Living with an autoimmune disease and with family members with Celiac Disease this gives me hope. One day we will be able to stop our immune system from attacking our own body. Hopefully in my lifetime! 💪💞🤞🕊️

Went to No Kings gathering in Marble Falls, TX, a county which voted 80% for Trump, and more than 500 folks gathered on bridge over Lake. Wow. So Amazing.

Our little town of 3k, Petersburg Alaska, turned out around 500 people for the No Kings rally, in the pouring rain.
It was awesome!

Historians of the future: Rest assured, millions of us know all this in real time. We are horrified, shocked, enraged, and ashamed. We are acting, in a thousand ways, to oppose it. This cannot, and will not, be how the United States ends. trib.al/0islLh9

My 14-year-old self would never have guessed that, in 50 years' time, all the world's music would be available at the click of a button, you'd navigate the globe by carrying a tiny computer around in your pocket, and the US President would post a video of himself shitting over American citizens.

I'll be writing it up later but main takeaways from New Braunfels #nokings:
- people love the inflatables. Massive endorsement of an absurdist approach. Also people brought bubble machines.
- strong church showing. Sincere "no kings but Jesus" signs, Bible quotes
- Flags, red/white/blue everywhere

✅ Dems have overperformed an avg of 15 pts across 42 Special Elections so far this year, winning 27 of them including *flipping* 3 GOP seats!

There's 30+ more coming up!

Massive #NoKings turnout is good but you also need to VOTE FOR DEMS.

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress nearly a month ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in. Why the delay? Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

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.
