I’m in London while so many of you are marching in #NoKings.
But when I saw this bust of George III, it put everything in perspective.
Declaring “No Kings” today is as American and patriotic as it was 250 years ago. Democracy is a never ending struggle and each of you is protecting it today.

After my youngest son died, my dad bought a new Subaru SUV, and he and I set off on an epic road trip that I chronicled on Twitter under #2DudesisaSubaru.
