Santos’ commutation is but one more reason to attend a NKD event to peacefully protest against this regime’s corruption and lawlessness!

I am nursing a sick grandchild, but my husband is at the No Kings rally across the river in Jersey City. He’s carrying a sign he made- “Grandpa For Democracy.”

I am told Budapest has great restaurants and fabulous desserts everywhere. May you find good food to share with your friends following your duties at the U.S. Embassy.

No Kings Day must be a turning point—not a commercial, not a sound bite, but a real, enduring resistance.

The fight is for our way of life, our children, our freedom, and collective dignity.​

It’s time to reflect with honesty, resolve, and unity, and make protest a tool for justice once again, not a passing performance, but a living demand for rights, accountability, and hope.

I am not calling for violence, I am calling for focus and resolve.

The only way forward is to take the House and Senate. We can do this if we work together toward those missions. The October 18, 2025 protest is d tomorrow. I made a batch of 126 free protest signs for you and your group to get printed today. Please share, restack, copy, and paste the link. Have a printing company do these for you! Subscribe for updates to the file. Here they are:

You are right re taking the House and Senate. Now, if we can just agree to not be so disagreeable on the agendas for our candidates -both seasoned and newly minted. On the latter group, let us just pick young, intelligent, committed individuals and help them win a new share of voters with their excellence and optimism. As for the former group, let us just support them, even if they do not say and represent perfection. Agreed, yes!

Good Trouble indeed! When are we going to stop rewarding bad behavior? Trump and Santos are two peas in a pod. Not surprised at the new low…

Gee, maybe George did stuff in prison to be put in solitary. That was one of the stupidest government EO I’ve read.

Right on Steve! A great place to "No Kings" today. There's a rich tradition of meaningful protests on the very spot that you are reporting from. Go Hawkeyes!

Decisive wins next month in New Jersey and Virginia will go a long way. Both states, but especially Virginia because of the decimation to the economy and quality of life in northern Virginia that MAGA has done. If people want more of Satanists like Russell Vought, then they are beyond any hope that we can offer.

I don't believe there is a Satan, but Russell Vought is the embodiment of our most evil impulses.

I am not exactly a believer in Satan, either, but I like to think there is some sort of judgment or outcome for evildoers. Plus, I think the word Satan fits like a glove for a lot of these people.
