“Ugh these protests are just a bunch of libs making noise there’s no organization there’s no movement”

Every single one of these tents is an activist organization signing people up to get organized and take action. You can’t tell me in any sort of good faith that this isn’t a good thing.

tbh, i get judgey vibes from a lot of parents out here. but the earnest parents who aren't afraid to make mistakes and are trying to do their best are my kind of ppl. also, I think a good chunk of parents forget how political parenting is.

for sure, and everyone else. We all need snacks and water.

Sending a text that says "I'm heading out to a no kings rally and then grocery shopping" is peak 2025 midlife mom.

My favorite thing about No Kings is seeing the smaller groups out in places like Redmond, Ashland, Roseburg Oregon, places not usually known as bastions of the left. Send me your small red town no king's photos! 1/2

Big kudos to the good people of Cloverdale Oregon, I heard you had over a hundred people out. For those who don't know, Cloverdale pop. Est is about 180 people and it is in Tillamook County.

Heads up. The food pantries are already strapped. Want to help? Give a few $. Volunteer a few hours.

#SNAP - already insufficient for decent nutrition, but w/o it - in the month of Thanksgiving too - they don't eat at all. Evil. Scripture says those who don't feed the hungry w/b cast into the fires. How much worse for those who actively take food from the hungry.
