MAGA calling us the America Haters reminds me of Trump calling everyone deranged. This psychological trick needs a clever Trump name.

Head to a protest today. I can almost promise you will feel less hopeless. That's exactly what they don't want. There are more of us than there are of them.

My town's mayor just announced they'll be closing off roads & parking lots where our #NoKings rally is scheduled to happen at 4 pm. In addition, they have township trucks blocking all access to the dropoff ballot boxes! If they do this in SmallTown, USA, they'll do it in YOUR town, too!

A conversation with my 92yr old Dad this morning about the No Kings protests today and the danger of protesting. He worried about me getting trampled or worse. I explained that if we don't stop this regime now they will come for all of us next. Being a child during WW2 he knew exactly what I meant.

Is politics weighing on you? Does it ever make you feel alone, like "everyone" is on board with awful things and "no one" cares (or close)?

Then you should go to a No Kings protest. That feeling isn't uncommon, but it's a trick. Go be around some of the many people who agree with you. You'll see.
