So it was the "No Kings" marches versus the "No Crowds" parade

Thank to all the @dailybeanspod.com listeners who reserved trump parade tickets but went to #NoKings protests instead. It’s because of people like us that they expected 200K but got fewer than 10K - generating images like this.

Plenty of hotel capacity in DC tonight. Doesn’t look like a big crowd in town for Dear Leader’s parade tomorrow. #NoKings

Trump just figured out that undocumented workers play a vital role in America’s economy after all. Now, maybe ICE will start targeting criminals, instead of hardworking people just trying to raise their families.

On 6/12, DHS Sec’y Kristi Noem said “We are staying here to liberate [LA] from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and mayor have placed on this country and this city.” This use of military force to displace a democratically elected is the very definition of a coup.

Picking radishes is no easy task. Efrén spends 8-10 hrs/day on his knees, picking and sorting the radishes into small bunches to fill dozens of crates a day in CA's Ventura County. He's proud to have worked in America's fields for 49 years. #WeFeedYou
