Why another protest? What is it going to accomplish? Shouldn’t we be [insert alternate tactic] instead?
These are good-faith questions, and they stem from very reasonable concerns. So let’s take a step back and talk about the role of a peaceful mass mobilization like No Kings.

Mark Kelly: "This is not surprising. Here's a guy who told Americans to inject bleach into their bodies, who sent a mob to Capitol Hill. And now I think it's fair to say he stands out as singlehandedly destroying more wealth with his bad decisions than anybody else who has ever lived on this planet"

Hi, are you doomscrolling about tariffs?
Have you had something to eat? Is there an offline activity you can do tonight instead, like read a book, compile a list of essential items you need to stock up on, or call an elected official about the recession ahead?
Try not to stay up too late tonight.

Senator Cory Booker -- nearly 23 hrs into this -- is more coherent than your average elected official speaking (while seated) at an average legislative hearing.
Even if you haven't been watching all along, dip in for a moment -- he is making considerable sense:

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

We have three EQUAL branches:
Executive, Judicial, Legislative.
Trump and his regime Criminally ignore our Judicial and Legislative branches!!
They are Not upholding OUR CONSTITUTION of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
They are committing Crimes against US every moment!!
To me this is Highest Treason.
