Don’t let people tell you people in Red states don’t care. Mo turned up on a weekday and worked for change at the statehouse. Rally followed by meetings.

The purpose 1) showing we are not alone & signal others will act 2) to create connections th assist community mutual aid 3) remind us that we the people matter have to do this - no one is coming to save us. If it leads to more action by even most who came….that will be powerful. 3/3

Assanta quote - “It is our duty to fight for our freedom
It is our duty to win
We must love and support one another
We have nothing to lose but our chains” which local alderwoman led group in chanting at no kings.

A neighbor planned a small neighborhood thing for those who could not make it to the larger STL event. I had a long week. I was tired. It was storming. As I got near the event I began to tear up. Not my first protest. But the number of people engaged amazed me. 2/3h

Two protest signs. One reads Hate will not make us great. The other reads Mr. Speaker do you think that racism, xenophobia, homophobia, transphobia, misogyny, concentration camps, lawlessness, fraud, and police brutality are so American that when I protest that I am at a hate America rally?

People at no kings in the rain with signs reading: hate will not make us great, no more kings, and 12 years in Catholic school and you expect me to not love my neighbor?

I’ve seen some saying that the No kings protests were worthless. I want to share some thoughts (and pics) from my small neighborhood event. 1/3

Car break-ins happen in cities. We live in a very queer part of our city. Today we awoke to find a brick had been thrown through our back window with no attempt to get into the car. I wonder why our car was targeted… I just don’t understand people.

I am going to scream this again - what we are Not. Going. To. Do. is throw marginalized communities, including trans communities, under the bus. Not only is it wrong, it is not a winning strategy.

This is the face of the boy who managed to shut both his brothers in the same crate while we were out of the house. Came prancing to the door so proud when we got home. Wish I had a video of that. You do you Ted.

Dog day three - our spunky baby, Oscar. He has more energy in his little 7lb body than my spouse and I have combined. And he is the best stress relief ever. How can you say no to those eyes?

New platform new habits. More dog pics. Teddy is an old rescue from a hoarding situation that came with a warning that he kills wildlife “including turtles” 😳. He has lost nearly all his teeth. I believe he will outlive me out of pure spite. And he is also the sweetest thing ever.
