‪We evidently were busy with 11 million friends according to: Alt National Park Service‬‪@altnps.bsky.social‬ · 17m 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.

Today is the Army's 250th birthday. It's also Flag Day. It's also Nat'l Bourbon, Pop Goes the Weasel, Cucumber, New Mexico & Rose Day. Famous b'days incl Harriet Beecher Stowe, Burl Ives, Steffi Graff & Che Guevara. Nothing else worth mentioning.

Oops, I missed it. Happy belated birthday! Sorry I couldn't make it even though I RSVP'd. There was this nice lady with a lamp and she kept talking about a 'golden door'... Anyway, she and I went to this big party with several million people. It was great. You shoulda been there.

Has he been crying? I can't help but think of "It's My Party I'll Cry If I Want To" by Lesley Gore (no disrespect intended to her). The lyrics seem apt. No Kings. Abolish ICE.
