follow things like me but North Carolina Democratic Party was the first, and I believe remains the only, state Democratic Party to label Israel an apartheid state and call for a total arms embargo, offensive and defense, until apartheid ends.

Can report back from the Charlotte No Kings that "free Palestine" is now, if not the normie lib position, then at least fully accepted among the normie libs. Lots of signs and flags scattered about, no apparent drama at all.

Almost unbelievable how much better college football is with player salaries, NIL, and the transfer portal. Simultaneously fixed CFB's original sin of unpaid players AND made the on-field competition significantly more entertaining. one of the biggest Ws in the history of American sports

Chris Vannini @chrisvannini.com · 1d

It's a new era of college football where anything is possible:

- Vanderbilt is 6-1 for the first time since 1950

- Georgia Tech is 7-0 for the first time since 1966

- Indiana's No. 3 ranking is its highest ever

All in the playoff mix. This is fun.

If you were out in the streets today, thanks. If you left feeling inspired, please seek out local ways that you can keep organizing with others.

I didn't take pics but the feeling of being in a group of people with no visible beginning or end was so thrilling. The opposite of online anomie, and a living counterpoint to the wary, isolated, compartmentalized world the shitheads want to make. It's simple and obvious I guess but it means a lot.

Something maybe worth noting is that all the frog costumes and signs and good-natured memeing came about because a wide spectrum of Americans saw someone in direct, brave confrontation with ICE—getting pepperballed and standing their ground—and thought “that’s awesome. That person is a hero”
