Caution, Sir! I am eternally tired of hearing that word caution. It is nothing but the word of cowardice!

Assuming these figures are correct, what are we going to do with it?

Protests alone are not going to be enough. The fascists aren't going to say "Oh no! The people are angry!" then find Jesus. We need to start leveraging this momentum quickly.

Similar happened in Florida

If Paul ain't careful, he'll be meeting Charlie Kirk.

It's Florida, people. Who's running Florida?

She'll be pardoned. If even indicated, tried and convicted.

This needs to happen monthly. At minimum.

There needs to be another protest soon. Next month. Then every month after.

But I think we need a new name, something more on the nose.

Fuck Fascists Day.

Today at No Kings I saw some signs with the sentiment, “Trump is a baby that shits his diaper!” I thought, “hmm that seems a little juvenile.” Little did I know that the president would be tweeting out confirmation of that fact not an hour later

The left is melting down at the now iconic “diarrhea President”

DavidDecherd 📎 @ddekhard.bsky.social · 21h

Exactly! At minimum every month

Why can’t every month have a No Kings Day? 😩

That's not my holiday wish

Some will resign. Maybe a third. No more than half. And I'm pulling those numbers out of my ass.

The point is, we need to be prepared to deal with the rest.

This is hood BUT very soon we need to not disperse and turn one of these rallies into a general strike.

Very soon.

So no terrorism then?

I will be attending a separate event today, so I attended a much smaller No Kings yesterday in Bisbee, Az.

To everyone hitting the main event today - Good luck. Be heard. Be seen. Be safe. I'm with you in spirit.

But don't start the war without me.

If Ukraine makes ANY concessions, I will be greatly disappointed with Zelenskyy. I'm sure he cares, but still.

Total and complete Russian withdrawal.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 2d

Zelenskyy is taken aback by a question from a right-wing propagandist who asks him what concessions he's willing to make to Putin

Any MAGAts, uniformed or not. There is nothing to discuss, nothing to debate. You cannot change minds. It's a waste of time to try.

Absolutely. They must be eliminated, completely. No negotiation, no amnesty, no quarter.

We let the Confederacy off way too light and look what happened.

The military is not trained to deal with treason from high up.

Resigning may be the best course of action. This opens some avenues not available while in uniform.
