We handed out fliers for #nokings on Oct 18th. We were surprised how many young folks didn’t know about it but were really excited to learn! Talking to people IRL & giving them a piece of paper works.

They are not planning "a violent crackdown" on 10.18. What they are doing is sending a signal to their shock troops to try to cause havoc. But those shock troops will be vastly outnumbered. Go out and protest freely. Do not be cowed.

Had Dems had the guts to do this, Trump wouldn't be President, Thune wouldn't be majority leader, and the democracy would better reflect the will of the people.

It's really important to show up for each other in this moment. If you're in the area, I highly recommend that you come out in solidarity today. Meet some people. Make some plans. Do some organizing. Save some democracy.

yeah it's not perfect. I'm not sure what form of pressure is ideal here - boycott (app store?), protests, etc. I will say, Disney/ABC pressure worked even though CBS/Paramount/etc are bad too.

Anybody doing some organized pressure around this? A "bad Apple" campaign? A "There's an app for that but you're capitulating to fascists" campaign?

Finally, Pritzker says more Dems must sound the alarm, though he notes some exceptions (like Chris Murphy).

"I am surprised that more leaders have not stood up," he says.

He urges people to join No Kings protests to let the country know something's wrong. 5/5

Trump using the executive branch to go after his political opponents. He wants to divide and conquer. We win by treating an attack on one like an attack on all.

Registration helps organizers gauge how many folks are coming and prepare, and it helps us brag after the fact, and follow up with folk for next steps. Some people have feels about RSVPing for protests, and I'm not going to say everybody 100% has to RSVP - more important to me that you show up.

Kelly asking why Fine and Petronis got sworn in on pro forma, Johnson says it has to do with being on recess.

The fact that this coming 9 days before the largest peaceful protest in modern American history is absolutely intentional. We will not back down. Trump and Miller can lie, smear, and threaten all they want. They will lose. No Kings, No Kings, No Kings. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

I find this encouraging, from @indivisible.org:
A defining feature of an emerging authoritarian regime is that it makes the opposition feel like shit on a daily basis. Every day, there is some new atrocity committed; some new institution attacked; some new democratic norm demolished. Some of it -- much of it -- we have little ability to stop in the moment. But that’s not how to measure the health of an anti-authoritarian movement. Instead, we should measure it this way: Are we more unified than we were before? Are we bigger than we were before? Are our tactics proliferating? Is the regime’s popularity falling?
