Speakers rallied against Trump, ICE and fascism.

Speakers promoted uniting together to stop ICE and to change the constitution with additional provisions for undocumented immigrants.

There was music and dancing leading one to say it seemed more like a block party than a protest.

Dozens wore costumes of the grim reaper, dolphins, frogs, eagles, bunnies and more.

Looks like a good gathering, which should be ALL Americans to demonstrate that Americans are disgusted by this corrupt administration and federal governmental leaders who don’t give a damned about our country. We are on the verge of World War III because of this incompetent and selfish President and his blind followers who won’t see the BIG PICTURE surrounding them, directly and intentionally placing our children and future American children in harms way, which would have been avoided if this clown had not bee elected.


Looks like a normal bunch of people. LOL


It’s interesting to witness Marxism repeating itself all over again.


And I thought “No Kings” meant no to Governor Newsom’s attempt to ignore California’s constitution and take away the people’s right to have district maps drawn by an independent group instead of people chosen by King Newsom.


If that happens it will be the California electorate, not the Governor making that change. The law is written as a temporary measure returning the mapping to an independent body after the next census.


And taxes with sunset clauses are never renewed…..
