Best moment of the Clear Lake parade: Kim Reynolds was walking by and it was dead silence. 🦗 Crickets 🦗. So one of her hype people yelled happy 4th of July! and one elderly woman stood up and shouted NOT FOR WOMEN!

These fascists are out strutting in the streets and need to be confronted by the MAJORITY that does not agree with their power play. SHOUT THEM DOWN - DROWN THEM OUT - SHAME THEM into leaving mid-speech (not that anybody was listening anyway.......).
They do not deserve a single second of 'comfort' in public - not after what they've done to people and their private lives.

But be EVER-PRESENT and IN THEIR FACES.

NO JUSTICE? NO peace! An old protesters’ line. Still as good and as relevant today as it ever was through many yesteryears.

and we need MORE of them. It's time for the 'Network' movie scene:

“I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this any more!”

The time to be silent is past - we need to speak up to demand what we want our country to be - or we will not have the country that we want........
