I've been on two cross-country marches for two existential crises: The Great Peace March (1986) The March for Climate Action (2014) @ L.A. to Wash. D.C., 3,000+ miles, 8 months. I've never been so scared for humanity & planet as I am now

The @barackobama.bsky.social Presidential Library has a display commemorating the Great Peace March for Global Nuclear Disarmament of 1986! And, it was more like 5,000 started out and the numbers would swell or shrink depending on what marching mode* we were in.

My friend George will be at the No Kings III in Victorville, CA! I'm planning to make and meet many new friends there. Location: Alamagordo & Bear Valley Rd., and the I-15 Freeway overpass. 11am to 2pm
Two friends as a No Kings rally. One man wearing a tee shirt with world leaders, such as Putin holding a baby Trump.

I couldn't post this on the Word Press site so here it is: The Trump Trolley Trundle Bus! It runs on Klean Koch Koal, hot air of politicians, and the fetid expectations of billionaires. Guaranteed to set us back to 400+ppm Pliocene. Talk about "Great Again!"

Greetings! This sign was inspired by another sign; the one where, "Every disaster movie starts with a government ignoring a scientist!" Now, it's ALL the scientists, right? Thank you for the pro-science songs!! Keep 'em coming

I made this sign for yesterday's protest (Victorville, CA) but the high desert winds over the freeway were too much. I'm going to brace it up for the next one. #WorkersNotBillionaires #climate #environment #antiscience

Just a reminder that YouTube is not far behind Zuckerberg or Musk in betraying humanity for another buck. Try blocking the PragerU ads for instance... It's like asking a sea-lion (narcissist) to leave you alone!

Stay hydrated and safe. Be with friends, don't go off on your own, esp if there are counter protestors. Keep moving and away from the curb (unless it's a huge crowd and you've got the street). Above all, make new friends, make noise, drumming, chants, and dance a bit. Have fun!

Indeed. I'm thinking of calling it the, "Battle of Memes", much like the empty sloganeering of bumper stickers and tee-shirts. Propaganda has its place but, it can't be the only thing. Except, graffiti! Graffiti is awesome.
