@milestaylor.bsky.social I’m hoping to partner with the reading room and bookmobile. An obsidian vault can visualize the connections between people, entities, locations, dates, etc in the files. THE FILES ARE ON THE SHELF or in hands, bound in books. THE CONNECTIONS ARE IN THE Obsidian GRAPH.

The Reading Room Has 3,437 Volumes of the Epstein Files. I Am Asking Whether an Obsidian Vault Graph Could Help the Public Navigate Them. The Blutterfly Effect Project invites the Trump–Epstein Memorial Reading Room to add an Obsidian vault. If you know someone involved, please share it with them.

Hey, my obsidian vault project is stalled because my Chromebook doesn’t have enough processing speed, RAM or storage and it keeps disconnecting from the internet. I’m trying to crowd source a new laptop via a wishlist to avoid affecting my benefits. Do you think you can help me get the word out?

$1,000 to the first person who can prove, with a spreadsheet and public sources, that 8M+ attended a No Kings protest on 3/28/26 or 7M+ attended on 10/18/25. One entry per location, no duplicates, with source links and low/high estimates where applicable. No guesses; just proof. #NoKings #NoBS

I question the claim that 8 million people attended the March 28, 2026 #NoKings protests. The coalition uses an undisclosed formula to estimate overall totals, and its last three formula-based totals were well above what independent researchers could verify from public sources. #NoKings #NoBS

FACT CHECK: There have been 4 national No Kings day protests: 1) February 17, 2025 (No Kings on President’s Day), 2) June 14, 2025, 3) October 18, 2025 and 4) March 28, 2026. The first one is often overlooked but it happened and should be included. Some are rewriting history #NoKings #NoBS

Transparency matters. The public deserves to know when protest turnout numbers are projections not publicly sourced counts. No Kings Day formula-based project totals have been announced which greatly differ from independent crowd counts show. Accurate reporting matters! #NoKings #NoBS

Transparency matters:The No Kings coalition has been reporting formula-based participation totals for each national #NoKingsDay without widely saying they’re formula-based. And each No Kings Coalition announced participation totals has been much higher than what CCC later confirms via public record

PREDICTION: The No Kings Coalition is going to announce participation rates for 3/28’s No Kings Day protests at 5pm Eastern on Saturday. That number is likely to be tens of thousands or millions less than what the Crowd Counting Consortium (CCC) eventually releases. No Kings uses a formula! #NoKings

Why are so many people connected to Jeffrey Epstein also connected to Harvard University? It makes me wonder if I can trust some of the research that I’ve valued so much over the years, etc

No Kings 10/18 day the coalition reported 7 million but the Crowd Counting Consortium(CCC) could only confirm 3.1-4.1 million in public sources. That’s less what CCC confirmed for 6/14 No Kings which was 2–4.8 million. No Kings 6/14 day the coalition reported as “over 5 million” #NoKings

UPDATE ON THE CROWD SOURCING ON CROWD COUNTS FOR 10/18: As of 10/24 in the morning, we have public sources of 4,390,890. That’s from 1,327 events out of 2,785 events we currently know about. Which is less than 50%. If the median holds then that will be 5,557,290 participants. 🧵 #NoKings

UPDATE ON THE CROWD SOURCING ON CROWD COUNTS FOR 10/18: As of 10/22 at night, we have public sources of 4,389,590. That’s from 1,327 events out of 2,785 events we currently know about. Which is less than 50%. If the median holds then that will be 5,555,990 participants. #NoKings

UPDATE ON THE CROWD SOURCING ON CROWD COUNTS FOR 10/18: We have public sources of 3,815,160. That’s from 1,311 events out of 2,783 events we currently know about. Which is less than 50%. If the median holds then that will be 4,991,960 participants. It does not beats 2017 women’s March #NoKings 🧵
