We got an early start to avoid the heat and ended up at our usual protest spot on 22nd St at Ried Park. There were already a lot of people for what ended up being an all-day thing. We managed to make it to 10am. It was already 95. I got a lot of thumbs-up, honks, and kudos for my sign that said...

MAKE
AMERICA
AMERICA
AGAIN


It looks like nationwide, the protests were a big success. I'm finding reports of between 5 and 6 million people having participated nationwide. And all totally peaceful.

Except for the chaos caused by, of course, a few deranged MAGA Hats driving into crowds or shooting people.

The thing is, this isn't going to stop. These things are going to keep happening more and more as Trump fails more and more.


I just did a Google image search of "no kings protest tucson" and a picture of me and my sign was the second one on the screen! The Arizona Daily Star used it in the article they posted about the protest. I had a feeling that sign would resonate!

I MADE THE NEWS!!!

    You're a star, po.

    It stuns me how many of my Facebook friends my age and older... many of whom are "evangelical," ... sympathize with the protests, but it's still moderate and independent common sense voters who are going to determine the political future. As far as I can tell, you ain't reaching them.


  2. by Curt_Anderson on June 15, 2025 2:55 pm
    Is that you with the Make America America Again sign?

    My wife and I participated in our local No Kings protest. Medford police estimated the crowd to be at least 4,000 with no reported arrests and just a handful of traffic issues.

    One of my favorite signs I saw there was this MAGA variation: Morons Are Governing America.

    Yeah that's me, Curt. I remember the guy who took that picture. Really nice camera setup. He was standing on the center divider a ways down the street from me. I could tell the camera was pointed right at me, so I made sure that the sign was at a good angle for him.


  4. by Curt_Anderson on June 15, 2025 3:12 pm
    It's a good photo, but you look younger than when we met ten or 15 years ago. Certainly not any older.

    "One of my favorite signs I saw there was this MAGA variation: Morons Are Governing America."

    You and you wokesters. All of us who ain't woke go to sleep every night crying ourselves asleep wishing we were just smart enuff to even a little woke. Even just as smart as "that feckless dementia-ridden piece of crap," Asufutimaehaehfutbw!, or the Day Drinker. But, alas...

    HtS,
    About your pillow crying: I hope you find the serenity to accept the things you cannot change.


  7. by Ponderer on June 15, 2025 3:29 pm

    ...And to not change the things you can't.

    One of our favorite signs said


    MAKE
    DONALD DUCK
    AGAIN!

    Ponderer,

    Many years ago, you (or Donna?) posted a pic of yourself at a protest or rally of some sort. I remember I had an idle thought ... "I'll probably do that someday. Heck, I'll probably NEED to do that someday."

    Well, Saturday was that day. No Kings in Sarasota, Florida. I don't know how many people were there, but there have been several other demonstrations on that exact same spot (I know, because it's on my way to work) and this blew it away.

    My favorite sign was: "All of my outrage can't fit on this sign."

    There was a car that drove by — the husband was driving and a little old lady was holding a sign out the window. She looked like she was about 90. She was so tiny, her eyes were just barely peeking up above the sign. It just said, "Silence is consent." I thought, "You. Are. A badass."

    Anyway, if you felt your ears tingle on Saturday, it's cause I was thinking of you two as I drove out there.

    "BREAKING UPDATE: Rep Julie von Haefen breaks her silence— issues statement after sharing a photo calling for the beheading of President Trump.

    Not buying any of this. She knew exactly what she was doing. She’s just sorry she got caught.

    Julie needs to face accountability and consequences. Leftist political violence is at all-time highs. They have been getting away with it for far too long."


    And, this is exactly why the Dems are in trouble. They're the Nazi Party of the 21st century.

    "DON'T BE STOOPID, BE A SMARTIE, COME AND JOIN THE NAZI PARTY," eh, po!!!!?

    Clearly, No Kings was a love-fest. And, po was proud of that lame MAAA poster.

    You Republicans are such sensitive snowflakes! She posted a video of a No Kings protest and ONE sign in the entire crowd of sign wavers has you guys upset. Plus "some cuts may be necessary" is funny. No sense of humor in MAGAville.

    I see you near that corner. Nice! You look reasonably fit and trim.

    Lol @ MAGA talking about consequences for bad behavior.


  14. by Navy2711 on June 15, 2025 4:31 pm

    Thanks, Curt! Being naturally slim doesn't help much when you're a young man trying to score dates ... but it's paying off in my old age.


  15. by Navy2711 on June 15, 2025 4:38 pm
    Incidentally, I looked for articles about violence that had occurred at No Kings, and found this interesting by-line:

    "Police chief says the victim was not shot by the suspect, who is in jail."
    sltrib.com


  16. by Curt_Anderson on June 15, 2025 4:44 pm
    Navy,
    That's in part because you outlived your fat rivals. I am still slim: 5' 10", 165 pounds. I was 5'11" before I crushed my fourth lumbar vertebra falling off a ladder a few years ago.


  17. by Donna on June 15, 2025 4:49 pm

    Navy, is the person standing to your left holding a sign that reads "Make America Think Again"?

    I've always carried a sign to protests, but yesterday I decided to leave my sign home and just talk to others and enjoy the day.



  18. by Curt_Anderson on June 15, 2025 4:54 pm
    [Police Chief] Redd said the victim, later identified as 39-year-old Clearfield resident Arthur Folasa Ah Loo, apparently was shot by one of two individuals in neon vests who had been part of the event’s “peacekeeping team.”

    The Salt Lake Tribune appropriately placed quote marks around "peacekeeping team." It's not clear if the peacekeeping team is the same as regular sworn police officers. It certainly seems to be a major screwup.


  19. by Indy! on June 15, 2025 6:24 pm

    Nice sign, Pondy - well done. 👍

    I also like the multi-colored sign in Navy's feature film that plays on the Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious song from Mary poppins. Very clever - glad the camera people stopped and gave the viewer time to read it.


  20. by Navy2711 on June 15, 2025 8:30 pm

    Donna,

    "Navy, is the person standing to your left holding a sign that reads "Make America Think Again"?"

    There is a sign that says that, about three signs to my right.

    I don't know what the sign held by the lady to my left says, but she was super feisty and funny. She cracked me up the whole time.

    The lady immediately to my right grew up about a half hour from my hometown. Small world.


  21. by HatetheSwamp on June 16, 2025 3:45 am

    "Make America Think Again." Bahaha ha.

    You in the Woke Swampcult just can't not be sanctimonious and offensive, can you? It's never about what you love and are for. It's ALWAYS about demeaning and hating those whom you oppose. Go for it,... (like you have to be encouraged.)

    You wanna know why nearly ever moderate and independent common sense voter voted for the weakest candidate ever to be elected President,... now twice... in 024? A big part of the reason is progressive Swampcultists and their self-righteous loathing of anyone different than they.

    Right. Everyone who thinks agrees with you. Bahahahahahahahahahaha haha ha, ahhh.


  22. by Ponderer on June 16, 2025 7:16 am

    Way to go, Navy! Lookin' good!

    Didn't you just love the feeling being in that crowd? It just reinvigorates me every time I attend one of these things.

    The winner of the funniest sign at our event was


    Pete Hegseth was
    a DUI hire


  23. by Ponderer on June 16, 2025 7:20 am

    Yeah. Where do we liberals get off being so violent and offensive at their protests?


  24. by Ponderer on June 16, 2025 7:20 am
    .......


  25. by Ponderer on June 16, 2025 7:25 am

    You know, MAGA Hat Hate has really made me reexamine my side's protest tactics. We really ought to take a page or two from the MAGA Hat side for pointers on how not to be violent and offensive at a demonstration.


  26. by Ponderer on June 16, 2025 7:27 am

    Yeah, MAGA Hat Hate's side really knows how to go Full-Gandhi, I tell ya wut.

    Up for debate. What's not up for debate is you and the Cop Killer CHEERED when your master let all the murderers and criminals free after they had been found guilty in an American court of law.


  31. by HatetheSwamp on June 16, 2025 12:44 pm

    No. Ole didn't. He condemned the pardons of the Oath Keepers, especially...

    ... but he did note that Trump campaigned on granting those pardons...

    ... and that "that feckless dementia-ridden piece of crap" promised that he would not pardon members of his family.


  32. by Ponderer on June 17, 2025 10:15 am

    Well it appears now that this very well could have been the largest single day protest in American history. It's at least second to the 1970 Earth Day protests nationwide.

    And it didn't take the organizers a lot to spark it off. Word of mouth and news coverage of it got hordes of people to look up online where they could participate. Protests sprung up in little hamlets and villages all over without anyone having to be told to do it.

    What a glorious presentation of what a free people look like. While we still are free anyways.

    People really hate Trump and what he's doing to this country. There's just no diminishing this fact.


  33. by HatetheSwamp on June 17, 2025 10:33 am

    Just a large pile of processed food.

    po,

    I wish you could have experienced the power of those raw 60s race and war protests. Then you'd know that this ain't that.

    Again, what are these "protests" for?


  34. by meagain on June 17, 2025 1:24 pm
    I think these protests are ther first sign of hope I have seen for America for a long time. Actually, since Trump 1's inauguration.

    It could mean a revitalising of the AQmerican spirit to levels that predate Clinton even.
