Hi! I'm Frango. Solar-powered SoCal water baby with lots of opinions. I like cats better than I like most people. Dogs are ok, too.

So we were on the road today. Couldn't attend #NoKings rally at our usual spot so we stopped by 3 along the way. 1st El Dorado Hills, then Placerville before wrapping up in South Lake Tahoe. Saw some pretty clever signs & lots of friendly people. So much fun but my feet are very tired. 💙🇺🇲💙

Adding ❌👑 to your handle is a simple fun free little way to promote No Kings Day in the lead up to what is shaping up to be largest pro-democracy protest of the year (so far). I don't want to blow this out of proportion, but it might literally save our republic. nokings.org

On June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. ...

As a German I will forever be grateful to all who fought for the liberation of Europe. But as a historian I am looking at front pages today and must wonder: What is the point of remembering #VEDay 80 years on, what is the point of our thanks, when we are failing to protect the sacrifices made? 🧵
