Organizers have reported 7 million attendees at the No Kings events and we’re happy to confirm 7 million and counting! More events are still happening across the country today, so we’ll need additional time to fully certify the final numbers.

ICE's military raids and masked kidnappings are resonating deeply/negatively in the cultural spaces we keep hearing Dems need to reach: Manosphere, Joe Rogan, country music, disengaged voters. That's rare and it gives Dems a big opening to engage.

Thoughts on this:

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

YES ON 50, CALIFORNIA!

It's a temporary solution to what will become an intractable problem if it doesn't pass. We cannot let Trump and the GOP steal unrestrained power. It's bad enough that SCOTUS refuses to rein him in - if he is able to commandeer Congress, democracy is over for US.
