We should make June 14th No Kings Day permanently.

Authoritarians want you to feel isolated and alone, to feel like their vision of the world is the only one. That’s why taking part in public protests matters. You connect with other people like you and you show those numbers off to the world. It’s a great feeling. Try it!

For comparison for those who don’t live in DC: Trump’s Parade vs. The Washington Nationals World Series Parade on the same street

man that is a tight punchy 1000 words right there

Shout out to the top 5 ings in the world, onion r, happy end, Peter Jenn, Cool Runn and NO K.

yep! unpaywalled:

The *}*#+{! irony of having the Statue of Liberty — famous for welcoming poor, huddled masses — on something that costs $5 mill is a real 🤌🏼

I did my best to compile as many protest safety notes as possible into a one page foldout zine! Coincidentally…it seems the file has breached containment…like it’s available for anyone to print or hand out 👀⚖️ toonyart.com/s/PSZine.pdf

It’s gonna be super awkward when Elon and Trump are in Fleetwood Mac together, but we will get some wonderful music out of it.

. @raypadgett.bsky.social Have you read the new Mike Campbell biography? Lots of great memories of the Heartbreakers backing Dylan, some of which echo stories from your interview with Stan.

A sac fly? A Benson oppo field home run? These may be the end times.
