I wasn't able to attend No Kings in person due to an attack of vertigo, but I watched your live stream. The turnout everywhere was amazing!

Vertigo is awful. My mom gets it at times and it’s debilitating. But you were with us all in spirit and I’m so glad you tuned in!

I get that too! No caffeine, salty treats or alcohol. Get some Meclizine, it's a cheap wonder drug!!

Have no fear, we marched for all like minded folks!

Thank you, Olivia! I was at No Kings in Reading, PA, in the heart of very red Berks County. It was reported in the Reading Eagle that we had 2000 people peacefully and enthusiastically protesting. Our next protest is in West Reading on July 12. I hope to see more of my retired Catholic school teacher friends there!!

Thank you for this inspirational message! I was at No Kings in Miami with over 3000 of my neighbors. It was a protest by people from all over the world, flags from so many countries, so many immigrants standing up for democracy. Many had signs remembering their parents struggle to get here and wanting to preserve what they held dear. Many signs remembered the Disappeared. Proud Boy leader and Miami resident, Enrique Tarrio, showed up and it was inspiring to watch a young Latina call him out to his face for his traitorous actions without any fear as the crowd spontaneously began to chant "Traitor". She was just one of many people of all ages, ethnicities and backgrounds who were fearlessly and enthusiastically standing for the Constitution and Democracy. (And there was a second No Kings going on over on Miami Beach!)

Thank you for your wonderful posts! I really appreciate the points that you made in this lecture. Yes, I was at the no Kings rally and we had,

I think about five or 6000 people in Colorado Springs. It was a very peaceful happy time and we felt like we were doing something!

We had several hundred protesters in small town Middletown Maryland. We also had a few thousand in Frederick MD. I attended both, wearing my TACO hat! One person had a sign advertising the new Donald Trump Sandwich! Stale white bread, full of baloney, slathered with Russian dressing, and a small pickle.

I shall never give in .. giving up just isn’t in my DNA .. we must continue our presence in the streets, along with speaking out whenever and whereever we can!

Thank you Olivia!

I did not make this protest in person as we celebrated my mother's 93rd birthday (yup, same day as taco), but I'll be there for the next! We made it to the San Francisco "Hand Off" Ocean Beach human banner in early April, which gave us hope. This last banner was so impressive, 3x as big as Hands Off. Let's go!
