This is truly one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen in a long time! I was in LA a week ago when ICE started their raids. I was staying a couple of blocks from the federal building and saw firsthand - ICE and other LEO’s inciting violence against loud but peaceful protestors! I wish I could be there today! SO PROUD to be a Californian and so proud of LA!! Let freedom ring!!!!

It’s unbelievable the number of protestors that are showing support for the rule of law and our democracy. But it does no good unless these people show signs of throwing every Republican in Congress out of office. It’s not just Trump is every GD Republican in congress that continues to support a felon.

Don’t bet the farm on it. The more you pull crap like this the more people flock to the Republicans.

I don't do business with trolls. Fortunately for me, substack has a trollbegone function: I click the link, and hasta la vista troll.

Unfortunately, a medical issue prevents me from taking to the streets today. I’m in Los Angeles, and I just put up my brand new American flag hanging from our front porch. It’s my flag too. Happy Flag Day everyone and stay safe.

I was sick too and couldn’t go to the rally. However, I place my flag on my porch and am very proud. I hope you doing better to day. I love L.A. 💙

Thank you it’s minor shoulder surgery so I shouldn’t be out in a crowd where I can get jostled. Look, I marched to protest the Vietnam war when I was 17 years old in 1969. I can’t believe we still have to do this shit 55 years later.

Grand Rapids, Michigan was also, as Always, diverse in terms of the citizens - by age, gender, orientation, skin color, first language, religious backgrounds, heights, weights, physical abilities, education, socio-economic status that came out to support each other and all the diverse but same causes in protest of the lawless President, and to Defend Our Constitution!

I want a new administration. I want all the Trumpies gone. I want actual, qualified seasoned executives in cabinet positions, the crazy GOP budget put in the recycle bin, and get all the programs Trump has stopped, defunded, etc reastarted, the fired personnel rehired, and all the horribles (formerly deplorables) arrested and imprisoned appropriately. Seriously, Kamala Harris won the 24 election but Musk had rigged the outcome way back last spring and summer (24). Which is why Trump was going around telling people they wouldn’t need to vote.
