This account of No Kings II well worth reading.
Yesterday, we had a democratic uprising that swept from the oil fields of Wyoming to the ranch towns of Montana, from Georgia’s Bible Belt to Ohio’s factory suburbs. Regular people. https://open.substack.com/pub/demcastusa/p/they-said-red-america-would-stay?r=art2k&utm_medium=ios
They Said Red America Would Stay Silent. Then It Roared “No Kings.”
From the plains of Wyoming to the pews of Georgia, millions stood in defiance of tyranny. Inside are the voices, colors, and conviction of a nation finding its roar.

I am shocked that President Trump made the decision to bomb three nuclear sites in Iran without authorization from Congress. I believe the President’s action to be unconstitutional because Iran did not pose an immediate or direct threat to the United States.

What is happening right now is not just unprecedented, it is illegal.
There is no national emergency occurring in the United States – deploying the National Guard is a gross violation of the rule of law.

“Tesla’s driverless ‘robotaxis’ could launch in Austin as soon as June 22. But a demo in Austin today showed a $TSLA, manually driven to test its Full Self-Driving system, failed to stop for a child-sized dummy at a school bus—and hit it.”
