Feed cleanse: here’s a video of my dog, Samantha, passionately protesting the cruel injustice of her new diet.

She finds it highly offensive.

Sound up—her argument is loud, clear, and absolutely unhinged.

Antifa is not a real organization. It's simply an acronym, a philosophy - it means anti-fascist.

And every American President - before the current one - has opposed fascism.

Let's take back our flag.

The only arrests I’ve heard about from the No Kings rallies were Trump supporters threatening peaceful protestors…

Yesterday Was a Day of Love: 7 million Americans marched in peace and love to say: No Kings.

Trump called it hate but it was the largest act of love for democracy in U.S. history — and 24 hours later, it’s still the #1 social media trend! Pls read & share👇👇👇

After missing Nashville this morning we went to Murfreesboro. This was right near the end, the crowd was thinning. As we were walking to the car some jerk in a truck "rolled coal" on the protesters. As we were driving home we saw the truck, pulled over by the cops and getting busted. 🤣

If you need a reminder why #NoKings—and movements like it—matter, this is it.

We must be so loud that mainstream media, Trumplicans, MAGA, and everyone who enabled this can’t ignore our peaceful dissent.

This is what democracy looks like.

Next #NoKings: October 21st.

Trump: "Don't forget I can use the Insurrection Act. 50% of the presidents almost have used that. And that's unquestioned power."

My little town in Red Kentucky had 1000 people attending today. Much joyful honking from cars and only a couple of ugly comments.

I’m not going to use the term #antifa any more. The right have co-opted the term to mean something scary and violent. I’m just going to say #antifascist

What we saw at the No Kings rallies--joy in the community that had come together, but also alarm for the future of the country. And the significance of the success of No Kings, and what that could portend for the future.

No Kings Madison, Wisconsin
My favorite sign so far.

Sign that reads “Just another nasty, radical Grandma — and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the proper punctuation.
