I've just surpassed 100mi in September. 😮 That's the most I've ridden since I began participating in the Great Cycle Challenge 4 years ago. There's still time to sponsor my ride and support the Children's Cancer Research Fund. #biking #bikelover #biking #childrenscancer #cancerresearch #fundraiser

11 MILLION PEOPLE!! 💥💥💥 Are we nearing the magic 3.5%?? Never forget….WE hold the power. #nokings

The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible

Holy shit, New York! Here’s the full view. #NoKings #50501Movement

We’re honored to report that over 11 million showed up for today’s No Kings protest, and totals are still coming in. Just… wow. WOW 😮! There’s nothing more to say.
