I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.
Things that help calm the nervous system, quickly:
- Box breathing (in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4, repeat)

- Exercise (anything helps, outside even better)

Meet @leelagray.bsky.social the retired Brigadier General running to unseat Ana Paulina Luna, a MAGA crazy who organized a guided tour for Russian Duma members to Washington last week (as Russia was helping Iran target US bases in the Middle East). Let get her some followers and support. 🇺🇸

In my mailbox today, from @luannecastle.bsky.social! What clever ways to bring forth the beauty of one's work: the book cover art from Luanne's Doll God (poetry) for the greeting card and the book cover art from Luanne's memoir for a mug and bookmarks. Luanne, thank you xo

Amazing work FL, GA, VA, PA, IL, NC, OH, NY, and NJ. You’re showing up. From small towns to big cities, massive crowds are already gathering and the day is just getting started!
A large crowd in Atlanta
Atlanta says No Kings! Look at the size of this March in a 2024 Red State
Maine’s signage is on point.
Another great sign for the historians and wannabes today!

Over 100,000 people here at the #NoKings rally in St. Paul Minnesota. This amazing crowd continues to grow.
Our country belongs to all of us, not one person. Trump is forgetting this. He acts like he owns America. He does not. On this day from Alaska to Maine we remind him!
To whoever did this at the #NoKings in Boston: Thank you.❤️
It made me tear up. And we must to be reminded of needless damage to humanity that results directly from the careless, bellicose bluster coming from the Pentagon and White House.
San Diego just gave us the best reveal of No Kings Day. #NoKings
The crowd is growing here in St. Paul Minnesota at the State Capitol. There are about 40k people here right now with multiple marches still coming. The temperature has warmed up to a balmy 39 degrees, the sun is out and everybody is having a great time. ❤️#NoKings

A sign saying “knitters have balls, Congress doesn’t.”
A sign saying “ICE out for Good,” a reference to Renee Good, who was killed by ICE agents. There are two American flags near the sign.
A sign with what appears to be a Nobel Prize saying “#1 Worst President.”
A sign saying “Hey,” next to a picture of President Donald Trump, then “NOBODY PAID US. We all Hate YOU For Free.”
More signs from small-town Maine. #NoKings
Love the Knitters one!
