"The original #NoKings protest was 250 years ago. We've had democracy since then. Now we have a would-be king who wants to take it away—King Donald the First. Fuck that. Stand up and be counted in the nationwide No Kings protest on October 18."

Yesterday I went to the river to fly fish. When standing in the river by myself, I think of nothing but a trout rising. But I'm keenly aware that I'm surrounded by millions of living things. Difference species living in harmony. I need these times in the river. It doesn't matter if I fool a trout.

It's wild that we've reached a point where the President openly admits to firing people for political reasons, and his OMB director tweets about it like it's a victory. This is page one of the authoritarian playbook, happening in plain sight.

Don't lose sight of the fact millions will lose their health care if the bill passes and part of the Project 2025 plan was to eliminate federal workers anyway.

@sanders.senate.gov: "No, Speaker Johnson, the #NoKings Rally on October 18th is not a 'hate America' rally. ... It’s a rally of millions of people who believe in American freedom and are not going to allow you and President Trump to turn us into an authoritarian country."
