Beth petting a dog. The dog is small and wearing a vest. Beth looks at the dog, and the dog is looking at the camera.

A protester looks at Beth's palm card, excitedly. Beth smiles at them.

Beth laughs. The photo is shot behind the shoulders of two protesters they are talking to.

Boxford and Andover really showed up for #NoKingsDay!

No one should do war crimes.

This war is a total waste.

The people who have been killed. The money spent. Every person whose life has been disrupted.

Protesting wars has not stopped them. That is why I am running for Congress myself.

Beth stands, posing for a photo with a protester. The protester is holding a sign that says "NO WAR NO CRUELTY NO KINGS. Protect Human Rights." The sign also has an American flag taped to it.

Beth is smiling, speaking with a group of 4 protesters.

Beth is standing with a protester who is signing their petition. The sign says "Resist like it's 1776. Grab them by the ballot". The sign has a drawing of a crossed out crown.

Amazing turnout in my hometown of Middleton for #NoKingsDay!

Geno needed to talk to a team member about personal hygiene. He'd dropped hints. Mentioned healthy habits in a team meeting. It hadn't worked. But a direct conversation? He kept finding reasons to delay. One more hint. One more day.

Sound familiar?

Beth for Democracy | Bethany Andres-Beck for Congress Bethany Andres-Beck is a candidate for Congress running to represent Massachusetts' 6th District.

This government is un-American.

They attacked Minneapolis.
They demand we carry our papers.
They ignore the Constitution.
They have left the White House in ruins.

Enough is enough. I am endorsed by @citizensimpeachment.com because I will stand up for America.

We're blacksmiths.
Some of what we know transfers to this new world. Some of it doesn't.
Figuring out which is which is our next greatest challenge.

Bethany Andres-Beck, a white person with short hair and a goatee wearing a wool overcoat, smiles in front of the flags in downtown Salem. In the center is the American flag, and then the eleven other flag poles all have the trans flag flying.

AI is an actually-bipartisan issue. I’m a trans socialist, but when I talk to Republicans a bunch end up supporters.

Voters love it. Big donors don’t. That’s why I’m running a genuinely-grassroots campaign.

AI companies want their chatbots to offer medical advice.

First, they would need to figure out how to have them do no harm.

I would never presume even meeting a man of that standard much less have him be interested in me, so I will have to go for a lower standard…

I would say yes if he wanted a date 💕

A couple reading in bed. She holds a thick novel he holds something much slimmer. Him "We must beware the tyranny of the long novel. Length is no barometer of literary merit." He continues"I have scoured the bookstore, looked past the fat spines and sought out perfection in the miniature!" He concludes "May not profundity dwell in the humble cottage As comfortably as in the sprawling castle?" Her, without looking up from her book, "100% agree. But you're aware that's a greetings card, right?"

Two archaeologists stand in a trench looking at an unearthed, fossilised, time machine and a tyrannosaurus skull in whose jaws is a human skeleton holding an aerosol can. One says: “These fossils would appear to suggest that, while Professor Cooper's time machine was a great success, his dinosaur repellent formula was not.”

Bethany Andres-Beck stands with a clip board in front of a large crowd in the center of Beverly. You can see signs with the No Kings logo.

"I grant you one wish," the magic fish said.

"To eat my mother's pancakes again, just like when I was a child."

"Are you sure?"

"You think it frivolous?"

"No. But to grand it I must send you back to the child you were, with no adult memories."

"Would my life change?"

"You ask that every time."
