I was checking out Milwaukee Public Market and I stumbled upon this guy’s shirt!

Y’all here is a fun fact: Portland has a brand new volunteer organization called “operation inflation” that allows people to borrow inflatable costumes for protests. They just started a couple weeks ago and have like a 160 costume library (and counting because people keep donating).

Call me old fashioned but I miss the days when we would all be shocked if a President posted a video of himself flying over protesters and dumping poop on them.

I miss the days when a video like that would have been grounds for instant removal from office.

I miss accountability.

As a kid, multiple times. Loved Clark Gable and
Vivien Leigh in those roles. The story though. 😐

Did you end up watching it?

Finally finished [reading] the book that was way WAY more than 2.5 million words. Probably was a mistake to pick up a slow slice of life novel immediately after. 🫠

Yeah exactly - he was a punk. 😡
(I could probably do it without checking? But like … I wouldn’t be sure. And when you’re working with a fucking car battery imo at least, one should be sure.)

Telling moment: I was walking back from the rally, but a couple miles from it, carrying nothing but my gigantic American flag. An eight year old on his bike sees me with it and yells "No Kings!!" with absolute conviction.

My friends, they have lost the flag.

I would have to watch a yt video to refresh my memory. (I also wouldn’t be a punk if someone offered to do it/jumped my car for me.)

Alt text: A comment from an account called bluesky-helper telling the poster that their account has been suspended and that they need to click a link to avoid being terminated.

Don't click the link.

Slightly off on numbers.
About 100 people, several dogs, and about 60 vehicles.
Not bad for a town of 2500 :)

Probably had 150 folks at our #NoKings car parade thru town.
Not sure of numbers, but we were/are enthusiastic!
I didn't go to the final destination to do postcards and such because too many people in a small enclosed space.
But my heart is with them all!

Today’s No Kings protest could be the largest single-day protest in U.S. history.

People have power.

at first glance, these two signs appear to be giving opposing advice.

one sign says "leave your MAGA husband" and the other says "Fuck the Patriarch" ... now yes, I am SURE the original sign said Fuck the Patriarchy and it was just cut off by whoever took this photo, but you have to admit this is funny.

It's big Trump protest day so that means we are mere hours away from my least favorite Bluesky: the Russian disinfo surge.

Here's how it works, and what you can do about it. 🧵

One of the most TRUE signs I have ever seen at a march. Write this down and act upon it, friends.
