Ages 18-40. The whole "young" thing is very misleading.

Maintain non-violence Saturday. May our protests be joyful. And if they start provoking, don't fight back. Just relocate before it gets bad, if you can. They WANT it to look like a riot. Frankly, I think they'll declare whatever they want whenever they want, but we don't need to help them. RECORD!

Protest sign, front and back.

Sign says Love America, Hate Nazis. There are blood drops dripping from the word Nazis. America is rainbow colors.

I am thrilled with the mainstream media about this! Finally!

'Without precedent': Virtually all news outlets reject restrictive Pentagon press policy

The policy would force news organizations to refrain from publishing material that is not approved by the military. Media lawyers say it is a clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

We need them to do more than not obey. We need them to protect us from those who do, and from the regime's secret police force, ICE.

IF the regime orders the military to initiate armed violence against peaceful protesters (nearly inevitable IMHO), THEN the military high command will not obey!

The American founders didn't expect Johnson or Trump but the Heritage Foundation has been preparing the far right for this for years. Meanwhile Democrats have had their collective head up their collective ass believing this could not never happen in our democracy.
