Yes, part of the implication of No Kings, especially repeating it, is to communicate both to wavering elites and to MAGA that the will and numbers exist to color revolution the administration if elections are subverted or cancelled.
However, it's a very good sign of what we'll be able to do when he actually attempts to overtly rule by force.
The 3.5% "rule" also applies to consistent, constant protesting. Not one off events imho.
So yeah, if 15 millionesh people were in the streets every day you could see why that would be problematic for the admin.
We are certainly not there yet.

I agree with Crocker that "keyword searches are [...] tailor-made for political repression" but I also see Denver ATF's (yuck!) point abt considering its use if "search terms could be sufficiently narrowed" as it was in the arson attack.

Three teenagers in Colorado almost got away with an arson attack that killed an innocent family.
The way detectives caught them could put all of us at risk:

the primary thing that i want in a dem member of congress or a democratic governor going forward is to view the republican party as a collection of fascists and traitors who should be burned alive in front of one another as a warning to the rest of them, and everything else is (somewhat) negotiable
I think the absolute burning hatred MGP has for Joe Kent is emblematic of what we might see
fwiw, i think there's potentially going to be some primary turnover, but i don't think it's going to look like what everyone on this website wants it to look like. we'll see, no predictions, but i don't think it's going to be, like, WFP or DSA dems.

I know these are challenging times — and the Trump administration is trying to confuse the American people.
That’s why it’s so important we speak plainly: Donald Trump is incompetent.

Posting about playwriting yesterday made me realize a lot of my writer friends might not have ever actually read a stage play. I can't tell you how much they've taught me about crafting raw character and dialogue.
Here are a few of the plays that helped shape me as a writer:

No, I don't need a bloody copilot for this document, thank you.
Writing is, in no small part, a tool for thinking. If you outsource that element to a machine that cannot think, you shouldn't be surprised if, at the end of the process, neither you nor your reader are any the wiser.

Because sometimes people need to hear this: If you want to make some art, just make it.
If you're worried it's going to be bad, that's fine. Make bad art just because you want to try. You don't have to show it to anyone if you don't want to. You don't have to finish it either!
Just do it for fun!

The stunt double of Charlize Theron and the stunt double of Tom Hardy met and fell in love on the set of Mad Max: Fury Road.
They got married.
