  A Big Beautiful Crowd - Houston No Kings Day All photos: John Barrett  This is my recap: what a wonderful day! I was a little late arriving and couldn’t believe what I saw: the crowd was spilling over to Tranquility Park and it was all I could do to get closer to City Hall. Once I did, I was blown away! Such a great turnout. Official count: 26,000. This is as many people as protested the. Iraq War in 2002 in Boston (right after it launched and before W. declared “Mission. Accomplished!” Who knew the Occupier would make Bush look downright anodyne?) There were quite a few highlights but for me, the best was Texas 9th District Congressional Rep Al Green!!! He’s on fire and ready to keep hammering away at the Occupier and the Regime.  We also had a moment of silence for Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark who were murdered today in a targeted shooting by a shooter who may be impersonating law enforcement. Also injured are Minnesota State Sen...

I know many of us are stoked to show up, raise our voices, and fight the good fight against authoritarianism and this tin-pot wannabe dictator and his clown car cabal. However, with additional issues in some states (like this one), there may be increased military presence, more law enforcement on the ground (uniformed and plain clothed) and perhaps, individuals and groups who might try to disrupt peaceful assemblies. There is a wealth of resources online. Here are links to three that I’ve found incredibly comprehensive and a link to a webinar from Women’s March tomorrow that I recommend dialing into. This Linktree is jam-packed with detail. By all means, avail yourself of all the resources on it. https://linktr.ee/protestsafetyprep?akid=22632.4062036.xGxX84&rd=1&t=2 This should take you to the ACLU People Power webinar from Tuesday, June 10. It was hugely informative and will take you less than an hour. That said, save this link and share it accordingly. https://drive.google.co...
