New in PN: No Kings was a huge success. Just look at Trump's response. "Calling this movement 'No Kings' turns out to have been a stroke of genius, because Trump’s response was to essentially say *Yeah, I’m the king — and because I’m the king, I can poop on people!*"

I know it’s tempting to roll our eyes whenever celebrities ‘take a stand’ or do activism - see Gal Gadot’s Imagine video - but the fact is, this is more of a stand than most of Congress is willing to take. It’s easy to mock, but more prominent should be doing this
