Today in 1870, 155 years ago: in Mexico, Julián Escalante y Moreno leaves office as governor of the state of Sonora.
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.

This is not, as many would want to think, a "We all have a right to believe as we choose" discussion.
It's a discussion about who has the right to attack, denigrate, hurt, harm others and claim that God is behind these ugly actions.

Me: OK, let's not wear things that are easily identifiable.
Also me: Fuck, I look like a Fed.
I wish I had the skill to estimate crowd sizes, but there were a very good number of people there today.
Looking at the strip where we were on the map, if there was 1 person every 3 feet - there were easily 500 people there. That's pretty good, I'd say!
One thing I did not anticipate was how EMOTIONAL the whole thing would be for me.
It was a lot. A good "a lot" but damn, it was a lot.
I did witness some serious "old white guy" privilege when the cops came by.
We're all oozing away from them as they walked by to talk to the organizer, and as they were leaving, this guy goes, "Oh, officers, has something happened?"
And they just stopped and told him everything.
Me: 😳
I debated phone/no phone for yesterday and just decided to take it and leave it on.
Our rally was nearby and on sidewalks at a local shopping center that I frequent regularly.
Oh no, you've tracked me to somewhere I go all the time.
And overall, I did feel safer with my phone.
And I really, really hope that the organizers all over the country see the benefit of more, smaller rallies all over the place rather than just in city center type spots.
I suspect there were a lot of folks at my local rally that wouldn't have been able to go to DC or down to Manassas.
And tons of folks *saw* us, which wouldn't have happened if it was elsewhere.
Making these rallies accessible is so very important, and location is a huge part of that.

#NoKings movement reached ruby red Maryville, Missouri, today. A couple of hundred people were protesting peacefully in the 90-degree midday sunshine.
Well done, people. Even in the backward, republican strangle held counties, that still fly Confederate flags and shout 'Murica! I guess some are realizing that taking away Medicare, Medicaid, and social security benefits that were pre-paid for is a step too far for Jethro and Maggie to accept.
