Oh my God!? We've been added to the Library of Congress. A literary magazine that I make for fun in my basement as my midlife crisis has been added to the historical record, called the uh, ahem, Taco Bell Quarterly. We are the most prestigious literary magazine of all time.

Been saying this since February, even before I got arrested for protesting. People want Dems to fight, and it’s time to show up.

This is basically the heads up I give to my protest newbie, even though I get us out before things go sideways.

The US Army marched through Washington DC yesterday to commemorate its 250th year. Many officials were in attendance, including Secretary Pete Hegseth. To show his support for the Army, he wore a camo tie. Personally, I think there was a more sophisticated choice 🧵

@msnbc.com reporter at the 1:15 mark. “The chaos you’re seeing is not the result of peaceful protestors, it’s the result of actions of law enforcement, specifically the Los Angeles sheriff’s department.” #nokings

When Tim Walz became Kamala Harris's running mate, progressives highlighted policies passed. It could not have been possible without Melissa Hortman. -Free school breakfast and lunch -Restoring voting rights for felons -Paid leave Great piece by @gracepanetta.bsky.social 19thnews.org/2025/06/rep-...

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

With my mom and several thousand others at the No Kings rally in Dana Point—the biggest political rally I’ve ever seen in South OC. On Flag Day and the Army’s 250th, we remember: the flag stands for freedom, not one man. We honor those who serve—but we don’t serve kings. #NoKings

Greetings! I’m here at Los Angeles City Hall. A group of at minimum ten thousand here for a “No Kings” protest. People spilling out far past the area of Grand Park and City Hall.

Posted up at a local bar for a sammy and a beer while I file my story about today's protests. but here's a story y'all might appreciate. While I was there I saw and older gentleman with this sign.

Honestly I cannot tell you how nice it has been to have Walz just reaffirm what so many of us have been saying. “The road to authoritarianism is littered with people telling you you’re over reacting” at least one official in the party understands and can articulate the reality of the threat we face.

just a reminder that only water goes in your eyes, don’t wear contacts to a protest if you can help it, hot showers will hurt like hell if you have mace or gas residue on your skin. turn off face ID on your phone. pick a buddy & never leave their side. if detained, ask for a lawyer & then shut up.

Okay, all. My honest advice, as someone who has to keep constant tabs on the news for work + also has multiple graduate degrees in global security/intelligence? Step away from social media tonight. Take a break and plan. Whether it's calling your reps, finding a protest, or -
