Thousands participating in peaceful 'No Kings' protests across Utah
A full day of "No Kings" protests are scheduled across Utah on Saturday as part of a coordinated effort of nationwide demonstrations against the Trump administration.FOX 13 News (FOX 13 News Utah (KSTU))
Als Teenager in den 90ern habe ich meine Oma zum ersten Mal gefragt, wie das denn war, damals, Nazizeit. Ich hatte irgendwie Angst zu fragen, aber sie hat einfach angefangen zu erzählen, in einem Ernst, den ich bis dahin nicht von ihr kannte. Sie hat mir nicht alles erzählt, aber schon in diesem ersten Gespräch fielen diese Sätze: "Wir haben das irgendwann alle gewusst. Keiner kann erzählen, dass er nichts gewusst hat." Und, vor allem: "Das darf nie wieder passieren."

If you're protesting today, make sure you're staying fed and hydrated.
If you want to help but can't stay at the protest, bring them food and water.

Good protest turnout today in Bev. I overheard someone say that this was easily 4-5x the usual showing.
Only one guy who made sure to pass through with his MAGA flag a few times (and was appropriately boo'd), and no MAGA counter-protesters.
I only saw one cop, but there was at least one police drone keeping an eye on things.

1. He didn’t work for Walz. Deliberate disinformation.
2. It’s not at all surprising that right wing cultists would try and spread misinformation and disinformation about this horrific assassination.
3. Report those who do.

in reply to Laffy • • •The fact that Walz appointed him as a *business member* of his workforce development board does not mean Boelter is a democrat.
It makes perfect sense to be *bipartisan* in these kinds of appointment officialdocuments.sos.mn.gov/F…
But of course people read “Walz Appointee”and immediately considers Boelter a democrat.

Terrorism, it would be called, if our disgraceful click-&-money-grubbing MSM were not allergic to tagging white people (their 'valued' consumers) with that moniker.
That's all it is.

in reply to Catherine McCarthy • • •😢 Boelter shot the Hortman's dog too, according to Ken Martin Minnesotan DNC Chair:
“Unspeakable. Just learned from Rep. Erin Koegel that Speaker Hortman’s kids had to put down Melissa’s beloved dog, Gilbert — after Vance Boelter shot the dog while assassinating Melissa and Mark. The cruelty knows no bounds. My heart aches,” he wrote.
