Heads up: No Vote Left Behind PAC is sending emails claiming there's a No Kings rally on June 14 in Mesa, AZ. There is no such rally. They are not a No Kings coalition partner.

This is a deceptive tactic — using a trusted brand to collect contact info and RSVPs for their own PAC list.

If you got this email: don't click, don't RSVP, don't unsubscribe via their link.

This Atlantic piece is worth your time. It maps the full spectrum of the masculinist movement — from real, valid concerns about young men to the openly misogynist fringe that wants women out of public life entirely. The through-line is clarifying, and chilling.
