I don't think a protest can serve as a heat sink when things are this bad. Nobody went home and reset. People are angrier than they've ever been, and now they've seen with their own eyes that there are millions more who feel the same.

#nokings rally I went to in Extremely Normie Chicago suburb was easily triple the size of earlier one. TRIPLE. & that was much bigger than I thought it would be. Previous one, occasionally cars would beep, this time every single car was leaning on the horn the whole time. Encouraging cacophony. 👊🏻💚

If you were out in the streets today, thanks. If you left feeling inspired, please seek out local ways that you can keep organizing with others.

#SceneReport: I didn’t take any pics, but crusty ol’ me was happy to see the wide swath of humanity at the NJ #NoKings rally I went to today. All ages, all races, many keffiyehs, normies to nuts, endless honking of support; and a new addition to the inflatables - Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.

also, in keeping with Vance’s view of american identity, only white people are fully American with the right to critique or dissent. nonwhites must show proper gratitude (supporting Trump or marrying JD Vance) before they can speak critically of the country (in approved ways, of course)
Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.

Gov. Pritzker has said all the right things, but now he needs to act and get these state troopers out of there.
A protester with a mobility aid (cane) was sitting in the road. Illinois state troopers dragged them to the grass and arrested them.

they should probably let people know this exists. And put it on Twitch. And have someone who knows how to stream comment over it.

When the time of terror is over, and the time of reckoning begins, every single lawyer involved in these malicious prosecutions should lose both their license and their reputation. No more John Yoo BS. No cozy think tank jobs. They should be shunned.
New bench slap just dropped. They are coming at a truly astonishing rate.
