Anybody go to a No Kings rally today?

I wasn't able to but saw some coverage on the news. Looks like the turnout was pretty good, including some first timers who are against the war in Iran.

We went to the previous two. Skipped this one; Ms. RP is sick (caught it from me) plus I wanted to go to a concert in the evening, and it would become too much to do in one day.

Yes! It was a gorgeous day in Portland, Oregon. A rally at the waterfront, and then a march. So many signs!

Always more fun to protest with friends.

The unions meet before the main rally, and marched in over the bridge together.

My group didn’t actually march; we participated in a performance art piece with umbrellas on the Burnside Bridge. If you zoom in, you can see us with our white umbrellas at the top of the second E in the word KEEP.

That’s my protest umbrella/parasol/sign. Very handy! I made it for the first No Kings event, and just keep adding to it.

Did anyone else go?

Wonderful! Wow.

I couldn't have gone anywhere, haven't been to one, and the only one I heard about was at The Villages of all places.

I live in an evangelical Christian neighborhood in Clearwater. It's not an experience I plan to have again.

I'll bet there was one at USF in Tampa.

I didn’t go, but I wanted to. Besides the fact that my foot makes that kind of activity pretty much impossible these days, a long time ago Mr. SK asked me not to attend protests, because he worries that if something happened to me, he wouldn’t be able to help. Which makes sense.

My mother (almost 82 now) also wanted to go but didn’t (concerns about her age etc.)

So we support in other ways…
