Next time do the first one of the year in May or June. Saturday the high temperatures is 33 degrees with wind out of the north 10-20 mph. I don’t know if I have enough layer of clothing to stay warm for the day!!!
The No Kings protests are good. But we also need to be cognizant that this is a necessary but not sufficient first step. There is much work to be done going forward.
Exactly. Like Ezra was saying, protests are just one tactic in the toolbox. They aren't meant to be the only thing.
No Kings is important to send a message to the country that the opposition is real and growing. But it's also an opportunity for people to build civic communities and organize further together, which helps to make the kind of organized public push-back we saw in Minneapolis possible across the country.
Yeah, he was murdered by the supposedly professional trained ones. There is no difference when they are given a blank check and a false belief in immunity. Then again, they seem to be so far immune from a real investigation.
The Republicans will not say "No kings" simply because they have replaced our constitution with their unitary executive! They should hang with Trump for that.
One minor quibble about the resolution of the shutdown being a success. They did kill Alex Pretti and invade Iran and Venezuela afterwards so I am not sure we can just take the political decline in isolation and declare success.
3.5% Joe Trippi was right.

There were a lot of younger people at the protest against the ICE facility in Roxbury NJ. I think we’ll see more young people tomorrow!!

I did not realize Pretti was murdered by border patrol. I did not know there was a difference between ICE and Border Patrol.

For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:"

Unbelievable.
There will be at least 1,000 or more in Orange County CA. A bunch of different protests in every small town.
Just saying: There were and will be ten times 150 people at the rallies in Poughkeepsie! :-)
