Didn't take long, did it?

Good discussion with @gregsargent.bsky.social on No Kings and the right to protest: "They’re trying to turn it into something really evil. But that’s because they’re scared of it, and they know it turns public opinion... I think they should be worried, because nothing they’re doing is popular."

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 16h

If Republicans are going to label you a terrorist for peacefully protesting Trump's failing presidency, abuses of power, and treatment of blue America as an enemy nation, let's turn out in even bigger numbers.

On the pod, @jilldlawrence.bsky.social and me on this:

MAGA Rage at “No Kings” Boils Over—and It Quickly Backfires on Trump

As Trump allies smear the coming protests, a good writer on MAGA skewers the absurdity of these attacks on large swaths of Americans—and explains why our best recourse will be to turn out in force.

What hubris by Janet Mills. We are way, way, way overdue for younger leadership. Not just in Maine, either. No more out of the Boomer (& older) generation. NO.

Qasim Rashid, Esq. @qasimrashid.com · 13h

Janet Mills has announced a run for U.S. Senate. If elected, she would be 85 at the end of her first time.

If you care about democracy, generational renewal, and leadership that actually serves working people—You should want new leadership in Graham Platner.

We don’t get to choose our heroes. They show up and stand up and build foundations of greatness. There can be no doubt that Miss Major Griffin-Gracy was the hero we needed and she spent her whole life showing that to us. Yesterday, we lost a legend, a friend, and a mother. Rest in power.

“I don’t need their permission to exist, I exist in spite of them. I want you to train and teach and love on and create families within my community and gender non-conforming people, so that we can understand that we have a culture, we have a history, we have a reason to be here. We have a purpose. We’re entitled to be loved, and seek happiness, and share that with the people that we care about.”

How would that Asshole know when’s the last time he was in a grocery store like NEVER. He’s has cooks, chefs,TACO emloyees do his bidding or goes to restaurants. Probably never stepped in a grocery store or a kitchen. What like once in McDonald’s for a photo op.
