Honestly, regardless of whether they're favorable or not favorable, Clarence Thomas opens the door to maybe rescinding gay marriage and throwing that out the window, too. You don't want to have to get the whole Trump agenda in front of the 6-3 majority on the Supreme Court. That's not a great long-term play, to your point. And like public outcry matters.

It really pissed Trump off that there was a women's march the day after his inauguration. It really did. And maybe, I mean, I don't know how that, you know, informed the decisions he made in the weeks thereafter. But I do think the public saying this isn't us, you can't do this in our name is really meaningful. And it helps. I think the machinery of democracy requires that.

It doesn't have to be just a generalized march. There are really specific things and specific groups of peoples and institutions that could be at the center of any and every protest. And I think that that would have a maybe more meaningful impact in Trump 2.0 than just, you know, kind of a march on the mall.

Like, when I was outside the Treasury Department, it was like, it wasn't huge, but it was like a thousand people. And it felt like, okay, this is... this is both a protest and a rally, right? This is in a meaningful inflection point for the Democrats and the citizens who are watching this and are not okay with it. And there needs, I think, to be more of that and should be targeted.

What happened with your son and daughter? Yes. What exactly? What are they in for? They're in for about everything. We looked up the exact charges, and just about everything isn't a bad description. Jonathan faced 17 counts and multiple alleged felonies, including assaulting officers with a dangerous weapon. In Jonathan's case, that meant charging at police with a flagpole.
