NO KINGS! Tomorrow on Trump's birthday, we protest across the entire nation. Check the website for No Kings events near you!
No Kings Event Map: nokings.org/#map
Find one near you, write down the address and time, and head out tomorrow. (You don't have to sign up for anything, all you need is the address).
Recommended that you bring a mask, hat, water and snacks. Safety Goggles or Glasses would also be a good idea if you have them.
Bring a sign or the US Flag if you have one.
For privacy reasons you may want to avoid bringing your phone, or place it inside a faraday bag (a really well sealed tinfoil pouch will work, and put it in airplane mode to avoid draining your battery) until you get home.
If you have a first aid kit, it wouldn't hurt to bring it, just in case.

Beaverton/Hillsboro line, OR
I have a confession. Every single photograph before this one was captured on either an iPhone 6+, or an iPhone 11 Pro Max.
For a very, very long time, I had justified to myself “oh, I don’t need an actual camera, my phone is just as good.” However, three weeks ago I picked up a DSLR for the first time and I fell in love with the sheer power and expression such a tool has.
So I got a small one, a baby, a Canon Rebel T7. After a bunch of crappy shots because I was still getting used to it, I think this one is good enough to share. It doesn’t meet the par of my previous work, but it feels like I have much more control over what I create now. This is magnificent and wondrous.
Thank you for seeing me make art with actual relevant tools!

Trump fails to overturn $5m damages award to E Jean Carroll for defamation
Donald Trump has lost his latest legal attempt to challenge the $5m in damages awarded against him for defaming E Jean Carroll, the New York writer who a jury found was sexually abused by the president in the 1990s, before he embarked on his political career.
A US appeals court in New York City on Friday denied Trump’s request to reconsider its decision in December to uphold the jury’s award of $5m to Carroll. The court was divided in its opinion, with two Trump-appointed judges, Steven Menashi and Michael Park, dissenting.
Carroll, a former magazine columnist, accused Trump of attacking her around 1996 in a department store dressing room in Manhattan. In 2023, a civil jury trial concluded that Trump did sexually abuse her and then defamed her in 2022 when he denied the allegations as a hoax and said that Carroll was “not my type”.

Hundreds of US marines arrive in LA as large protests are planned across US
Federal troops continued to be on duty in the streets of Los Angeles on Friday after a series of court rulings, and more arrived, with large protests planned in California and across the country this weekend against the Trump administration’s aggressive anti-immigration raids and a big military parade in Washington DC.
About 200 US marines arrived in LA on Friday morning. This followed Donald Trump’s extraordinary decision to deploy national guard troops to LA last weekend, over the objections of the governor of California, Gavin Newsom. The marines were to take over protecting a federal building, US Army Maj Gen Scott Sherman, who commands the taskforce of marines and national guardsmen, said.
The streets had been mostly calm overnight going into Friday morning, marking the seventh day of protests across various areas and the third day of an overnight curfew in a small part of the huge downtown area.

Iran’s UN ambassador says 78 killed, 320 wounded in Israeli strikes
The death toll comes after Israel’s attacks across Iran which hit dozens of targets in and around Tehran including nuclear facilities and official headquarters.
Among those killed by Israeli airstrikes include scientists and commanders.
As reported by the Guardian’s Jason Burke and Deepa Parent, Iranians described chaotic scenes where they saw windows shaking and people screaming.
“Traffic jams and clueless crowds are still trying to make sense of what’s happening,” witnesses told the Guardian, adding: “Smoke is still billowing from residential streets and there’s debris around homes. The sky is red and we fear there will be more attacks.”
