I can't begin to express how much I hate this. I refuse to give money to my alma mater if they'll allow it to be extorted from them by the likes of Donald Trump and I will encourage other alumni to act likewise.

Good evening. We estimate that between 4.2 and 7.6 million people turned out for the No Kings Day demonstrations held around the country on Saturday. This makes Oct 18 very likely the biggest single-day U.S. protest event since 1970. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/second-no-...

If you attend a No Kings Day event, please record the number of people in attendance in our crowdsourced crowd-counting sheet. We prefer official estimates above ad-hoc counts — if you count yourself, pls be conservative (people are bad at estimating crowd sizes). docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

I think the most useful political activity most of us can engage in rn is to encourage as many people as possible to attend the Oct 18 protests.

This is not a monarchy. This is a movement. You don’t get to storm the Capitol, lie to our people, steal our futures - and demand a crown. We say NO.

All Senator Padilla wanted was to do his job and get the questions his constituents had answered — instead, he was thrown to the ground and handcuffed.
This is Donald Trump's America, where they attack our freedoms.
We cannot be intimidated or scared by their abuses of power.

@padilla.senate.gov represents the best of the Senate.
The disgraceful and disrespectful conduct of DHS agents, pushing and shoving him out of a briefing like that, demands our condemnation.
He will not be silenced or intimidated. His questions will be answered.
I’m with Alex.

Unsurprisingly, Rs are releasing montage videos that combine Dems calling for protests with footage of WayMos burning = ie, THIS is what they called for.
But we're about to have a ton of peaceful protests that clarify what Dems are calling for.

There are now more than 2000 #NoKings events scheduled for all 50 states, DC, Puerto Rico, Guam and about a dozen foreign countries.
RSVPs are skyrocketing, which is particularly worth noting because a lot of people are very understandably dead set against RSVPing.
We will not back down.

Beyond the clearly ridiculous framing, the fact that this is a push alert is just obscene. If I shared analysis like this at work, I'd no longer be allowed to share analysis.

The message from the Left should be: tariffs bad, industrial policy good.
Sure, there are niche cases where tariffs might be useful as part of industrial policy, but it really weakens the message to add qualifiers. Fight unreservedly against the thing destroying the economy.

Remember the task now is to disseminate the images of the protests to people who didn’t see them and project a sense of their size and significance. Huge numbers of people turned out today, let’s make their dedication count!

So much of post-material politics is that those who care the least about changes to their own material condition are the ones with time and energy to drive political content.
