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!
Heading to Quincy, MA with sign reminding people of true Patriots that lived amongst us and fought NO KINGS. QR code for joining Defiance.org on poster.
On your suggestion Miles, I made the same sign for No Kings II. I remember reading your essay, agreeing--and realizing how "simple" and comprehensive the statement is. Everything emanates from that basic truth.
I almost used that sign again today--but instead chose "Warrior For Your Kid's Democracy". Maybe I'll use the 'lies sign' for No Kings IV. I suspect we'll have one...
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!
I will definitely be there in person holding a sign and then watching Jim Acosta, Don Lemon, Joy Reid and others as they show the protests across the nation! I hope to catch some of Bruce Springsteen in St. Paul! Great reporting of Jane Fonda, Joan Baez, Sam Waterston et al yesterday!
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.
I love this! I’m going to copy it! Thank you Miles!!!
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
Huzzah, huzzah! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Thanks for this manifesto. As the fist squeezes tighter its strength weakens. An open hand is stronger and more flexible.
You nailed it!
Everything DJT touches dies. Let's all of US untouch him and throw him into history.
