My No Kings March 2026 Scrapbook

Image
I really enjoyed the third No Kings Day this past Saturday. Saw some folks I know, heard some good speeches, and enjoyed the march. I'll only caption a couple of photos toward the end, but also note the video I'm embedding! The song is "Forged in Fire" by Crys Matthews a remarkable singer-songwriter out of Nashville whose work I heartily recommend. If you participated this past weekend, I hope your day was as enjoyable. A large part of dissent is just showing up and helping others feel less alone, and laying the foundation for greater engagement.  For what it's worth, once again Houston deployed a ton of police for a modest sized crowd and honestly, I don't see the police as "the enemy". Sure, they work for the state and I can't say I trust them, but some honestly believe they're protecting and serving; for them, I offer support.

Memes in the Time of Trump 2.0: No Kings 3 edition, Part 1

Image
I could have also called this The Kitchen Sink Edition because I'm also throwing in elements from Facebook on Bluesky and even some Stuff2Do.  No Kings happens tomorrow with over 3,000 actions planned across the U.S. I'm cautiously optimistic that this will be the largest turn-out and more people get involved afterward in their local communities and at different levels of engagement. Consequently, this is less about celebrating the specific day (though it is that), and more about seeding ideas for perspective, engagement (be it talking points or signing up to register voters or organize protests or writing letters to representatives, and so on), and spreading some ideas the results of which we may not know, but that might galvanize a change for the better in the electorate. Last outing, I attempted to organize a kind of structure for the entry and it sort of worked.
