I took my time with this one because it's almost 800 pages long. I appreciated the inside look at what it's like to be President and how frustrating it must have been to be thwarted at every turn. Also, I really miss this level of sanity, intelligence and introspection. #nokings

AmyG I miss it, too. 😥 9h

On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century | Timothy Snyder

I shed happy tears this morning. 5,000 protesters in Marquette. 7% of the county's population. Up from 3,500 at the last big protest. I have hope today.

It was nice to be around people fighting fascism, oligarchy, and for basic human decency. Solidarity with all those who went out today.

One for the #OrangeOne 🤐

There has been very little coverage of the USA protests (so far) today, in the UK press/news. 🤬

#NoKings

IriDas Not surprising. When other countries are protesting against authoritarianism, the US MSM doesn‘t give us a lot of info on them. Except to say, “isn‘t that uncivilized?” 2d

Leftcoastzen Go to the Guardian, there is a drop down to click for US 2d

AnnCrystal There was very little tv news coverage here in Los Angeles. We wanted updates, but news seemed brief throughout the day... 1d

Minnesota's State Capitol: The Art and Politics of a Public Building | Neil B. Thompson

I am absolutely heart broken. Three children are having the WORST day of their lives today, for WHAT? Two children are orphans. Is this really what people voted for? THIS. IS. NOT. OKAY. 68 other people and organisations are on a hit list by this gunman.
NO. KINGS.
End the madness.

IriDas Having grown up in the alt-right, I can assure you, this is exactly what they voted for. When 9/11 happened all my family said was “why didn‘t they fly some planes into the UN buildings.” I mean, these people don‘t even care when it happens to a classroom full of children. 2d

Deblovestoread It‘s devastating. 💔 1d

GingerAntics @IriDas you know, nothing should surprise me with the right. They really don‘t care when it‘s a classroom full of children. The only thoughts they have are that they‘re going to have to talk about gun control again, and their prayers are that they won‘t have to. 🙄 Why would they care about this. You‘re right. The 9/11 thing is creepy as hell. Please tell me you have gotten as far away from those nut jobs as possible. 1d

AnnCrystal 😢🙏🏼🇺🇲. 1d

TheBookHippie It‘s so so sad. It did not have to be like this. I saw this pure hatred yesterday in our counter protestors. It‘s just astounding. 23h

IriDas @GingerAntics Yes, I cut them off years ago. But now most of them are dead (old age). It was such a sad shock when I heard their voices coming out of Trump‘s mouth back in 2016. Every interview with one of them is like a flashback to my childhood. Sometimes I laugh because they all are saying the same exact things my family and neighbors were saying back in the 70s. The Right truly has no new ideas. 22h

GingerAntics @IriDas not surprising! They‘ve been saying the same old tired bs for ages! 7h

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie the hate is just astounding. It‘s not surprising, because they‘re very honest about their hate (possibly the only thing the ARE honest about), but the lengths they will go to, the total lack of limits or humanity in their hate is always jolting when they are so open about that. 7h

TheBookHippie @GingerAntics it is jolting. 7h

Bookwormjillk Good morning! We got months worth of rain last night so I‘m hoping to go outside and pull some weeds before it starts again. 2d

TheSpineView Thanks for the tag! 2d

Librarybelle Good morning! It looks like it rained here too, @Bookwormjillk , though not as much. But, I think more rain and lower temps are in the forecast this weekend. I‘m baking my Andes mint cookies today for my dad for Father‘s Day. And hopefully getting rid of this headache (my head knows the forecast is correct)! Wishing everyone going to a No Kings protest a successful time—I‘m there in spirit! ❤️ (edited) 2d

Bookwormjillk @Librarybelle shoot I keep forgetting about Father's Day. Hope your headache goes away! 2d

Librarybelle Thanks, @Bookwormjillk ! Lack of good sleep, plus stress, plus the weather—my head is not happy. I‘ll take it slow this morning, and hopefully that will help. 2d

ElizaMarie I finished one of my papers (case study) for my NP course - ugh! And now finishing my coffee. I might be going to the protest later, depending on my husband's ability to walk. He had injured his leg running, and might not be up for a long walk/stand. Playing it by ear.
2d

peanutnine Thanks for the tag and good morning! @Bookwormjillk @Librarybelle we also got a bunch of rain last night and it's cooling down this weekend. My husband and I are taking my father-in-law to see the Indiana Jones movie in theaters today. The protest in our town is later this afternoon, we'll see if we get back in time. 2d

IriDas Thanks for the tag. :) 2d

AllDebooks @Bookwormjillk I have a jungle of weeds to tackle after a little rainfall. Staying on top of them is a job and a half. Good luck taming yours. 🌱 2d

AllDebooks @TheSpineView ❤️🌞❤️ 2d

AllDebooks @Librarybelle hope the headache eases x 2d

AllDebooks @ElizaMarie at least it's another paper ticked off, and you can enjoy your day. Stay safe at the protests. #NoKings ✊️ 2d

AllDebooks @peanutnine Enjoy your movie. IJ is a treat. ❤️ 2d

TieDyeDude Good morning! Just getting the day started here in AK. We have someone coming in about a half hour to rototill and reseed our lawn. It was really ugly when we moved in (very uneven, holes their dog dug), but the landlord doesn't pay for lawn care. It's @WildAlaskaBibliophile birthday tomorrow; since we just got back from vacation, we are just planning a brunch and reading time. Everyone stay safe if you're going out today #NoKings 🇺🇲🦅 2d

dabbe Thanks for the tag. 😘 I am beyond bummed. I woke up with a hellacious cold and feel like crap. I don't want to spread germs around people, so I'm staying home from the protest. 🤒 Matt put upside-down flags on our front strip to show where our feelings lie. And it's going to be 112ºF today. 🥵 How do you get a f*&C*ing cold in this weather? Sorry to be such a whiner today. Hope everyone makes it a good one; I'll try, too. 😅 2d

AllDebooks @TieDyeDude great to see you here. Happy birthday @WildAlaskaBibliophile 🎂 Wishing you both a great week celebrating. x 🍾 2d

AllDebooks @dabbe oh no, I hope you feel better soon. Sending hugs xx 2d
