What a juxtaposition of images in this video

This my sign

About 1.5% of the U.S. population protested today. (Closer to 1.9% if you only count the adult population.)

FIVE. MILLION. PEOPLE.

There were more people at the No Kings protest in Boise, Idaho

One block over from the White House: the aspirational security line setup

More evidence this is not actually a celebration of our military, but something attempting to entertain Dear Leader.

Traverse City MI (where I played Cherry Fest 1986 slapping a bass 🤷🏻) Proud to see peaceful protest as far as the eye can see today #nokings ❤️ 🇺🇸

It's been really heartening to see groups of No Kings protesters at nearly every overpass on 81 in VA. I was feeling bummed that I couldn't get to a protest today, but every time I wave back at folks, I get a little more emotional.

This is the one I was a part of, but they didn't want us all on the bridge, so we spread out and faced the street!

If you're ever traveling down 81 I'm Virginia and need some food, check out the local restaurants and food trucks in Harrisonburg!

I can't tell you how invigorating and inspiring and hopeful it is to be in a crowd of people who also care. Took a group of teens to the last big protest and they were most struck by no longer feeling alone. If you're able to go, I encourage you to try. Get a group of friends & go together.

TYRANNY IS HERE: US citizen, minding his own business on his way to work, gets ambushed by ICE, dragged out of his car, thrown in cuffs, and treated like a criminal — in his own country. This is the price you pay for simply existing in America today.

A fun side effect of ranked-choice voting is seeing some candidates team up and say good things about each other!

#NoKings

Can you tell what it's going to be? Any guesses?

Doesn't the way Israel did these surgical strikes in Iran to take out their military/nuclear leadership indicate that they could've done the same with Hamas, instead of committing genocide in Gaza?

“OMG they’re rioting in L.A.!!” Meanwhile, in the beautiful landscape that is Nuestra Señora de Los Angeles. 💙

Fun fact: in the 1960s, Civil Rights protestors were given literal classes on nonviolent protest; they didn't all just spontaneously know what to do. So, if you're planning on showing up, this weekend: read this comic. And if you're staying home, signal-boost it/link it around.

I have a joke about Aphrodite. You're going to love it!
