Millions will turn out for No Kings, may be largest protest in history. Republicans have only made it bigger by attacking it. Some blustering GOP governors have activated their National Guard.
Along with many fellow retirement community members, we will be marching in the NO KINGS! Parade and rally here in the bluest of blue cities, Davis, California. Many of us are veterans of the Vietnam War and/or veterans of the 60’s anti-war, Civil Rights, and Free Speech movements. We may have gray hair and an unsteady walk, but we know what’s right. This moment is too important to ignore.
What a day it was! I wss blown away at the crowd in Times Square and then, just standing on the sidelines downtown I couldn't believe how long it went.
Bethlehem PA march will be helped by our mayor and the police. We have marshals at intersections, keeping everyone together, peaceful, cooperating, and directing traffic.
Tone: Newsroom Surrealism with Pop-Culture Harmonics
No Kings Day is a surreal political satire from the Accidentally Sideways™ Universe, where a single misinterpreted AI command sets the nation literally ablaze — and figuratively fabulous. When an ego-drunk president orders his artificial intelligence to “make America on fire,” chaos ignites across the map and the media turns meltdown into music. News anchors report like influencers, frogs become symbols of democracy, and RuPaul climbs the charts as “Red Hot,” while Alicia Keys’ “Girl on Fire” replaces the National Anthem in a few states. Written in the fast, voice-driven rhythm of Script-Coms™, the story turns national absurdity into choreography — part sitcom, part prophecy.
Imagine a world where people pause for joy — where it’s mandatory to take an extra ten-minute paid break whenever there’s a yard sale within a block of your worldview, and absurdity and delight shake hands before spinning each other in the first dance you ever learned in a barn.
Alas, I'm still grounded, but I'm cheering folks on for No Kings. Also, hats off to the Portland protesters who got the idea of dressing up as inflatable FROGS and cartoon characters. This makes the entire "threat" of protesters to be utterly absurd. It's a dada response for a dada/viscious violence era. Our ancestors from WWI must be proud.
Our cats continue to be sick. Dominic and Maggie now both have EITHER inflammatory bowel disease or intestinal cancer. Since they are brother/sister and 14 years old, I opted NOT to have biopsies. Meanwhile, their Dad, Luke, continues to have a terrible herpes eye. So, I'm treat that with 3 different eye meds, ever 3-4 hours. I'm officially running a cat nursing home.
Greetings from Bloomington Indiana! My wife and are here for IU homecoming and are planning on attending the march at 2pm and then heading over to the stadium for the IU Michigan football game. Everyone who’s out here at an event be safe!
My husband and I went to the protest in Little Rock. There were a guy in a chicken costume, unicorn costume, turkey costume. Very peaceful. There were no provocateurs there. It lasted about an hour. That was at 11:00 am. I think there was about 1,000 people. Then we went to the protest in Hot Springs, Arkansas at 2pm. There was about 500-600 people there. Many cars honking their horns for us. My sign said Eggs are so $$ because of the chickens in the GOP. You took an oath to the constitution. It was an awesome day.
People who continue to support Donald Dipshit have not a clue about Democracy and don’t give a shit about any founding principles of this country. They revel in projecting the misery of their own sad lives unto everyone else. They are demented deranged delusional and mentally ill

Apparently we had 1200 at No Kings in Alexandria VA. Among the several speakers was our Representative Don Beyer.
Love Don Beyer and have him on the show a lot! Great to hear.
We had a couple hundred people out for 2 hours in Utica NY, very enthusiastic.
Wonderful

So sorry about the cats. We marched for you and am glad it may have invigorated you!
So sorry for their troubles, obviously you love them and care for them, they’re lucky to have someone like you to look after them!
Catherine, heart goes out to you with kitties! Been there. ❤️
Your cats are very blessed to have the love and care you provide.🌞 You’re there for them and that’s what’s most Important.
Passing out small American flags in San Jose, CA later today 🇺🇸

Glad to get the reports on what happened in places like Arkansas far beyond the big cities. And what a great sign!

It was a beautiful day in Phoenix, AZ. No counter protests, lots of amazing people ( estimated 20,000 people), it was a great day for a protest!
Thank you Donna!
In Washington DC walking there now.
I saw the massive crowd on TV. Must have drove Trump nuts.
