No Kings on Oct 18 is going to be the largest peaceful protest in American history. The only way to protect our freedom of speech is to exercise our freedom of speech. Get to planning in your community asap. nokings.org
It’s happening. The takedown of Jimmy Kimmel is likely the start of a campaign to use the murder of Charlie Kirk as a pretext to use the power of the White House to wipe out Trump’s critics and his political opponents.

But we aren’t powerless. We can mobilize and organize. Now.

Love it @margaretrenkl.bsky.social 72 trees on a half an acre! I counted about 80 but we have ~2 acres. I need to let nature get busy. Though at least most of the space without trees is in wildflower meadows now.
