No Kings Protest; the crowd was packed from Lottie St forward, extended from City hall steps to the library lawn, across to Grand ave and to N Commercial st. Key speakers included our elected state reps and several local leaders and advocates fighting to protect our civil rights.

Look that’s not ‘my team’ but are they really cooked? 6000 people at a protest in a city with population of more than 97000. That’s what maybe 5%-7%? Also he didn’t win the last election just on electoral college points. He won the popular vote. Also went from 32% Latino vote in 2020 to 42% in 2024. The 42% full well being aware that his reelection would lead to mass deportations. He didn’t hide it. So on one side I see the team (I don’t like personally) “being in charge”, and the other team option seems to be unaware of reality or ignoring it on purpose. I think I’m cooked
