I wondered if anyone would turn out because it's a holiday weekend. But I was wrong! It's also the 250th anniversary of Lexington-Concord, and that spirit will never die. Thank you, patriots:

250 years ago today America began its march toward independence at the Battles of Lexington and Concord. The battles marked “No Kings Day, Part I.” Today millions of Americans will take part in “No Kings Day, Part II.”

A nice crowd developing in Bloomington, IL for the No Kings event. Lots of positive interaction from folks driving by interspersed with a couple of magas flipping us off, but we just laughed and waved.

It’s a chilly day here in Chicago—but that hasn’t deterred hundreds of protesters from descending upon Daley Plaza to once again rally against the Trump Administration. Upload speeds are slow as usual, will post as able.

The theme of today’s action is “Joy in Resistance”—lots of families out, dancing, singing, laughter amongst the serious focus of the speeches and conversations overheard in the crowd.
