Glad to see those with big platforms and audiences continue to speak out.

A tweet from Marco Foster reads: “Actor John Cusack: ‘The whole country was founded on no kings. We have masked goons roaming the streets, hiding their faces, abducting people. Go to hell. If he thinks this place is gonna be a fascist hub, no chance.’” Below, a CNN video screenshot shows John Cusack wearing dark sunglasses, a black jacket, and a cap, speaking to a blonde reporter outdoors with police visible in the background. The caption reads: “ACTOR JOHN CUSACK ATTENDS ‘NO KINGS’ RALLY IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.”

Got buried in the news this weekend, but President Jesus said the F word on CNN at like 2pm in the afternoon. The next day he posted a poop-filled scat video, but tell Me more about the dignity of the office of the presidency.

Unfortunately I know how everyone in my family will vote and it will for sure be the wrong choice. They are in the cult and will never wake up.

When do you think Trump and Republicans will realize they drove up No Kings protest attendance by calling it a “hate America rally”?

She nails it🔥

“I am a patriot and I will not… let anyone tell me that I am not here because I love my country.”

The MAGA crowd seems very triggered that yesterday’s protest was historic, their comments are everywhere. In total, 22 MAGA individuals were arrested for attempting to attack peaceful protesters. Arrests were made in OH, KY, CA, SC, NC, MI, OR, FL, VA, TX, and PA.

I didn't get a picture of the best sign I saw today, but I remember what it said:

Somewhere in America
A little Hispanic girl
Is hiding in an attic
And keeping a diary.

Nothing could change my mind on the man who is actively destroying our country and has 34 felonies and was best friends with Jeffery Epstein. Nothing.

Telling moment: I was walking back from the rally, but a couple miles from it, carrying nothing but my gigantic American flag. An eight year old on his bike sees me with it and yells "No Kings!!" with absolute conviction.

My friends, they have lost the flag.

Fall is beautiful right now at Catawba Falls in Old Fort, NC, just outside Asheville. Pics were taken while hiking there yesterday morning. There's still time to visit & experience the majesty of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the fall. Nothing quite like it!
