The concept of caring enough about your country to show up for free is completely incomprehensible to these people.
Sean Duffy: "The No Kings protest, Maria, really frustrating. This is part of antifa, paid protesters. It begs the question who's funding it."

Seattle comrades: If you're interested in doing a bit more to stand up to the erosion of our civil rights, we are expecting a huge crowd for the next No Kings protest, and can really use more volunteers, especially on the safety team! Here's the form to sign up.

Bainbridge Island's planning commission is currently picking apart the affordable housing project the Low Income Housing Institute wants to build near the state ferry terminal, suggesting it should be:
-Shorter
-Have more parking
-Have a more onerous design process
-Have public art
-Shorter
-Have more parking
-Have a more onerous design process
-Have public art
Today in "we support affordable housing - just not here"...
A new campaign seeks to "Save the Corner" by blocking a planned 90-unit affordable apartment building that the city of Bainbridge Island is looking to build on city-owned property near the WSDOT ferry terminal.

The Washington Post trying to frame this as anything other than a massive failure is so pathetic. How did the organizers of this parade manage to make the mightiest military in the world look so toothless? Why is the paper who broke the Washington Post amplifying hollow propaganda? Shameful.
Planes roared over D.C. on Saturday, tanks rolled along the National Mall, brass bands resounded and thousands of soldiers marched past cheering crowds, as the Army put on the largest show of military might in the capital in more than three decades. wapo.st/4dYFOck

Timely perspective and wisdom from Rebecca Solnit. "I believe ardently that nonviolent resistance is ... the most effective strategy, but that doesn't mean it must be polite, placid, or please our opponents, not least because nothing ever will and they'll lie and distort no matter what." 💯
