livingdebI'm happy to report that the No Kings protest seemed just like all the other protests I've been to. But with a bigger crowd.
I noticed the uniformed folks this time, though, because of the news. They were just standing around talking to each other while staying alert. Someone posted video of them noticing being filmed and then smiling and waving. So, as usual, my life is nothing like the news, for which I'm very grateful.
Also as usual, the best parts were the signs and costumes. I saw two protesters dressed as the president. One was held captive in the golden lasso of a gal dressed as Wonder Woman (thus forced to tell the truth), holding a sign showing truths he was saying. One was in a fancy airplane, decorated with golden balloons saying "ME."
Favorite signs:
* Pawns can never be king
* Bring back empathy and competence
* Fight ignorance, not immigrants
* Our monarchs are butterflies
* No Faux-King Way!
* Who Would Jesus Deport?
* If I wanted a king, I'd buy a mattress
* Veto the Cheeto
* You know it's bad when the introverts are out here
* Trump for Mayor - Alcatraz 2027
* If it was Kamala, we'd be at brunch right now
