Why we are 350: Scientists overwhelmingly agree that 350ppm CO2 is the upper limit to sustain life as humans have lived it. For more than 800,000 years atmospheric CO2 varied between roughly 180 to 280ppm ([link removed]) .

Our Earth passed 350ppm CO2 during 1988!
Mauna Loa Observatory ([link removed]) - We are now approaching 430ppm!
On many days we're up 1.6 to 2.5ppm from last year

Brooke Gladstone: During Trump's first term, Adam Serwer coined the phrase the cruelty is the point to describe his policies. You offer an alternative read. You say silence is the point.

Corey Robin: "that's not why the funding is being pulled from all of these universities, why funding is being pulled from every state, why employees all across the federal government are being fired. Let's take the case of support for Israel. The Trump administration has no interest in being cruel about that issue. They're trying to produce a certain kind of belief system by silencing those who would disagree with them." - Brooklyn College professor Corey Robin, author of Fear: The History of a Political Idea

We will NOT be silenced!

A couple of notable quotes in the news:

On Thursday, actor Robert De Niro ([link removed]) called on ([link removed]) Americans to take part in the upcoming “No Kings Day,” referring to the American Revolution as the “original No Kings.”

“We’ve had two and a half centuries of democracy since then, often challenging, sometimes messy, always essential,” De Niro said in a video shared on Indivisible’s Instagram page ([link removed]) . “And we fought in two world wars to preserve it. Now we have a would-be king who wants to take it away, King Donald I. F‑‑‑ that!”


------------------------------------------------------------

House Speaker Mike Johnson ([link removed]) (R-La.) slammed the “No Kings Day” protests in an interview on Fox News on Friday, ([link removed]) when he said he’s “a very patient guy, but I’ve had it with these people.”

“The theory we have right now [is] they have a ‘Hate America’ rally that’s scheduled for Oct. 18 on the National Mall,” Johnson said. “It’s all the pro-Hamas wing and the antifa people, they’re all coming out.”
No Kings Day
This Saturday, October 18, 11 - 2
Cathedral Square ([link removed])
520 E Wells St, Milwaukee


In America, we don’t put up with would-be kings.

[link removed] peaceful movement is only getting bigger and stronger. “NO KINGS” is more than just a slogan—it’s the foundation our nation was built upon. Born in the streets, carried by millions in chants and on posters, it echoes from city blocks to rural town squares, uniting people across this country to fight dictatorship together.

The president thinks his rule is absolute. But in America, we don’t have kings, and we won’t back down against chaos, corruption, and cruelty. Grow our movement and join us.

Where: Cathedral Square, Milwaukee ([link removed])
When: 11-2 CDT, October 18, 2025

There are a half dozen No Kings events in the Milwaukee area!

Find More Local Events ([link removed])

A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.
