Was so looking forward to a quiet and peaceful day off full of sleep tomorrow, alas I fear the sportsball fans descending on our neighborhood will ensure that doesn’t happen. Sigh.

Hey @democrats.org @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov: when the gov does reopen every democratic voter in the country NEEDS for you all to at least call for impeachment. Even knowing chances are slim. WE NEED YOU TO CALL FOR IT! #DoSomething

BREAKING: This is in Trump's back yard. Washington DC No Kings Day Protest. This is just the start of the day.

It is absolutely unbelievable how many people are turning out for this. I love how everyone is staying peaceful. It's exactly what Trump doesn't want.

Across all the major outlets — NYT, WSJ, WaPo, LAT, CNN, ABC, CBS, Fox News, NBC, CNBC, NPR, Bloomberg — the only outlet without a No Kings story on its home page is CBS News.

For every other outlet, it's near the top. Even Fox News is running with "Nationwide unrest looms as thousands mobilize"

When I see a prominent theatre company actively pushing AI content on stage, I decide to just never buy another ticket to them. We should be shunning AI in our industry, not helping it along…..

ABOLISH ICE and EXPAND THE SUPREME COURT should be mainstream Democratic promises and talking points.

But timidity and civility will rule the day and screw the rest of us and this country in the end.

I urge our nation to use this weekend's No Kings marches as a declaration of independence against the tyranny and lawlessness currently running this country.

Use your voice. ACT PEACEFULLY. Protect yourself and your community.

THERE ARE NO KINGS IN THE UNITED STATES.
