Best demonstration. Today Highway overpass I70 going west from Denver. At Gennessee mountain exit. 200+ working both sides of the bridge. Will post pix. Felt good to be with so many like minded folks. Many first timers.

Best no kings demonstration today, on the bridge over interstate 70, at Gennessee overpass. Maybe 200 flag waving, sign carrying demonstrators of all ages. Perfect weather. A few disgruntled people p e, but most honked and waved. Happy to see our signs and flags. Where were you protesting???

hope you find a demonstration with all your neighbors today!

More Democrats are getting it. It’s also a great time to remind Republicans that we live in a Republic and that the States have their own powers. The federal government only has those powers assigned to it in the Constitution.
