Writer, reader, bookseller. Insistent, persistent, and consistent. And these days, resistant. I’m still laughing if it’s funny.

They aren’t trying to erase history because they’re embarrassed by it. They’re trying to erase history because it’s their current playbook.

OUTRAGEOUS: A man who witnessed an immigration raid at a shopping plaza in Los Angeles was forcefully removed from his car and taken into custody for simply filming the activity.

Welcome to Trump’s Amerika. 😡

To be clear - the No Kings protest was one of the largest protests in US history (probably second largest).

It’s worth a front page mention, you absolute clowns.
I looked at the digital homepages for the NY Times, Washington Post, NBC, and CBS - none of them had anything about the protests

They told Minnesotans to stay home. After the murder of Speaker Hortman and her husband—and the failed attempts on Senator Hoffman and his wife—fear was the official message.

But the people came anyway. In defiance. In grief. In purpose. This was the #NoKings rally in MN. #BlueSky #MedSky #NewsSky

This assassination makes the Minnesota house even. I'm waiting for the first Republican Minnesota state legislator to commit to sit out votes until Rep. Hortman is replaced - otherwise Republicans are hugely benefiting from and complicit in this sort of political violence.

The NO KINGS! movement will rise up on Saturday, from Concord and Lexington, from Gettysburg and  Philadelphia, from 1800 cities, towns and villages across the United States, to raise an epic cry of protest against Trump’s monarchical abuses of power.

From Tom Paine in 1776 to Main Street in 2025: No Kings!
Americans have a right to assemble and a right to petition for the redress of grievances. They will use those rights this weekend to resist Trumpism.

Today in D.C., thousands of veterans are rallying against President Trump’s cuts to the Department of Veterans Affairs and his slashing of staff throughout the government.

“I didn’t think I’d be doing this at my age, but I can’t stand by,” said Reed Radcliffe, 68, who spent two decades in the Navy.
They served the nation. Now, these veterans say they’re protesting to save it.
