After walking the whole length of the protest, I’m estimating 6-10k people showed up for No Kings in Crystal Lake, IL - stacked 3-5 deep along a full mile of IL-14. Amazing. I love you, neighbors.

Walking out of Costco, I noticed a car parked in the (often empty) disabled spots. Then noticed that it had neither a placard nor disabled plate. Then noticed it was a Tesla.

Interesting. Do you have a link? I’d love to listen to this.
Just listened to the lawfare piece about this, and as of that date folks who signed and were surveyed said they were aware of the risks. Interlocutor described then as falling into two camps: gonna retire anyway, and disabled such that the return to office orders were untenable.

To be clear I’m not shitting on anyone. I just find believing in promises of deferred payment from Trump or anyone aligned with him to be kinda ludicrous. I hope the people resigning aren’t counting on that money.
Before we shit on these folks: we don't know their situations. They may have kids, medical conditions, or retirement plans. Everyone's capacity for resistance is different, you didn't get to conscript people.
WAPO: More than 40,000 people have accepted the deferred resignation offer from OMB and it’s growing.

Does anyone contemplating leaving their government service jobs actually believe they’ll be paid through September?
