I’ve been reposting all of the crowd videos of today’s NO KINGS rallies because at some point they’ll try to say it didn’t happen.

Does your local coffee shop look like this?

If not, it’s probably because:
1) zoning created large distances between housing & shops.
2) the streets between housing & shops are unsafe for biking.
3) there isn’t any/enough secure bike parking

1/2

5 bikes including 3 cargo bikes are parked outside Wildflyer Coffee

Record after record after record...
34.9C today in the Cameroonian port of Douala:
Hottest October day in history (data since late 1800s).

Every single tropical country is smashing the 2023/2024 heat records no-stop, every single day.
Never happened anything like this.

I love this so much

Eleanor points out that Portland's heroes tend to be offbeat, independent creative thinkers, which explains why the city is such a ripe target; the administration is cracking down on artists, she says, "because we point out what is true." And absurd metaphors are a serious matter; when armed federal agents tackle a clarinet player in a banana costume, it draws attention to the disproportionate gap between the perceived threat and the official response. "What I love about what's happening in Portland is that we're refusing the binary of 'cower or fight," she says. “As a city of creative weirdos, we're claiming a third option: irreverence, humor, joy as resistance. And here's the thing - fascists have no counter-argument to that. They can't match wits. Theirs is not a culture of humor, because humor requires surprise and creativity, the exact opposite of control and conformity. You can't legislate against a naked bike ride or a dance party."

Protesters formed a human banner Saturday morning at S.F.'s Ocean Beach, spelling out “NO KINGS” and “YES ON 50,” encouraging the passage of a measure on the November ballot to redraw California’s congressional districts in response to Texas’ GOP-focused remapping.

A stable, functioning democracy is often unassuming, boring even. Easy to take for granted.

But this - millions coming together in a shared public space to insist on their rights as democratic citizens - is a mighty reminder that a proper democracy is something quite incredible and inspiring.

So we let the two supposed narco terrorists go rather than have the Trump admin show their proof in a US court.
