I will be exercising my true patriotism by traveling 1200 miles by car to Minneapolis to protest against the lies, propaganda and false patriotism of Trump and his regime and supporters with my high school friends, Sara and Dan, who live there, to do my part to bring our country back on track to what our founding fathers imagined it should be!
For about the same cost as another Mideast war, renewables could make oil much less relevant. Fossil fuels wreak havoc on the environment even when not causing wars.
Come November a course correction might be employed when voting taxpayers get a chance to register our displeasure.
Trump & Co engage in self enrichment & celebrate blowing things up calling it strategy. Meanwhile China’s building what actually matters for the next fifty years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEok_seAdi4
Resist MAGA gangster, grifter authoritarianism! Vote Sane. #VoteBlue!
After traveling throughout America, Alexis de Tocqueville in 1835 made a number of observations on: equality and democracy, individualism, role of women and religion, local government, private comfort over public life, social mobility as a structure of society, free press and danger of despotism. The outlook for all these observations has dimmed over time. A nation founded on the universal rights and democratic principles interacted with myths, delusions and bare faced lies. In practice, national identity became based on half-truths. Trump took the opportunity to blow apart already existing fissures in the society. He started throwing dynamite from so
many directions, institutions buckled and fell. Americans are homeless now, but they have choices about what and how to build a
unified nation. First Trump must be stopped for once and always.

Thanks, Miles! All reminds me of that truism, "A Lie circles the globe ten times before The Truth gets its pants on." MATA: MAKE AMERICA TRUTHFUL AGAIN.
Thank you Miles. I completely agree with the danger Trump has created for our country and continues to do so daily. Yes, we die by lies.
I too am grateful for the No Kings organization. Seeing the No Kings signs all over the Peninsula has brought joy and hope to my heart! Today is indeed a big day! My belief in karma, the Universe and "thy will not mine" or trumps, is what keeps me focused and moving forward.
So now our leader is talking about war crimes to make things better. NO talks, NO negotiations which would be the SMARTER way to go. Now they are showing "HIM" on the podium telling lies again and again! He's truly acting like a toddler all the time and I don't trust a toddler because 1) they have no attention span and 2) they lie a lot!
Miles,I’ve contacted the capital police officer and offered to perform. No response to date so if you want to put a word in, please do. I need to know by early tomorrow.
Enjoyed the read. Interesting perspective. What I don't get is how so many people couldn't see what I could see in 2016, and then repeated this same BS in 2024. I argue, there was enough garbage on Trump in the run up to 2016 that should have disqualified this racist criminal & conman/scammer from high office, and it that didn't resonate, the white trash Proud Boy in attendance at Trump rallies should have registered, should have been disgusted by those optics, unless of course, subconsciously, one is a racists.
PS, I marched in two No Kings rallies on 3/28/2026. I witnessed a 72-year-old fall to the ground hard, but he is OK, we talked afterward, and he's fine. Heck, I saw one tiny, aged, fragile woman wearing a cast on her right leg and pushing a rolling walker near the tail end of a 2.5-mile march; this was Hill‑and‑dale terrain! I’m no spring chicken either; I’m physically sore from two separate protests, 10,000 steps, and five hours of protest underneath UV rays. Further, I'd like to share, for the most part, protesters received a lot of support from passing honkers, yet, despite all the signage to my right and left, that read HATE, NOT MAKING AMERICA GREAT, I observed one HATER drive-by expressing his middle finger; I assume his grievance in life stems from birth, being raise in a family of haters, trapped in the spiral of hate, thus Trump. Another worth mentioning moment I heard being chanted at the Washington DC No Kings rally is YOU ARE WELCOME TO JOIN US WHEN YOU ARE READY.
Trump’s lies are so obvious by now. He lies because he’s a criminal and a degenerate and he knows on some level that most people wouldn’t accept him if they really understood these things. Putin and Netanyahu, both lying crooks themselves, understand this about him and have leverage. We are drowning in lies. Thank you for your defiant leadership, Mr. Taylor.
I love this! I’m going to copy it! Thank you Miles!!!
Lies? Oh I’m gonna send my Florsheim shoes back.
Perfectly stated.

Defy the liars!
With acknowledgments (and apologies) to the Bard:
To lie, or not to lie: that is the question:
Whether ’tis better for the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of courageous learning,
Or to take arms against a sea of known facts,
And by denying block them? To lie: to cheat;
Much more; and by lobbying say we end
The heartache and the thousand natural shocks
Corruption’s heir to, ’tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish’d. To lie, to cheat;
To cheat, perchance to scream ay, there’s the rub;
For in that cheating stealth what screams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there’s the aspect
That makes our world a real calamity
Brilliant!
Huzzah, huzzah! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
This is one of the best summations of our current state of affairs that I have seen. Bravo, Miles.

Thanks for this manifesto. As the fist squeezes tighter its strength weakens. An open hand is stronger and more flexible.

On a cheerful note: You got to listen to this marching music someone created for the No Kings 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TCW8_S4CrQ&list=RD7TCW8_S4CrQ&start_radio=1
