No Kings Day

[wtg]

Very large crowd at our No Kings rally. I live about a mile from where it was held, and the street parking was full to within four blocks of my house. There are two schools within a few blocks of the park where the rally happened; their parking lots were completely filled.

Great sign!

Kudos to all of you who protested.

This is all unbelievably horrible.

I think I can fairly say the county is at its lowest point in my lifetime.

Local coverage of rallies in suburban Chicago. I'm in Arlington Heights; there's video of our event from a news helicopter. They get to AH at around the eight minute mark of the video.

Mount Prospect is the town next door to AH. On the ground video there.

Oh, no. Duplicated again. Don't know if I'll get the hang of this platform, however welcome it is.

Oh, no. Duplicated again. Don't know if I'll get the hang of this platform, however welcome it is. (Maybe I'm pressing "submit" too often. I do it because it seemed otherwise the post remained open to editing.) Let's see what happens now.

We had estimated 600 on Staten Island. Some frogs, chickens, eagles, too. It was great. As everywhere else, just a friendly, happy atmosphere. Went to a nearby pizza restaurant afterward, one of the best in all of NYC.

Needed to get to Tucson. Surgery to the other eye coming up. There was a small crowd in Leadville, Co. when I went through. There was a large crowd in Trump voting Alamosa when I went through around noon. I honked and waved.

[Daniel]

No worries, Amanda! There are so many features of this platform that I haven't learned how to use. I'm trying but each one takes time and attention to gain a working knowledge. I'm moving at a slow pace.

I'm pretty sure there must have been protests in this metro area but I didn't look it up and didn't hear of anything. I don't think there was one near me or I probably would have at least heard about it.

Little Williamsburg had the second largest turnout in Virginia ...

Great!

I could never think of Williamsburg as, "little," but that's just me, and, yes, I understand it's a term of endearment.

At first, I was thinking maybe Little Williamsburg was a town I'd never heard about before now.

I bet there was a protest at USF in Tampa.

President Lee Jae Myung of South Korea presented President Trump with a replica of a golden crown excavated from one of the ancient royal tombs in Gyeongju.

Mr. Lee presented him with a medal symbolizing the nation’s highest honor. Then came a replica of a golden crown that was excavated from one of the ancient royal tombs in Gyeongju, the seat of a long-gone kingdom. “I’d like to wear it right now,” Mr. Trump said.
