Third Actors turned out for #NoKingsDay all across Maryland, incl. serving as safety marshals and co-organizers for a combined #TeslaTakedown and #NoKingsOnThePike rally. 5,000 people lined a nearly 2-mile stretch of Rockville Pike in Rockville. @thirdactorg.bsky.social #Democracy #NoKings

When we were starting @thirdactorg.bsky.social three years ago, experts told us "it will be hard--people become more conservative as they age." Judging from the pictures I've seen of today's protests, elders have turned out in staggering force. We know how abnormal Trumpism really is

Tiny town deep in the mountain heart of Stefanik’s district. Trump carried the election here by a mile. But people have had enough #NoKings

Outraged. Federal agents tackled and handcuffed Sen. Alex Padilla while he was doing his job. Some of us are old enough to have witnessed scenes like this in the fascist nations we fought in WWII. None of us have ever seen anything quite like it in the U.S. before today.

Third Actors watch with dismay the events unfolding in Los Angeles, as the Trump administration tries to gin up a confrontation by brazen assaults on immigrant communities.

This mornings standout at L.L. Bean's headquarters was a big success! It felt great to see so many L.L. Bean employees wave at us and honk their horns in support as they turned into the L.L. Bean parking lot. #LLBeanDropCiti #ActOnClimate @thirdactorg.bsky.social @stopmoneypipeline.bsky.social

Good news from CA! The #PollutersPay Climate Superfund Act (#AB1243) passed the Assembly Natural Resources Committee 9–4. Frontline communities have paid enough—now it’s time for Big Oil to pay. Sign the petition: actionnetwork.org/petitions/ca... #WevePaidEnough #ClimateJustice #MakePollutersPay

55 years ago, 20M marched for the first #EarthDay, fueled by this photo of Earth from space. They won the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, the EPA. Now, those protections are being undone. The planet is more tattered now—but still sublime. Still worth fighting for. #EarthDay2025 #ClimateAction

When Elizabeth Kolbert asks @thirdactorg.bsky.social's Bill McKibben if he feels at all hopeful: "Our species is now fully capable, in short order, of moving from an energy source that’s concentrated in a few hands in a few places to one that’s diffuse and ubiquitous, available everywhere."
