We were at least three deep the entire route of our #NoKings protest in Carlsbad CA today. And I’ll go out on a limb to say nary a one of us was getting paid, in crypto or stale potato chips.

Oh and yes, there were a LOT of US flags on display at our local #NoKings protest.

Saw a sign today that read: “This Marine wife is pissed. Ft Bragg was the last straw.” Can’t imagine she is alone in that sentiment. I don’t think they want to be used as political pawns. #NoKings

If you take one thing away from today, let it be that we outnumber them.

The number of cars beeping their horns in support of #NoKings protestors along our route would do your heart good. They want us to believe their movement is omnipotent and omnipresent. It is neither.

A big black Ford truck flying a large Trmp/Vnce flag was stopped in traffic next to the protestors and tried to taunt us. A chant immediately went up amongst our group: “little dick energy!” Everyone laughed, including the two in the truck. #NoKings

People here showed up and showed out today, even though the venue changed to the next City over. I’m gonna say at least 600, but likely more in Oceanside/Carlsbad CA. #NoKings

This is what leaders do. A decent leader would cancel parades if any such parades were scheduled.

Be safe out there today, people. Head on a swivel.

Not carrying a phone today, so no pictures. But I’m not staying home. #NoKings

The good news: the marines acted professionally and did not escalate the situation The bad news: the encounter happened in the first place

Not to be morbid, but somewhere in America right now there is a white MeeMaw or PapPap who might very well change the course of history by someday finding themselves at the wrong end of a cop’s riot gun.

To all the christofascist freaks who are thrilled right now that Israel and Iran are launching missiles at each other bc they think this hastens the predicted return of their sky fairy in a plume of flames: Fuck you.

Evidently my suggestion that we meet in the public parking lot near the library, which is right next door to the local police station, was enough to nix that OfferUp sale.

When I look at archival footage of Nazi troops goose stepping to Hitler’s delight, I don’t give them or their generals a pass. So I’m not about to start this weekend. Just doing as ordered is not an excuse. America is not ready for fascism’s destruction of our comforting myths.

When Padilla was like "if they'll do this to a senator, imagine what they'll do to a worker" this is what he meant

While working as a bellboy during college, Henny Youngman tipped me with a photocopied page of his 100 “best” mother-in-law one-liners.

Newsom: "This is what he does. He creates a problem and then he tries to be a hero in his own Marvel movie ... he initiated those raids. He significantly increased the scale and scope of those raids. That's why he wants the National Guard."

Newsom: "He's been a stone cold liar about what he said we talked about. He never discussed the National Guard. Period. Full stop. I would love to share with you what he actually talked about. It would send shivers up your spine."

Say what you will but Gavin Newsom is really good at taking the switch to trump.

We’re going to win, folks. There’s much shit yet to endure but keep pushing back. Keep speaking out. Don’t let anyone convince you the fascists are stronger than we are.
