Activism

"With every protest, flag waving on street corners, voter registration drive and postcard party, organizers say they are inching toward a special number of civically active Americans.

When 3.5% of the population of a country is actively involved in peacefully protesting a government, that government is likely to fall from power, according to one theory of nonviolent civil resistance." -- USA Today

Seniors

I've been amused by Republicans (many of whom are themselves--let's just say--of advanced age) characterizing the No Kings protest as being just a bunch of seniors having fun. Well, I gotta tell you, those so-called fun loving seniors have a whale of a lot of experience dealing with rogue presidents. Anyone here old enough to remember the late 60s and early 70s? Ooh-wee! Now, those were heady days. So  you might just want to be a wee cautious about whose grandparents you piss off.

Bubbles

"Republicans have spent many days trying to marginalize the massive anti-Trump 'No Kings' rallies held across the country over the weekend.

They’ve argued the people involved were extremists and even predicted they would be violent (which turned out not to be true). They’ve claimed the protesters hate America." -- CNN

Tyranny

"The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world." -- The Declaration of Independence
