Wisconsin No King’s protests on Rachel Maddow MSNBC. We attended in Cedarburg (misspelled Caderberg) and Milwaukee. Protests were peaceful and joyful and no one was paid. Everyone there loves America and hates fascism.

Kamala nailed it. Rachel nailed it. Ruth Ben-Ghiat nailed it and we are not surprised. Trump may not be the sharpest tool in the shed but he has learned dictatorship well.

From Tim Weiner’s phenomenal book The Mission about the CIA. Not that half of Wisconsin needs persuading that Ron Johnson is a Trump sycophant, MAGA radical, and an embarrassment to our state.

Yep! When I lived in New Jersey, I found this cactus on rocky cliffs along the Delaware River. It’s native there too. Beautiful flowers and fruiting bodies.

One of many No Kings protests today on I-43 overpasses in Wisconsin. The show of support from the passing cars was impressive. The movement against Trump’s fascism is growing stronger!

Town Hall mtg today in Fox Point, WI. Sen. Ron Johnson was invited but didn’t show. When you support Trump’s cruel and lawless agenda, lie about COVID, lie about the 2020 fake electors, and vote to cut programs that people need, you are afraid to meet with your constituents. Johnson is a coward.
