Forget all the “Protests don’t matter” and “No Kings is just silly” nonsense.

Protests matter. Societal resistance has been hardening. It’s a massive problem for the MAGA regime.

And “No Kings” is crucial as part of an effort to dispel the idea that “real America” stands behind Trump.

Physical security and cryptography can learn from each other, part 11367:

Hotels wisely don't put the room number on guest keycards so if someone finds your card, they'd have to exhaustively search the hotel to find the room it opens.

Some hotels now have elevators programmed to only let you call the floor for which your keycard is coded, preventing guests from wandering to other floors.

But it also means the elevator can be used as an efficient oracle to determine the floor of a found key.

Sending strength to all who are standing up and speaking out today!

Not a single person of consequence believes that No Kings is some magical solution to save democracy; no serious person argues that occasionally joining a protest is all anyone needs to do.

But as an exercise of shared democratic participation, protests matter very much.

Remember Clockwork Orange?

You have been tied to a chair and your eyelids are being forced open. You WILL watch the movie, but you do get a choice of which one:

Sorry, suicide is not an option.

"Attendees at the 2026 Conservation Political Action Conference seem to be dazed and confused after a disastrously chaotic month for President Donald Trump. In the last 30 days, he has started a war in the Middle East, deployed federal agents to airports, and refused to end the partial government shutdown."

Let's go. See you in the streets. #NoKings

In 1960, Ormond Gigli turned a doomed row of New York brownstones into something unforgettable. With no budget, he gathered 43 women, gave them full creative freedom, and placed them in empty windows just hours before demolition. Shot from a fire escape, the result wasn’t just a photo—it was a fleeting moment of beauty, frozen seconds before it vanished forever.
