We had about 1000 at the #NoKings rally in our rural/exurban red county in MD. This was my favorite:

Well this is as unsettling-but-accurate a Reuters headline as I’ve ever seen.

Imagine what they’ll do when It Happens.

Reuters bringing the context. This is why I subscribe.
Screenshot from Reuters article showing text: "Trump, who routinely describes political rivals, judges and others who stand in his way as "radical left lunatics" and warns that they pose an existential threat to the nation, also decried violent political rhetoric, while casting it as a phenomenon of the political left."

Last night I dozed off while making a to-do list
Scribbled illegibly on notepaper: Wed July 2, a checkbox followed by a triangle (signifying change) then a word that might be self or gulf, then 4 question marks with a line pointing to that word

Being vegetarian apparently makes me lower class, because I got stuck with baked potato and mac 'n' cheese, just like in the 90s.

Whoa. Radicalization is reversible.
Text from New York Times liveblog of No Kings protests: “ One of the attendees at a demonstration in Idaho is Pam Hemphill, who was convicted for her role in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol but then later refused President Trump’s pardon. No longer a Trump supporter, Hemphill posted photos of herself at the demonstration in Boise wearing a “resist” T-shirt.”
