Y'ALL.
I just got home from the #NoKings protest in #OKC.
Early numbers reports and a statement from the rally podium say THIS WAS THE BIGGEST PROTEST IN #OKLAHOMA HISTORY.
It was gorgeous.
We marched for about 1.2 miles to the rallying point outside City Hall. This took about 30 min.
Spouse & I were with 5 friends (3 more joined us later). By the time we had been at the rallying point for 20 min, the marchers further back WERE STILL COMING.
Literally every flavor of human represented.

Today is the day! The #NoKings protest on the Coastside starts at Noon, along the corner of Main Street and Highway 92.
Remember: please stay on the sidewalk and out of driveways, planters, and medians.
If the crowd is large, groups can head towards the corner of Highway 1 and Highway 92.

we need #nokings reports from the Dakotas, Carolinas, Virginias, Maryland, Baltimore, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Idaho, Louisiana, Mississippi, Kansas, Ohio, Alabama, Pennsylvania
no matter how big or small, let us know how the protests are going in the neoconfederate states.
Deep in Maga country, strong turnout. Good signage and very diverse crowd (for us). Hot out, but people looked happy to speak out.
Counter-protestors appeared to be five geriatric Proud Boys waving PB flags like they were advertising merch. Strange twin desire to swear at them and check if they needed help getting to a bench where they could rest.
Report of one counter-protestor being arrested.

Easily 1,000 people here in our little city. Great multigenerational turnout, all peaceful.

βUnspeakable. Just learned from Rep. Erin Koegel that Speaker Hortmanβs kids had to put down Melissaβs beloved dog, Gilbert β after Vance Boelter shot the dog while assassinating Melissa and Mark. The cruelty knows no bounds. My heart aches,β he wrote.

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 erzΓ€hlen, in einem Ernst, den ich bis dahin nicht von ihr kannte. Sie hat mir nicht alles erzΓ€hlt, aber schon in diesem ersten GesprΓ€ch fielen diese SΓ€tze: "Wir haben das irgendwann alle gewusst. Keiner kann erzΓ€hlen, 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.

Court Cantrell prefers not to
in reply to Court Cantrell prefers not to • • •I'll post pics later. Right now I need a warm shower. It started raining while we marched, and we stood in the rain for more than 2 hours.
It rained. They didn't leave.
It thundered. They didn't leave.
It lightninged. THEY DIDN'T LEAVE.
For what it's worth, for however long it lasts, I'm proud of you, #OklahomaCity. We showed up. And like true Oklahomans, we didn't let the weather stop us!
More later. β₯οΈπ
