Yesterday was by most yardsticks, political and sociological, historic; the @nytimes.com wrote about it on page A23.

I’m still owed payment from the first rally and I’m unclear if going to two rallies yesterday will earn me double or only time and a half for the day. I also have questions about meal breaks and span of day so am in the process of contacting the Antifa Deputy.
3) That unspoken but felt solidarity curbed the cotton mouth and rapid heartbeat. So in our morning after study of the semiotics of homemade placards, this sign - caught in social media, not in the streets - expresses the mystery of October 18th's historic impact with genuine wisdom.
2) Apprehension pushed some into fight or flight survival mode. A vicious cycle ensued. Yesterday, speeches stirred us, sure. But not as much as standing shoulder-to-shoulder with anonymous allies who've weathered the sh*t storm.
1) In late 2025, it's safe to say we suffer from collective trauma. What shocked the body politic in January like the cold plunge of the Polar bear swimmers, minus beneficial jolts to the cardiovascular system. It devolved into quotidian triggers: bad news fed our disquietude; unease created dread.
Has anyone seen any member of the press, any reporter, demand that a Republican back up their ludicrous claim that protestors were "paid"? This pernicious myth has persisted since June, and journalists refuse to demand evidence to support the lie. Therein lies the crucial issue of media distrust.
MAGA cynically anticipated Kent State (5/4/70) but witnessed a patriotic happening much closer to Hands Across America (5/25/86). They can mischaracterize protest's motives, project violent intent on practiced pacifism, but the sneering party of Jan 6 apologists cannot change facts, truth, history.
Keep your eye on CBS - Weiss in control of the propaganda roll-out - making sure that every action against Trump is compartmentalized as threat-free to his continued ascension. It's the most insidious grip on media in decades, and it's been entirely normalized. CBS, Canary in our coalmine.
MAGA trolls are out in droves, pretending that a loathed despot with 37% approval/61% disapproval is really beloved and triumphing, and that yesterday's reports were entirely media exaggeration. Quantifying optics don't lie and those who participated know yesterday was historic.

The antifa terrorist marxists are out
On the 17th day of the shutdown, a million bucks a head.
The lying, hypocritical Republican Party, which bent over backwards to help confirm a dangerous charlatan, is now working 24/7 to make sure we understand their personal disavowal of his conspiracies. It's the ultimate MAGA metaphor: serve a mad king, whisper rebuttal.

Trump clocks in at 37%-61% in new AP-NORC poll. It’s the worst poll of his rancid 2nd term. Happy No Kings Day!
