The #NoKings flag is flying tonight in NJ, VA, NYC, Boston, PA, CA (go #Prop50!) & around the country. A well-deserved sigh of relief to all before tomorrow’s battles!

Looking down helps me look up.

I won’t say that I saw all this coming, but the sinister feeling that crept over me when I saw this front yard display last October, a few weeks before the election, was palpable.

Can someone help me figure out the math here? GOP reps complain that SNAP recipients are lazy, ripping off the government. But THEY are the ones not working while collecting over $100,000 every day on our dime, to the tune of almost $9,000,000 over the last few months.

That look about right?

No Kings on Sunday! 21-mile ride from San Jose, through Santa Clara and Sunnyvale and back again, via an early vote center to cast my Yes on 50 ballot.

Not a bad afternoon considering the state of the world 🗳️🇺🇸🌴🥥💙

12 more miles of No Kings riding in the books! From downtown San Jose to the Tesla Takedown protest at Winchester Ave and back via San Carlos, here passing the iconic (and now dark) Western Appliance neon sign.

Just sent my last 30/100 hand-written, illustrated, and stickered letters to fellow Californians urging them to vote in the upcoming upcoming special election.

Let’s get out there, California!

How will you resist today?

No Kings Wednesday 🚲

Proud to ride in San Jose with We the People in the California Republic tonight, just down the road from Alameda, Oakland, and San Francisco, where trays of 🧊 sit in the freezer ready to spill all over the place.

Let’s turn up the 🔥!

No Kings Tuesday 🚲

- a 6km commute via San José City Hall, trying to keep #NoKings rolling

Taking my No Kings flags on the road and making it a #NoKings week, with 45 miles downtown, around, and up in the San Jose hills over the two days.

Where to tomorrow? 🚲🚫👑

The morning after what may have been the largest* single-day protest in U.S. history, here is the No Kings coverage in the @nytimes.com

Where is it, you ask? You have to scroll down.

No, further.

Keep going.

*still a ways off from Earth Day 1970, where 20,000,000 turned out in a smaller USA!

“When you’re retired, you can spend as much time as you want on your signs.”

Thanks to this fine gentleman at No Kings in San Jose for the detailed tour through his handmade collage masterpieces. Well worth zooming in to appreciate all the detail. South Park, take note!

The #WeThePeople #NoKings and #California flags are mounted and ready to go for 100km of rolling #protest on the #SanJose streets tomorrow.

But for now…enjoying a #bicycle #sunset

250 is up to us

There is as much “antifa” in Mike Johnson’s phone as anywhere else

It will be massive, and it will be peaceful. There is more “antifa” in Mike Johnson’s phone than there will be at No Kings

And they’re off! The first 40 out of 100 letters my mom and I are writing with @votefwd.bsky.social to encourage fellow Californians to get out and vote in the Nov. 4 special election.

Thank you, @uspostal.bsky.social!

3 weeks before California's Proposition 50 vote next month, and a year ahead of the 2026 midterms, I've just encountered my first "Newsom 2028" yard sign.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
