I guess we will. I hope you’re doing your part to fight back and build a better future, and if you’re not- I hope today is the day you decide to try to make a difference

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Frogs;
They is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
They hath loosed the fateful lightning of their terrible swift swords;
Their truth is marching on.

Some folks were worried that they'd sic thugs on the protestors or declare martial law. Instead they posted AI videos and complained.

These people have no juice. Their supporters are cowards. They are are all bark and no bite. They collapse when we push back. Remember that.

Protests can and do work, and our country has very little history of general strikes in the last 100 years. So if you’re looking to make a reality where a general strike could even happen, you need to build up community through (this may shock you) widespread protests.

CHOTINER: So you're attending a No Kings protest today.

ME: That's right.

CHOTINER: But according to Steam, you've played over 450 hours of Crusader Kings 3.

ME: Okay, well- Now hold on. That's sort of unfair.

CHOTINER: Oh?

ME: Sometimes I play as a duke or a count.

CHOTINER: I see.

I saw 2 trucks of Trump hecklers drive by during the Red Bank (NJ) No Kings, plus a small group of five Trump Supporters shouting dumb stuff- but easily dwarfed by the thousands of people who turned up against Trump

My mom’s protest signs, as always, are a helluva thing.

A painting of George Washington with NO KINGS in orange ombré letters, in front of an American flag. Mixed media on posterboard. Can you tell she has an MFA?

Bonkers turnout already in Wilmington, NC. Like this on both sides of the street.

Here at our local No Kings.

I’d say turnout is perhaps 4X that of June.

Sorry to inform Mike Johnson, I haven’t run into anyone paid to be here, or “antifa,” or anti-American. Many veterans. Lots of attendees thanking the pair of Fairfax Country policeman strolling around keeping an eye on things.

Weird story, I thought the j geils song "centerfold" was saying "xenephon" for probably ~2 decades.

Let me just say, pretty hard to tell what was going on in the song under those conditions.

By dropping obvious hints that the Anakin after the lava was a fake, Lucas was planting the seed that finally paid off in Episode 9. The Emperor had cloning technology all along.
