Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

"[The first 'No Kings' event back in June], which attracted millions of people, was almost comedically star-spangled in its affect and remarkably peaceful in its execution."

"No Kings is happening, and this is how Republicans are talking about it.

Accusations like 'terrorist wing,' 'pro-Hamas,' and 'Antifa' aren’t just insults. They’re phrases that unlock, in the view of the administration, a permission structure for state violence."
