Sunday Stuff (updates)
What follows is a PBS report on yesterday’s “No Kings” protests, including Taco-A-Lago (heh), Atlanta, Boston, Philly...John Yang interviews Lisa Gilbert, co-president of the group Public Citizen (more here)...
...here is the protest from Chicago...
...and also from Michigan (including Detroit and Ann Arbor)...and Bill Huizenga really is that big of an a-hole...
...and downtown Orlando in the "sunshine state" (Tampa Bay also - "I draw the line at crazy" too)...
...Houston, TX (including a brief interview with Dem U.S. House Rep Al Green)...
...Dallas (Dallas, people)...
...Arizona...
...Northern Virginia...
...Maryland (with Dem U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen - if any Dem politician didn't show up for these protests, they should have a damn good excuse)...
...Idaho...
...Oregon and Washington (and no, I don’t trust one word coming out of the mouth of spokes-liar Karoline Leavitt)...
...Hawaii...
...heading back to the mainland, here are the protests in Rhode Island and Massachusetts (and of course this Joe Powers guy chooses not to address the issues the protestors are marching about; if he were to do that, I’m sure he would be sent back to “the factory” and taught to obey Dear Leader extra hard next time)...
...and we can't forget NYC, can we?...
...or Philly of course (NJ also in the rain)...
...crossing the country again, this is what took place in northern California
...and 60K in San Diego? Outstanding!...
...San Francisco also...
...and finally, to Los Angeles...
...where Brian Tyler Cohen killed it with this speech...
...and by the way, to effect political change (or try to, anyway), click here to make sure you’re registered to vote (and yes, I know the Democrats, as a party, have issues, but they’re the best shot we have).
And I agree with about 97 percent or so of this great tune from "Little Steven."
Update 1: Not surprised, fortunately, but still great news (here).
Update 2: And here comes a truly ridiculous overreaction from an idiot Repug governor, this one in Missouri (here).
Update 3: Offered without further comment...
Update 1 6/16/25: Once more, I don't see violence from our side, but as far as the wingnuts are concerned, I give you this.
Update 2 6/16/25: And Heaven forbid that we do anything to interfere with the Men’s College World Series, amirite? (here)
Update 6/17/25: If you're on Bluesky, I would ask that you check this out.
Update 6/18/25: Here is another potentially murderous whack job who, thank God, was thwarted, and from this locality also (here).
