I was wondering about the numbers from the No Kings protests. Here are some from @indivisible.org :
7 million people around the world marched
There was one arrest, due to a non-G-rated costume
There was zero violence. Zero!!
(Also zero property damage?)

As once again I don't wish to create problems in my beautiful nonprofit workplace by being gone from it tomorrow to protest, I have made another donation to Indivisible. It was not a huge donation but it felt meaningful to me. I hope others who can't attend will consider doing the same. No Kings!

Collins: Speaker Johnson that Republicans are actually the party that wants to fix health care by addressing issues with it, as he says they did in the one big beautiful bill.
Sanders: Did he really say that? They're trying to fix health care by throwing 15 million people off of it?

Massachusetts Health Connector is how we hard working self employed people buy health insurance. Republicans are against hard working self employed people now I guess
Massachusetts Health Connector?
That's what we call the Affordable Care Act.
MassHealth?
That's Medicaid and CHIP.
Trump and Republicans are attacking the millions of Massachusetts residents who rely on these programs to survive.

A judge blocked Trump from sending Oregon's National Guard into Portland.
That same judge then blocked Trump from deploying California's National Guard to Portland instead.
This isn't a "left wing" judge — Trump appointed her.
