Anti Trump protests have begun

This was my favorite sign of the day.

Truth be told, I’m pretty sure I saw more anti-ICE signs than “no kings” signs.

Haha, I spotted a few variations of this today. The most common were margaritas and horchada.

Protests work.. don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

The scary thing would be if they dwindle.. and the population starts accepting but if enough people show up..

What also works:

Strikes

Boycotts

But more than anything, voting their flunkies out of office.

I went to the No Kings protest in Atlanta today and I'd say about 10k people were there. It was peaceful with the only hint of conflict being the half dozen proud boys that marched through at some point.

I live in a somewhat conservative suburb around Houston. The No Kings protest here was threatened with violence by local conservatives. Strangely enough the protest was moved nearer to the local police station and the police were out in force. They stated they had a right to protest and no violence would be accepted from anyone.

From the pics I saw it seemed well attended and no reports of violence I’ve seen yet.

Apparently LAPD didn't get that memo.

They assaulted the peaceful demonstration in LA with rubber bullets and tear gas.

How long before there's a movement to defund them?

Defunding the police is so 2020.

Can't wait for the mid-terms to come rolling in. I'd like to see how Trump is going to use his federal goon squads, his pardoned Militsia Proud Boys, his pardoned cop beating insurrectionists, his techie Musk rats and those state level right wing lackeys of his to threaten, conspire, intimidate, slander, cheat and disinform their way to legislative victories. Hmmm...I suppose they're doing a lot of that right now.

I really do hope this bitter vile taste of authoritarianism that Trump is leaving in people's mouths will last 'til then and that it will overcome the anti-democratic unconstitutional anti-Law and Order war the Republicans are going to perpetrate to keep the House and Senate in Trump's back pocket.

Democrats need to keep Trump in check because absolutely no one else will. And seeing as if the courts are simply being ignored by Trump and his stooges in the Republican controlled legislature it makes things that much more imperative for the Democrats to take the House and Senate back.

Let the impeachments, censures and indictments of El Taco, his crooked corrupted Supremes, his asswipe goombah cabinet creeps and House Squeaker Mikey Mouse Johnson commence the very minute both branches of gov't get yanked back into the world of Constitutionality and Law and Order.
