October 18th - No Kings!
Hope there's a huge turnout this weekend. This old Yippie wishes I could be there but health concerns are putting the kibosh on that.

J. Michael Luttig testifies before January 6 committee

Retired Judge J. Michael Luttig has claimed President Donald Trump’s latest actions mirror the 27 grievances colonists cited against King George III. He urged Americans to consider the parallels alongside Trump’s rhetoric. Luttig noted the importance of reflecting on historical lessons when evaluating current political conduct.

Both of us are DAR & SAR eligible. If you see some old fart in SoCal with a Bennington flag on a scooter getting roughed up by ice? Send money, guns and lawyers! The shit has hit the fan.

The one I made it to in DC earlier this year had a turnout of 120K plus. Thet wa before tariffs started, ICE goons started escalation tactics and troops on the streets of U.S. cities. Of course the MSM will act like nothing out of the ordinary is going on. A fellow protester turned me on to Reuters which had extensive coverage.
Got me a nice flag to carry.

What the Portlandia protesters are getting right. Make these stormtroopers look ridiculous. Maybe some obese Star Wars Imperial troopers?

Just yesterday when doing some water therapy when the instructor mentioned her husband was in Portland on business.

Went out driving around to get pictures of the unrest..

Driving around and around all over town. They were both surprised she said that he could not find anything to see.

Kinda got a quick impression to which of the "news coverages" she watches.

What are you considering MSM, Rickey? I see lots of protest coverage on CNN and particularly MSNBC.

My wife and I were out there in June, and we'll be back again tomorrow with fresh signs.
