You can't do too many of these too closely because then people get fatigued, they get desensitized.

They really do have to be major events.

I don't know what comes next, but I'm going to be on a call.

It's a post-No Kings call for organizers, activists, and independent media this week.

with the organizers of No Kings to figure out what exactly comes next.

And then as soon as I have information about that, certainly I will tell you.

Now I want to say once again, this is a message I sent to Trump supporters over the weekend and I think it's worth sending again.

There are, we know there are many Trump supporters that are questioning continuing to support this regime and for some of them this weekend they looked around and they saw in their communities in blue States, but also in red States in the traditional liberal cities,

but also in other cities that aren't usually or as commonly associated as being the left-wing cities.

They saw people who dislike Trump organize together and get out there in a positive, peaceful, nonviolent way, friendly to each other, helping each other, giving each other water.

And so I know that there are some MAGAs, because some of them have posted to Twitter about it, and some of them have written to me, who are questioning.

They are getting into the questioning phase as to this cult that they are a part of.

We should not shame them.

We should welcome them.

If you encounter any of these folks, if you see them on Twitter, if you see them on other social media or in the real world, we should praise people who are able to say, hey, I'm reconsidering.

I'm trying to think for myself and evaluate the facts to make a decision.

Always be welcoming of them.

We know from cult psychology, shaming people who are thinking of leaving the cult

often pushes them right back into it where it's comfortable and seemingly safe, although it's often not actually safe.

It feels like it's safe and it pushes them back in.
