The last protest before Oct. 18 #nokings.
Today I talked to other concerned, informed, peaceful, tax-paying citizens. I've been protesting every weekend for a month and a half. Still haven't met a terrorist.

Some signs from today's non-terrorist protest. 50-75 people showed up every weekend in September in my small coastal Massachusetts town. I plan to be out for Oct. 18 as well. #resist #dumptrump #nokings #impeach #eightysixfortyseven #nooligarchs #abolishICE

A sign reading: Release the files not the 'philes with a picture of Trump's name in a folder labeled "Epstein" and a photo of Ghislane Maxwell next to the abbreviated word pedophile

A blue sign reading: No one is above the law. Justice is liberty.

A sign reading: Make Orwell fiction again
