Indivisible Edinburgh and the Persisterhood went to London today for No King's Day, joining thousands of protesters marching against the far right, authoritarianism, and the Trump Regime. We met a lot of American expats who are fighting to keep democracy.

The UK might be taking the Epstein files seriously - at least with respect to the sharing of confidential information. We'll see if they pursue the sexual misconduct as well. Here's hoping!

Dear Denmark & Greenland, Please be friendly allies and invite the President of the United States for a visit to discuss how to all get along. Oh, and, while he is there, please arrest him as a war criminal and detain him for the protection of the Western Hemisphere. Thanks, Citizens of the USA

Support the 2nd Amendment by regulating militias. The Constitution leaves that power to the states. Once we regulate the militias, anybody with a gun who is not a registered member of a regulated militia can be disarmed. Why are no states doing this? @giffords.org @gavinnewsom.bsky.social

Let them know you will not consume any NexStar media until Kimmel is back on the air. NexStar Media Group owns 201 Stations and 138 Local Websites, so check your local stations to know what to boycott. They are trying to acquire Tegna, which owns 64 stations, so boycott those as well.

#Edinburgh At the #NoKings protest Saturday we agreed to meet every Tuesday from noon to 1pm at the US Consulate to continue our protest action. It takes about 3.5% of a population maintaining sustained action to effectuate change. Be part of the 3.5% for #TacoTuesday

After today, we will know who is fit to lead the Democrats in the Senate.
Senator CHUCK SCHUMER is well past his ‘best by’ date.  The Senate Democrats need new leadership.
NOW!

The solution may be for the courts to hold anyone following Trump's orders in contempt of court and lock them up. Trump cannot do it all himself. Nobody else has his immunity of the orders are unlawful.
