This is where I scream into the void. Urbanization, bicyclist, environmentalist. Fighting liberal. Everyone deserves to exist without oppression or the denial of their humanity. The US Supreme Court is corrupt. Trump is a traitor. He/Him.

Dutch Dutch Dutch Dutch Dutch Dutch...

Map of West Michigan displaying the prominent Dutch ancestry. Zoom in deeper and there are Irish, Germans, Polish, African American, Mexican and many other heritages represented. And that's what makes America great.

60 million taxpayer dollars wasted for Trump's play mat. The man is a cancer on America.

Baby play mat that resembles the UFC cage thing on the White House lawn.

If I was king of town, I'd take these out in an instant.

Grand Rapids, Michigan - ridiculously chopped into quarters by two freeways.

Gives big Nazi energy. I'm sure it's just coincidence.

The painting portrays Hitler sitting on a black horse, wearing armor in the manner of a 15th-century knight and carrying a Nazi flag that billows behind him.

Trump and the Republicans are trying to find reasons to ignore/overturn elections that they don't like.

Trump is eager to get his hands on any participation trophy, even if he has to award it to himself. If he gives himself the Medal of Honor, not only will he be even more of a clown, but everyone will rate that particular Medal of Honor as the equivalent of the FIFA Peace Prize: no honor at all.

Leonid Brehznev, looking ridiculous with about a square foot of medals and awards on his chest.

Trump's signature with dots in the spikes makes it look like a gathering of the Ku Klux Klan - men in white pointed hoods.

Trump is taking this test because those around him see his obvious mental decline. It's not just something they do for fun. And it's not an IQ test; they're looking to see if the brain is slipping.

Trump wants to award himself participation medals.

I love that old electronics were beautiful.

It reminds me of the book Destiny by Otto Nückel.

A stark woodcut of a woman and her child in a dark alley with a bright light at the end.

"The new ballroom will be significantly larger than the main White House building, which comprises about 55,000 square feet over the ground floor, state floor and residence. That does not include the East and West Wings."

A rendering of Trump's stupid vanity ballroom dwarfing the White House. It looks like the White House is attached to the ballroom, rather than vice versa.

Everyone at the No Kings protest loves America and believes in a better America (especially compared to the shitty version the Republicans are creating).

A person in a minion (from Despicable Me) costume is holding a saying "We are not minions to fascism. No Kings."

Scenes from No Kings in Grand Rapids, Michigan! Great turn out! #NoKings #NoKingsDay

Smokey the Bear sign saying "Only You Can Prevent Fascist Liars"

Signs with Trump reading "Sometimes you gotta Flush Twice" and "What a faux-king joke."

A hand drawn sign of Trump reading "No Kings No Fascists"

I have a wrench that my grandfather engraved his name on. It makes me happy everytime I use it.

Crescent wrench with a signature engraved on it.

"He serves his party best, who serves his country best." - President Rutherford B. Hayes Back when Republicans were the liberals and weren't fascists.

Grand Rapids, Michigan - 131 and 196 cut the downtown into quadrants.

It's nice when people come to the beach at your resort and put up flags indicating that they're fascists.

Beach chairs and umbrellas with a "thin blue line" American flag and a Gadsden (Don't Tread On Me) flag, both symbols co-opted by the American fascist right, looming over them.

Solzhenitsyn in The Gulag Archipelago on resisting unjust arrests: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?

5. And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if
every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say
good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the down-
stairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? After all, you knew ahead of time that those bluecaps were out at night for
no good purpose. And you could be sure ahead of time that you'd be cracking the skull of cutthroat. Or what about the Black Maria sitting out there on the street with one lonely chauffeur--what if it had been driven off or its tires spiked? The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage officers and transport, and notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!

I was at the one in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Probably 5000 people. Maybe more. It had multiple events and went on most of the day. NYT left it out.

Grand Rapids, Michigan, turned out for No Kings Day. This was only one of two planned protests, and there are many more people off to the left or on the trees. #nokings

On a sunny clear day, Ah Nab Awen Park, a river bank park, is crowded with people. People carry signs saying TACO, and Save Democracy.

Perfect.
