New York Proclaims ‘No Kings’

While crowd counting is notoriously difficult, anecdotal reports on the No Kings protests this past Saturday peg turnout as much higher than even the roughly five million who made their voices heard across the nation at the June rallies.

Here in New York, marchers streamed down the avenues and the vibe was fellowship and humor among fellow citizens, with palpable anger directed at the Trump administration’s authoritarian shredding of laws, open-air corruption, and theatrical cruelty.

Like Sgt. Schultz, J.D. Vance knows nothing about the incompetence, corruption, or lawlessness of his boss.
A satirical lie to answer a vicious one.
The country is going to the dogs — which is better than going mad.

As civil rights marchers, Vietnam War protestors, Iraq War resisters, labor organizers, and so many other patriots know, the fight against Trump will be a long slog, so schedule your life accordingly.

 

Historical reminders from oppressions past.
The old and the young all agree — he must be stopped.
Dig in for the long haul.
