I went to bed last night comforted by these exact thoughts.

So many things have
torn us apart for so long, but when the Portland #NoKings march goes under the Hawthorne Bridge and everyone shouts as loud as they can and everyone is getting high on the collective roar we make you realize this thing is bringing us together and get shivers in your frog suit

He and JD both post AI slop in response to today. They know they're losing.

Walking through the crowd, I heard someone behind me say, "this is my mom's first protest." I turned around to see a woman in her 70s. All I could think to say was, "can I give you a hug?"

notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”?

anyway that’s why these events are important

I have a rhetorical question. How stupid a cop do you have to be to think it's a smart idea to tackle and pin someone in giant inflatable penis costume in front of plenty of people with cameras?

#NoKings event in Fairhope, Al.
A woman was arrested for "lewd conduct" because she was dressed in penis suit with a sign that said "No dick-tator"
3 cops on a 53 yo woman.

for real though this middle aged lady in Alabama getting carted off for dressing like a penis might have accomplished more today than many of the rest of us put together

Well, you can finally cross “I’ve seen a handcuffed, inflatable penis” off your bucket list

I looked through photos all morning for a good #birdoftheday capture, then this buddy and I had a whole conversation as I was leaving Whole Foods this afternoon. #birds #birdphotography

A black bird sitting atop a sign, looking directly at the camera, with a gloomy, cloudy sky behind him.

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.

Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

If you’d told me a year ago that I’d be genuinely moved by seeing people wearing the same inflatable frog costume in cities around the globe …

Find a No Kings protest Saturday and go!

Don't worry that you've never been to a protest before. Don't worry about being dressed wrong or looking out of place. Don't worry that you don't agree about everything -- or even about much -- with lots of people at the protest.

Reverend David Black is here shaming the cops.

"You're arresting us? Look at yourselves. Look at yourselves.

You know which side you're on and I don't think you want to be there.

And you have that choice."

Try to stay safe and remember your constitutional rights. Don’t resist, keep your hands clear and visible, and stay silent.

Remember that anything you say or do can be used against you. Arguing or resisting may give police an excuse to arrest you.

Trump could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and Mike Johnson would say he hadn’t seen that and so won’t comment on it.

Q: What's your message to the 170 US citizens who have been detained by ICE? About 20 of them are children

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know what you're talking about with the children. I haven't seen that so I'm not going to comment on it.

Quick reminder for Saturday: please do not post photos of others' faces online without their express permission.

AI facial recognition is a tool of this regime. Don't make anyone else a target unless they're prepared to take the risk and consent.
