If you’re not attending Trump’s military exploitation birthday party in DC you might want to consider joining one of the “No Kings” events happening across the country on June 14. My guest today @ezralevin.bsky.social from Indivisible explains how you can get involved.

The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.
