Some decisions are simple and complex at the same time.

Community folks who are desperate not to lose my voice on the Carrboro Town Council have asked why I am not seeking reelection.

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe.

Will we listen to his words today?

I live in Cordova, Alaska, a small fishing town in Prince William Sound. Your interview this week inspired my April 19 protest sign! #NoKings

You the people have the power, let us all UNITE.

If we weren't getting 16 levels of insanity out of Washington, this attempt to steal an election in North Carolina would be front-page news. It is today at @theprospect.bsky.social, from @gurleygg.bsky.social:

Sometimes, when he fails badly enough, Trump can be forced to do the thing he says he never does: back down.

Today is just one more turn on the roller coaster - but it is more evidence of why we can't give up or let up.

This is accurate. Millions globally and across every single state. 1,300 community protests. From hundreds to hundreds of thousands. We want MAGAs to gets their grubby hands off our democracy. And we want Dems to find their spines. And we're just getting started (again).

This is funny. And the serious problem with the NYT is it misinforms about reality. Not with inaccuracy so much as emphasis, perspective, and framing. That makes it a bad news source. Go to the Guardian, or Wired, or others/ independent sources. You don't need the NYT or LA Times, or WaPo.
Three million Americans marched today. Here’s why we wrote about one American who didn’t.

Goal achieved: An unusual number of people in an unusual number of places. 1,300 globally. There were probably more than 10,000 speakers alone at rallies today. Baffling to think about this scale!
