I'm going to do some meme spreading. The Right has co-opted many cherished symbols of freedom. I've gone hunting around the web looking for replacements. The first I present to you is NO KINGS BUT US. This is an anti-authoritarian slogan and if it hits home with you, please spread them around.

If you've never watched "Creature Commandos," then you missed out on the delight that is G.I. Robot, built during WWII w/the sole mission of killing Nazis & who takes inordinate delight in landscapes strewn with dead Nazis. G.I. Robot is the catharsis we all need.

Second "No Kings Day" protests the largest single-day political protest ever*, with 5.2-8.2 million participants

Here are the initial results from our crowdsourced crowd-counting estimates

The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III and Britain.

Donald Trump and his regime have committed at least 20 of those same offenses highlighted in yellow.
#NoKings

An image of a list of the 27 grievances against King George III in the Declaration of Independence. Donald Trump's regime has committed at least 20 of them in whole or in part, condensed into the list below:
1. He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
2. He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation …
3. He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing … his invasions on the rights of the people.
4. He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; … obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners …
5. He has obstructed the Administration of Justice …
6. He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices …
7. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
8. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
9. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
10. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution … giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
11. For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
12. For protecting them … from punishment for any Murders which they should commit …
13. For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
14. For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
15. For depriving us … of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
16. For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
17. For … abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
18. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
19. He has … destroyed the lives of our people.
20. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us …

They came for the amphibian and we made him a war hero.

Clearly an indicator of societal breakdown due to a war ravaged populace. Send in a SEAL team to rid PDX of dragons and unicorns.

Trump seems to back off Portland military plan: 'Am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening?'

President Trump had said he will send troops to Portland to protect U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities, which he said were "under attack."

I had an excellent meal in Sellwood yesterday. Not a war in sight but I did ravage my cheesesteak - without any assistance from the National Guard.

My wife works in the city. We go there all the time. Calling the place a war zone is ridiculous. The city has problems - especially with homeless camping - but that’s common in many cities. These are provocations and unfortunately they may work to cause larger disturbances.
