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.

Apparently we had 1200 at No Kings in Alexandria VA. Among the several speakers was our Representative Don Beyer.

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.

So sorry about the cats. We marched for you and am glad it may have invigorated you!

Joan's avatar

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!

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.

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

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

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!

In Washington DC walking there now.

I saw the massive crowd on TV. Must have drove Trump nuts.

MN and I think rather small 200 crowd for 20k. About same as June, I hoped for more. But a LOT of cars honking in support. Several non-surprise either hot rod Mustang or about 4 big loud jacked up trucks roaring and smoking tires, one with the huge double smoke stacks sticking up in back rolled coal, diesel. Oversized loud smokestacks sticking up behind the cab doesn’t seem like a great way to pick up dates, get lucky. Frustrated INCEL and can’t figure out why ? Counter protesters a few, peaceful is good, free speech. Someone rather near set off individual fire cracker 5 times I think as attempt to sound like pistol. Small town doesn’t seem very likely real, everyone ignored. But there was one undercover lady with her back to the speaker and crowd at all times. She gave sharp looks at fire cracker sound. Continually scanning and alert. I really appreciated someone eagle eying the situation and ready to call for assistance if needed. A LOT of traffic. I wonder if more than usual due to a considerable number doing their bit by driving by honking all the way. Perhaps less mobile people. Or families with young kids. It’s a good thing anyway we look at it. I’m antsy to hear more across the nation. I’m sure Mike will elaborate Monday. I looked for a way to rerun Joe Sudbay role today but have not found that yet. Cheers all.

Our small village of Warwick, NY in the beautiful Mid- Hudson Valley had a large crowd of citizens come out for a mid-morning rally. So many folks have come out for every rally since the first Women’s March at the beginning of Trump’s first disastrous term. A very engaged Indivisible group here. Protests were held in many small and large towns throughout the state. And of course the massive turnout in New York City. All peaceful. As everyone of the protests against this Unconstitutional administration has been. No Kings!
