Boy 1.5C is way back in the rear view mirror. I could have sworn that was the target.

KARL: Why is the Defense Secretary afraid to interact with journalists who cover him?

JOHNSON: I reject the premise

KARL: The guy has only had 2 briefings and he basically forced the press out

JOHNSON: I can't remember a Secretary of Defense who has been so transparent and out in the open

We had a good mix of young and old at our NO Kings protest but we need a lot more young people to get involved. Especially young Men seem to not want to get involved and that a problem. The Democrats need to be more invested in young men and their concerns.

What’s weird is if 5% of white people had voted differently,

or 5% of non voters got off their asses & voted, none of this would be happening.

We cannot deny that the children born now are going to pay the price for the folly of this experiment with full blown fascism.

And didn’t we owe the kids

It's not just the GOP it's the billionaires funding them also. Time to target them.

The thing about No Kings the GOP doesn't seem to get isn't that we hate you as much as it is that we recognize you for what you are.

You're a threat. You're a threat to our lives, our livelihoods, our families, our friends.

We WILL drive you out of power. You haven't given us any other choice.

We were in Solon on SOM and the sidewalk was packed from Solon road to Bainbridge road BOTH sides. Much better turnout than last time.

I've been saying this for some time, we are not including these guys in our protest. They are the ones that are just sitting back and taking no heat. It's time to put these billionaires on notice. TAX THE FUCK OUT OF THEM.

Who has all the money? @amazecraze.bsky.social · 2h

Find the billionaires in this crowd. Oh wait you couldn't. Oh that's right, they were probably too busy making gold offerings to the king.

Zuckerberg, Cook, Musk. They have made their choice quite clear. The tax code must be our bulwark against these traitors.

We had a good mix where we went. But you're right about more young people getting involved. It's their future.

A majority of the people I saw at #NoKings were old enough to have gen Z kids... Someone needs to explain to the youth that THEIR future is on the line!

Coast Guard bought Kristi Noem two private jets (I guess if one breaks down). Cost: $172 million. Is that what you call draining the swamp?
