Great turnout, great event in Kansas City, MO!

Couldn't see it all very well, but looked to be 3,000 or perhaps 4,000. Lots of great messages on signs, good friendly people who showed respect and care for their neighbors. Totally peaceful--made our kkknuckle-dragging gov. Kehoe look like a friggin' idiot for thinking there was a "state of emergency" and possibility of violence. It was really great to be out with so many people who share feelings I do about this criminal regime.

Spent much time on the Plaza. Still visit.

What a fantastic setting for a No Kings rally!

I've been going to protests at the same location for 20+ years, since the run-up to Chimpy's Excellent Desert Adventure, and it was 2X the size of any other event I've seen there in person.

1 Trumper - 1 - who drove by in his big-ass truck with his big-ass flag. A few fuck-yous, but mostly people laughing at him.

Wish I had known you were there!
