This was my third No Kings Protest in Kingwood, Texas. There was great attendance, peaceful and fun and a beautiful day. Lots of creative signs. Mine was, “Silence=Complicity=Loss of Freedom.” Keep up the fight Simon!

Feeling and seeing the energy of so many people, different ages, different colors, all different signs was very refreshing and inspiring.

I just find it so encouraging that we’ve been able to do this three times, get bigger every time, have no major incidents, even with all of the Maga agitators out there… Even with ice and all of the chucklefucks… i’m really really proud of the pro-democracy movement

You can email photos to community@hopiumchronicles.com or post them online in a way that all can view and provide a link in the chat. You can upload pics to your own Substack profile. (click on profile picture, home, profile, what's on your mind, choose photo)

It was a great day for our democracy. I was at the Columbia SC rally, and it was super!

I have friends in Greenville. They said that rally had a lot more people than the last one they attended.

CBS News is reporting today's No Kings estimate of at least 8 million participants in more than 3,300 events worldwide. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/no-kings-rallies-protest-trump-millions/

Hartford CT Was terrific! 30* so unseasonably cold, but still 5500 brave patriots turned out and another 1500 live streamed. And then! Seems almost every small town in CT had a rally going on! So great!

Love Bruce, Simon

My wife and I were in Studio City @ the Corner of Laurel Canyon and Ventura Blvds. Couldn't see how many were there but I'd estimate around 5000-6000. Didn't take photos, since I was in a boot from a torn tendon, but still shouted, walked and blew whistles...It was raucous

Moving forward to the elections..:)

I went up the road a ways to Bay City, MI (Madonna’s hometown)

Rally leaders opened the gathering by paying homage to Native American tribes that settled and occupied the mid-Michigan area …. Until undocumented immigrants arrived

My sign message:

Don’t Hate Trump

Hate Evil

Trump is Evil

Deborah Potter posted a link a few people above you.

Fran Korten's avatar

Thanks. I used that link.

MrsCQ's avatar

You're welcome and thanks to Deborah Potter again. I used the link as well. Hard to choose from so many pictures. I only sent a few.

Fran Korten's avatar

yes, I only sent 4.

MrsCQ's avatar

I went back and sent more. 🤭 Total of Eight! But considering I went to two rallies and took 54 pictures, it's not too much, right? 😬 😂 😬

Thank you for "The Boss" Simon. It was a beautiful day all around.

I haven't smiled his much since Rump was elected! If going to a rally is social therapy I want more!!

I cried today; more than once. Today was different than the tears this past winter. Still tears of grief but also of hope, courage, and conviction.

I was at the No Dictators

Protest here in Kamuela, Hawaii. This was the icing on top of a fabulous day. Thank you, Minnesota ❤️❤️❤️☮️
