You should always have Donald J. Trump eulogize you, because you can be absolutely, without-a-doubt certain he will make it about how awesome he is and how much you agreed.

The MAGA-GOP is terrified because they know everything they've done is deeply unpopular—to say nothing of how they've done it—and that there are far more of us than there are of them. This weekend, we should demonstrate in no uncertain terms that is true. #NoKings ❌👑

MAGA Rage at “No Kings” Boils Over—and It Quickly Backfires on Trump

As Trump allies smear the coming protests, a good writer on MAGA skewers the absurdity of these attacks on large swaths of Americans—and explains why our best recourse will be to turn out in force.

This brings the number of people summarily executed by our government's military off the coast of Venezuela to 27, with still no information as to their identities and no justification for their deaths beyond the government saying "We think they were bad people."

Breaking News: A U.S. military strike killed six people on a boat in international waters near Venezuela, President Trump said, asserting without evidence that they were drug smugglers for an unspecified group his team had labeled terrorists.

Meiselas: What do you say to people who say while Governor Mills has been a great governor, she’s 77 years old, and we need younger leadership?

Mills: It’s a fair point… But I don’t think I could live with myself if I didn’t do everything I can to reverse what’s going on in Washington

I appreciate the way Gov. Mills has stood up to the Trump regime and respect her experience, but if I were a Maine voter, I'd rather see her support the much-younger Graham Platner and give him the advice and connections he can use to beat Susan Collins.

Honestly, it needs to go further than this.

We need to confront the fact that democracy and wealth hoarding cannot coexist. Allowing people to amass the resources of a small state/country allows them to act as such, which is inimical to a shared society of “one person, one vote.”

John Rogers @johnrogers.bsky.social · 1d

“No Kings” is great , but we really don't get a functioning democracy back until we internalize, bone deep, the instinctive response to this and every other statement like it: “I don’t care what that rich guy thinks.”

Make it your morning affirmation. Say it ten times at the top of every hour.
