I hate the term "far left". It is meant to anger people. "Far left" basically means "basic healthcare many of us (or out employers) pay thousands for, from the gov like almost every other thriving country, and don't hold back women and homosexuals just because they scare you by being not you.

There are no words to express how sad I am that I cannot buy a new Penny Arcade t-shirt of Jesus saying "Don't be a dick". I wore it proudly for years... then lost over 150lbs.

Hark, Speaker Mike Johnson! Looking at all the many, many pics of the enormous, joyous “No Kings” rallies throughout the United States today, I am struck by what lovely weather your Lord and Savior provided. Apparently, God is a fan of, as you claimed, "America-hating Antifa terrorists." Glory!

Democracy in action, Illinois.

Proud of our state for peacefully showing up and speaking out together in one voice to fight back against Donald Trump’s takeover of our democracy.

Pritzker: Throughout history we've learned that tyranny doesn't arrive with dramatic proclamations. Most times it comes quietly wrapped in the language of law and order, with fingers pointed at someone who doesn't look like you, promising safety while demanding that we sacrifice our neighbors.

Follow up to my previous Tour de Midnight post. I rode through some wild places. Homemade billboards for the Tea Party, and worse, a Charlie Kirk one saying "Turning Point Heaven", with him led into heaven.
So wild, so angering

I did not make it to a No Kings march today, but I still did something meaningful.
Today I rode the 10th annual Tour de Midnight, which I do every year I can. All of the proceeds from registration fees and extras go to the Epillepsy Foundation of Virginia.

Just in time for the No Kings protest…

“Putin’s Glory Hole” sculptures are popping up all over DC, courtesy of a mystery artist. They’re bolted down, so good luck taking them down.

Support the arts.

Nye: We are here to tell our lawmakers that what's going on in our government is
wrong. They must stop the abuses of this petulant president and his circle of sycophants. No thrones, no crowns, no king
