The crowd at today's #NoKings protest in Arlington, TX, was larger than it was last June. Here's what it looked like after about an hour. This time there was also an endless parade of protesters in cars displaying signs. My guess is that many people couldn't find a place to park nearby.

I found a spot at the heart of today's #NoKings protest in Arlington, TX. Here's what it looked like near the beginning. There were no constables around the courthouse, and a single police car only came by twice. Nothing could be more peaceful than this, and they knew it.

More people are arriving for today's #NoKings protest in Arlington, TX. A little bit of rain isn't going to dampen anyone's enthusiasm. Here's the other side of my new sign, which was inspired by @meidastouch.com.

I'm here early for today's #NoKings protest in Arlington, TX. My new sign celebrates the important work of @marcelias.bsky.social and @democracydocket.com.

"Donald Trump brings his deviancy into the Oval Office and flashes it for all to see and hear - his vulgarity, his profanity." Few can lambaste crackPOTUS Trump as eloquently as @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com. m.youtube.com/watch?v=tCfM...

I'm glad to see that @jonathancapehart.bsky.social quit the Washington Post. He joins others, such as Jennifer Rubin, Ashley Parker, and Josh Dawsey, in rejecting Jeff Bezos' censorship and subservience to crackPOTUS. m.youtube.com/watch?v=zTus...

Every streetlamp Seems to beat a fatalistic warning Someone mutters And the streetlamp gutters And soon it will be morning From Memory in Cats by Andrew Lloyd Webber @briantylercohen.bsky.social royally skewered Trump but didn't note his ironic choice of music. m.youtube.com/watch?v=YMfE...

"The coverup that is being executed at the DOJ makes Watergate look like a ladies garden lunch in Foster, Alabama in 1965" @therickwilson.bsky.social captures the essence of Trump's corruption. m.youtube.com/watch?v=WnOV...

Insightful and revealing reporting by @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com - The existence and location of the Epstein birthday book is a potentially serious blow to Trump's lawsuit against the WSJ. m.youtube.com/watch?v=oLep...

@maddow.msnbc.com never fails to infuriate crackPOTUS and his imperial cult with her wit and insight. m.youtube.com/watch?v=0Uzg...

@lincolnproject.us skewers crackPOTUS Trump with this parody of Kendrick Lamar's #NotLikeUs. m.youtube.com/watch?v=LHhY...

There is nothing covered that won’t be uncovered, nothing hidden that won’t be made known. Therefore, whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in an ear in private rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops. ‭‭Luke‬ ‭12‬:‭2‬-‭3‬ ‭on the Epstein files

This is part of a current exhibition at the Dallas Museum of Art. The artist is unknown, but it's clearly #antitrump protest art.

And here's the end of today's #nokings protest in Arlington, TX. Trump's birthday parade was weak and minuscule compared to this and the thousands of other protests across the nation today.

This was the scene about 1 hour into today's #nokings protest in Arlington, TX. The crowd had grown substantially by then.

Here's the beginning of today's #nokings protest in Arlington, TX. I was right in the middle of it. People were still arriving. The peaceful and boisterous crowd eventually stretched for several blocks in both directions.

I'm heading over to join the #nokings protest in Arlington, TX.

It's early, but people starting to come out for #nokings in Arlington, TX.

"Any one of us could be the next one on the floor in handcuffs in the ragingly thuggish, unconstitutional government now run by the stupidest, most dangerous president this country has ever had to endure." @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com I'm ready for No Kings protests. m.youtube.com/watch?v=Bhil...

"Democracy is under assault before our eyes. This moment we have feared has arrived... What Donald Trump wants most is your fealty, your silence, to be complicit in this moment. Do not give in to him." @governor.ca.gov No Kings protests are the best way to do that. m.youtube.com/watch?v=pXQQ...

“Learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its branch becomes tender and sprouts leaves, you know that summer is near.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭24‬:‭32‬ ‭CSB‬‬ This will be a summer of massive anti-Trump protests, and our sprawling fig tree (25' x 15' x 12') is a daily reminder of that.

"This is not a feud; this is the world's 2 craziest, most dangerous rich people, each trying to find a way now to completely destroy the other...All out madness has broken out in Trump World with Donald Trump at the center of the madness.." @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com m.youtube.com/watch?v=g5vv...

Apparently Elon Musk never saw The Texas Chainsaw Massacre before casting himself as Leatherface. The film's closing moment perfectly captures him flailing at Trump's agenda when it failed to deliver the money and power he so ruthlessly craves. m.youtube.com/watch?v=zclw...

"And as of tonight, Donald Trump remains cowering in abject, silent fear of Elon Musk. The proof that Donald Trump is terrified tonight...is that Donald Trump has remained absolutely silent about Elon Musk's attacks..." @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com m.youtube.com/watch?v=HpYM...

"Elon Musk is the abomination that the Republicans in the Senate and the House and that Donald Trump deserve." It's hard to disagree with @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com. m.youtube.com/watch?v=pR7K...

Our weekly Tesla Takedowns continue in Souhlake, TX. The world's richest guy has one of the world's poorest characters, and he's not going to get away with killing the world's poorest people. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/03/b...

"You have every right to believe, as a result of that single post alone, that Donald Trump is completely deranged and has no idea what day it is or what country he lives in." @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com on "the still breathtaking stupidity of Donald Trump" m.youtube.com/watch?v=krMu...

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre quickly became a cult classic film in the 1970's. The film's denouement, in which the chainsaw-wielding Leatherface mutilates himself and spins violently out of control, has a striking similarity to Elon's RUD in Trump's orbit. m.youtube.com/watch?v=zclw...

"Tonight Donald Trump humiliated himself once again by showing how irreversibly stupid and flawlessly ignorant he is of the actual words of the Constitution and their meaning." And then @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com gets brutal. m.youtube.com/watch?v=2vyj...

"Donald Trump has already lost his trade war, and he is relentlessly stupid enough to continue..." "Donald Trump is a loser, who is going to continue to lose, and he is going to continue to hurt Americans while he's losing." @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com strikes again. m.youtube.com/watch?v=BwvB...

"But obviously this is a president who hates intellect, who despises the symbol of excellence in the world of higher education." @tribelaw.bsky.social on "the threats that this deranged president is making in these ludicrous tweets" Scholars resist crackPOTUS Trump. m.youtube.com/watch?v=x_DE...

This was President Biden's 2024 commencement address at West Point. He showed a strong command of history, tradition, and facts. He delivered it with energy and humor. This is the antithesis of Trump's pathetic crackpottery. m.youtube.com/watch?v=UQUf...

"But right now we have a man who is corrupt, who is dangerous, who is putting America in enormous jeopardy in almost every single dimension, and he's not well. Trump is not well." @therickwilson.bsky.social I never tire of anyone lambasting crackPOTUS Trump. m.youtube.com/watch?v=mAQM...

France 24 does a fine job exposing Trump's crackpot conspiracy theories about South Africa. m.youtube.com/watch?v=mti6...

"Joe Biden has never said one thing as outright stupid and factually incorrect as what Donald Trump says every single day about almost everything." @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com Joe Biden has cancer, but Donald Trump is a cancer on the soul of our country. m.youtube.com/watch?v=9GWM...

This was the warmup as I was just arriving at yesterday's Tesla Takedown protest in Southlake, TX. For me it was a great warmup for raining on Trump's birthday parade on June 14.

There were indeed false prophets among the people...Many will follow their depraved ways, and the way of truth will be maligned because of them. They will exploit you in their greed with made-up stories... ‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭2‬:‭1-3‬ ‭CSB‬‬ Peter understood the maga imperial cult as well as Paul did.

"Two hours before the Supreme Court heard the case today, the stupidest president in history decided to tell the Supreme Court what to do on social media." @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com then analyzes that "historically imbecilic" post. m.youtube.com/watch?v=5OVC...

"It takes Trump-level stupidity to create a political dynamic like that. One feature of Donald Trump's stupidity is that it apparently shields him from feeling humiliation no matter how much humiliation is heaped upon him." The indomitable @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com m.youtube.com/watch?v=YEnY...

"And the obvious corruption of Donald Trump's sure-to-fail corrupt scheme to get himself a 747 will also live long after Donald Trump gives up on his mad dream of his 747 built for a dictator who funds Hamas." The inimitable @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com m.youtube.com/watch?v=hChT...

"This payoff is as ugly and stupid as it looks...but it offers a perfect companion piece to Donald Trump's 2 dolls declaration..." "Yes, he's very, very, very stupid, but not as stupid as all you people on Wall Street think he is." @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com m.youtube.com/watch?v=9dHN...

"We don't have any questions for Donald Trump about a moment like that. Because we know that the man's brain is broken and full of poison and always has been. He is a hateful hunk of stupidity and bigotry sitting in that chair." Classic @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com. m.youtube.com/watch?v=24tG...

Our cats' garden of paradise includes self-service catnip.

As expected, Canadian Prime Minister Carney humiliated Trump yesterday. No one has analyzed that with more insight than @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com. m.youtube.com/watch?v=wBvH...

It's likely to be another humiliating day for crackPOTUS Trump. Canada's Prime Minister Carney will surely put him in his place if he starts his fascist 51st state spiel. In the mean time, I'm planning to be among the millions who rain on his June 14 military parade. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/06/w...

"... among them, Marc Elias, a longtime opponent of Trump, who is the only lawyer the president has named who was willing to appear on 60 Minutes." His candid assessments are always insightful and inspirational. m.youtube.com/watch?v=U1QS...

This bald eagle also couldn't stand that vulture Trump. So it sought refuge atop a juniper tree on our small blue island in this orangish red Texas neighborhood.

Things go badly with popes when, instead of earning men’s commendations by good deeds, they extort praises with threats. Such popes cannot be praised without lying; From Julius Exclusus by Erasmus (1514) CrackPOTUS would earn the same rebuke from Peter as Pope Julius II did in Erasmus's satire.

They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served what has been created instead of the Creator, who is praised forever. ‭‭Romans‬ ‭1‬:‭25‬ ‭CSB‬‬ Paul had a profound understanding of human nature, but even he might be taken aback by Trump's and MAGA's endless crackpottery.
