The Diplomat writing is refreshing because it is neither tech/CSI nor melodrama but mostly about communication. Anyhoo.

All the MAGA "Antifa is burning the whole country down" claims look pretty fucking stupid after yesterday.

The best influencer slop is "a lot of old people". Ooh scary.

While the protesters at #NoKings were totally peaceful at scale (compare to say, St Paddy's Day), it's beautiful that even big police departments were like "no this was fine, no arrests.

This is the most hope I have had since the Jan6 insurrection failed.

If you've been to rural New England, it's really not.

I even know lefty rednecks in the Carolinas.

Anyway enjoy this song.

This is Maine. We have lefty rednecks too. They like their ATVs and guns too. They just don't pull dick moves like that because they live in a society.

I saw like one truck rolling coal by a protest. Then nothing happened.

I was most concerned about Portland (the other one, Oregon) for obvious reasons.

NYPD reported zero arrests. This is so powerful.

The most violence I saw was two children bopping each other with a baby Trump balloon.

Looks good so far. Haven't heard of any problems. This is important.

Good odds that ICE incites violence at #NoKings on Saturday.

The tell will be the *only* protests with violence will be where ICE shows up.
