Fascist intimidation has motivated me! I'M GOING to this Sat. No Kings protest, 10/18/25 [View all]

I'm 70 plus, and was going to sit this one out. I'm going to figure out transportation/parking, bring healthy snacks & water - and all the extra planning I'll need. I've got my current flu and covid shots. I'll bring a cane just in case I need mobility support or to fight off a fascist. I'll make a great portable sign that I'll put in my bag of necessities. My electronics will be charged and my family will know where I am and to stay in touch with me. I'M GOING to the NO KINGS PROTEST - Saturday 10/18/25.
