No Kings is reporting that 7,000,000 Americans turned out to rally against Trump today.

That's over THREE TIMES the number of votes Donald Trump claims to have gotten over Kamala Harris.

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

Let me explain real quick why the #TSLA share price matters.

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

Yup. Somewhere else I read that the Montgomery Bus Boycott started with a single day boycott. And part of the point of a small yet doable disruption is to jar yourself out of routine. To prove to yourself you can change your habits just a bit this one time, so you can take it a little further next.

Donald Trump holds democratically elected foreign leaders in contempt. Donald Trump expresses admiration for despotic leaders who deny their citizens freedom. What does that predict about his governance/leadership for the U.S.?

He doesn’t care if we live or die.

Upheaval and lawless firings that do nothing to root out waste and fraud, while giving access to private information and confidential payment systems must stop. Social Security is not a piggy bank — it is the lifeblood of our earned retirement system.
