Mixed child. Father. Liberal. Oregon born, still in the Portland metro. I don't post much - repost often. As long as the journalists are here so am I. - And yes, it will get dumber.

Seeing, “Sure it was big, but…” posts tonight. I think for one day we can just say, “Wow, good job everybody” and leave the handwringing and second guessing for tomorrow.

Retired Army Sgt. Brian Wofford spoke to me this morning at the Oklahoma City #NoKings protest. Didn’t expect him to be carrying his DD214 so I asked some warmup questions like when he got out and whether his injury was service-related.

He paused while describing the car bomb in Iraq to say this:
Yes! I love this time of year 😍

South Koreans held their government accountable earlier this year. And now they’re protesting for American’s rights and democracy on No Kings too!

Thank you South Korea! #NoKings ❌👑

“who cares” would be a titch more credible if they hadn’t spent all week whining about the rallies in advance.
"Who cares?" says the president about a day of peaceful NO KINGS protest in approximately 2,500 cities, towns, villages all over the United States, and in many other parts of the world.

I’ve seen just one counter-protester at No Kings San Diego. He’s got a Trump 2024 flag and this guy has been following him around for probably an hour playing Benny Hill and circus music.

Oregonians: tag me in your photos of no kings rallies across our state today so I can show the country how Oregon shows up to say “hell no” to kings.

Harrisburg, PA — there are so many older women in banana suits at the Capitol holding antifa signs and none of that sentence would have made sense to me 10 years ago

My friend Andrew Lih @fuzheado.bsky.social is a freakin hero. A gunman came into his Wikipedia event, and he grabbed and disarmed him. Thanks to him and another brave volunteer, no one was hurt—not even the gunman.

Now let’s ask why we accept a society where this can happen at any large gathering.

I know you all know what deranged, vile, propaganda nonsense this is. But for the record:

Leaders of the regime are declaring the opposition party and all forms of political dissent as illegitimate - and large swaths of the population to be dangerous terrorists. This is incredibly dangerous.
Mike Johnson on No Kings: "We refer to it by its more accurate description -- the Hate America Rally. You're gonna bring together the Marxists, the socialists, the antifa advocates, the anarchists, and the pro-Hamas wing of the far left Democrat Party. That is the modern Democratic Party."
