This is ONE stretch of ONE side of the street in deep red, small town Knoxville, TN today.
This is a city that Trump won in 2024 by 20+ points.
The scope of these protests are massive—American from both sides of the aisle are pissed.
There will be no kings.

I just like to post these data from time to time to puncture the mythological aura of mid 20th c protests. They were less popular than pretty much any 21st c mass action & people criticizing them used the same lines. Protest is about people coming together, shaping narratives, & building power.

Hot out there in Surprise, AZ today however the crowd was pleasant, energetic, happy and helpful, and easily 10:1 support for #NoKings from those passing by. That was a welcome morale boost!

Honestly the fact that they are activating the Guard in several states in response to the No Kings protests makes me want to go even more. It's building them up to be a huge event, and well, why let them down?

Don’t forget reaching out to your colleagues and finding ways to work together. Ten scientists working to take an action together are more powerful than the sum of each acting alone.

The best thing that scientists can do right this moment is organize with each other. Form networks, do coordinated communications: comms to the public, comms to media outlets, comms to Congress. That's the most urgent need.

1/ OK, Democratic members of Congress in the US Senate. It’s time for some tough love.
I am aware your pollsters and consultants tell you things like “the American people want us to work together” and “ focus on prescription drug prices in the economy.”

J.P. Morgan econs on Trump’s latest are “increasingly concerned that the policy mix may tilt into an unintentionally far less business-friendly stance. The sustained 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico set to start this weekend is materially different than the tariff increases built into our baseline.”

Remember how Trump said he "sent the military in and opened up the water flow" in CA? It appears he forced the Army Corps to just drain reservoirs into recently flooded farmland without telling local farmers or leaders. “In 25 years, I’ve never seen anything like this.”
