โ€œPresident Trump keeps acting like heโ€™s got a crown on his head. We are here to remind him that this is a country that is built on its democracy, that we have checks and balances, that we have separation of powers, we have due process. Every single person is here to remind him that we do not put up with kings in this country,โ€

So heartening to see several overpasses with signs this morning in Oakland. Wish I were out there, but I planned a hangout for middle kid and their crush without checking the date. The other kid's mom is out there, though, and I asked her to yell extra loud for us. ๐Ÿ“ฃ #NoKings

I thought the #NoKings protests started at noon in Denver?
Now it says a fair starts at noon?
Can anyone confirm?


The thing that occurs to me, considering the #NoKings protests, is that quotation -

"Any man who must say, 'I am the king,' is no king."

- observing, as one does, that Trump says little else.
