Honk report Tuesday pm: Strong persistent honking and 1 VHC. Plus a bus driver stopped at a bus stop, just as I was walking by, open its doors to let people out, and then let out a big long honk. :-)

I chatted with a woman on the Metro yesterday who had a protest sign. It turns out she's been going to the Heritage Foundation several times a week to protest. A bunch of people seem to do that every day. She said the Heritage people called the police on them one day.

Honk Report Tues AM: Really good consistent honking this morning and lots and lots of smiles. One woman who was stopped in her car at the light had her phone up taking a picture while I was crossing with the sign, so I stopped and gave a thumbs up and let her take a picture.

Honk Report PM: Even in the rain the honks were constant. Nearly every bus honked, and there were a lot of them. Best moment: Some crazy lady walking across the street was yelling, "Don't stop Trump!" And then she said, "See, no one's even honking!" And on cue 5 or 6 cars all started honking. :-)

Honk Report am: Didn't have time this morning (due to 2 great Ukraine-related events I'm involved with), but on my metro ride into DC these 3 women came into the car wearing large anti-trump signs.

Honk Report PM: 3 VHCs (Virtuous Honk Circles) this afternoon! And lots of really long honks too! Best moment: I saw a kid in the front seat reaching to his parent to get them to honk and then heard it after they passed. 2nd best: 8 people at a bus stop all yelling "Honk! Honk!" :-)

Honk Report am: More great honking. Also a guy who tried to explain that the problem isn't Trump--it's the Devil. And I have no rebuttal for that. I also was thinking about why this form of protest appeals to me:

Honk Report PM: One guy started honking in beats of 3 (e.g., Let's-Go-Mets), and then several others at the intersection started doing the same. A variation on a VHC (Virtuous Honk Circle.)

The latest crazy just proves what we all know. They are discussing everything on Signal to avoid any discovery or FOIA or archival laws. So illegal but here we are.

Honk Report pm: Out came the sun, and out came the honks! So many and so forcefully! Best moment: When a metro bus was waiting at the red light as I crossed with my sign and people started honking, I noticed the driver was nodding his head and playing his horn like an experienced drummer. :-)

Honk Report am: Great honking despite a wet, rainy Monday morning! Especially the bus drivers. My favorite moment was a guy waiting behind a few other cars at a red light who held up his hands as if to say, "I don't want the guy in front of me to think I'm honking at him." But then gave a thumbs up.

If I could speak to the heads of big law firms, I would ask: Is the risk of losing some clients worth betraying your oath to the rule of law?
To everyone nodding but refusing to take a stand, I say: You are ignoring Martin Niemöller’s message. It is you that Martin Luther King Jr. was condemning.

America is not unique. Any democracy can fall to state capture by disordered discourse if there’s no systematic response. This isn’t something we can fact-check our way out of - it’s deeper than misinformation. It’s about power, identity, and the narratives that shape reality itself.

I feel like there should be people at every entrance to the White House, Congress and Supreme Court waving signs saying “Elon Out!” People going in and out of those three buildings should see this constantly.
