protesters took to the streets in multiple South Dakota cities, including Pierre, where one protester said, “Gas prices going up, food prices going up, fertilizer prices going up for the farmers. I think people are just getting tired of the chaos.”

patiently explaining to national political reporters that the people who organize No Kings are also doing the daily advocacy, voter registration, mutual aid, and immigrant defense, and that just because the cameras show up for the big crowd does not mean that work did not exist before and after

As a retired airline Captain I flew into LGA and NY airspace hundreds of times. It is some of the world’s busiest airspace. To have only one ATC in the tower at LGA is criminal negligance. Not only is the airspace crowded and chaotic, so are the ground operations. Sean Duffy’s FAA owns this 100%

People think rural America votes against its interests because they presume the rural poor and working class dominate politics. But they don’t. Local boosters and business elites run things and the GOP serves their petty bourgeois interests very well.
