No Kings Day

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.
