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.

we are not having a lot of luck with institutional pushback - everyone who does is fired and replaced

we are definitely not having any luck with “norms”

what we are having luck with is ordinary people looking at the incompetent bullshit put in front of them and going “absolutely not”

I think in the case of No Kings the broad goal is clear enough: Trump out, the Constitution followed, Stephen Miller in jail, etc.

The lack of a goal absolutely DID undermine the George Floyd protests, though. The real enduring legacy of the Civil Rights movement was that it secured legislation

It’s a TBex @timbeckel.bsky.social · 2d

The missing piece here is the putative goal. The CRM targeted elite and mass persuasion for specific remedies to specific economic and social problems which legislation could address. No Kings is about 1) highlighting Trump’s abuse of power to make him less popular & 2) increase D vote next year.

very funny that JD Vance has so little to do with his time that he goes on podcasts to defend 30-year-old men for saying how much they love Hitler

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 3d

JD Vance dismisses Young Republicans who in a group chat said "I love Hitler" and joked about slavery and rape as "a bunch of kids" who "told stupid jokes" and adds that "most of the stupid things I did when I was a teenager and young adult, they're not on the internet."
