In Chicago where ICE has terrorized people for over a month, 250,00 people of all ages, races & beliefs rallied & marched through the “Hell hole” without a single arrest. We can be very proud of this.

They were voting. But, lots of ballots were tossed, Elon did something with electronic votes and votes weren't counted, then there's the gerrymandering, and voter suppression tactics employed by GOP run states. Harris won!

The red states removed lots of Democrats from the voter rolls. When they went to vote they had to fill out a provisional ballot and those ballots were never counted. The reds states people who manage the elections illegally manipulated the ballots. trump didn't win in 2024. He is a corrupt traitor to America. No one should doubt that he wouldn't go to any length to stay of of jail.

There is no way on Earth that Trump would stop cheating for that one election. He lives to cheat.

Can this information not be made more accessible? Why have we not criminalized the perpetrators of these crimes?

Susan, the reason nothing has been done about this is because Democrats don't want to be seen as just like Trump whining that there was fraud in the election. However, the reason Trump and his Klan went on their fraud rant was to be sure Democrats would not question Republican cheating and fraud. It is a well-used technique by people who want to distract others while they project on them what they themselves are actually doing or being. We should be smarter than the toddler pool, but Dems keep loudly reiterating that the election was fair when little to nothing was done this time to prove it as it was in 2020. I do believe the 2020 election in red states and 2022 election were the testing elections in red and swing states, some red states like Ohio and Texas, and some other states which gave Republicans control in the House and nearly in the Senate, losing seats of popular Senators and reps. Since Musk and Company were successful, they went full out in 2024, sneaky inserts of tech equipment on wires and surge protectors that would alter votes or claim that someone hadn't voted for president or whatever office was being frauded. I heard a statistician discuss this back in February along with a tech guy. I was disappointed that no one followed through on it. They also didn't follow through on the reported many ballots that were never counted. Republicans have proven that cheating is just one of their tools along with lying, AI creating deep fakes, and so much more. Why anyone would vote for a party that reveres cheating, lying, gaslighting, and disinformation as their primary practices is not paying attention or part of the cheat/fraud.

Deborah, I agree with you. I would not consider myself a "conspiracy theorist," and feel that there is plenty of evidence of the fraud committed. It would be great if some of the "swing states" were to order recounts from the point of the voting machines and compare that with the tally counts. I suspect it would be a proof of Republican insurrection. Which state will be the first? It won't be PA because we got frauded in a Republican Attorney General who would never permit it, and our Republican senate would not go along either because maybe some of their elections were frauded too.

Kalani, I doubt Musk will ever be held accountable because he now has access to nearly everything in our government and if he is crossed, he could do enormous damage to our grid, our Social Security system, the IRS, and anything else that comes to his drug-addled brain. He should never have been given permission to invade our government with is toddler computer geeks, but he has and also been given permission to develop a spy satalite system that could also do enormous damage. He needs to be in jail, away from any tech, but that will never happen either.

And his rocket program funded by our tax dollars is beholden to guess who? Pooptin! Who according to Lev, gave Mush his start by giving him access to the Russian space program. The Earth is surrounded by thousands of Mush’s low orbit satellites….He and Thiel already had surveillance on the USA and NATO and allies, now they have the details. Only a military coup could turn the tide but with all the purges going on, maybe that coup is gone. We are wide open for an attack on our country and Scump would let it happen. No doubt about it!

Absolutely agreed. The magnitude of No Kings really underscores how much of a bad job Trump is doing, and it really begs the question how this doofus managed to get elected in the first place. I wrote about it here:

And whom Musk's Starlink, Putin, et al, most probably influenced or actually changed the counts for.

Ruth Sheets's avatar

Many of those who participated in the rallies were the ones who voted for Harris and Walls. It's the folks sitting home on their couches who chose Trump. Then, there is the possible/probable digital fraud committed by Musk and the DOGErs transmitting algorithms in Trump's favor by Starlink." We saw a sign at our rally that seemed to be for a former Trumper, but mostly, it was people who didn't want Trump and still don't.

Yes. To everything you wrote. One of the things that sticks in my craw is when I see so many people on social media saying we get paid to protest. Why does that bug me so much? Usually I’m able to keep myself from fighting with strangers on the internet, but yesterday, when some troll wrote, “Who’s giving them the money for their signs and hats?” I answered, “The radical left boogeyman.”

Paid for marching? Movie extras get $100/day, so 7,000,000 x 100 equals $7,000,000,000. Were taxes withheld? FICA deducted? Expense accounts for frog costumes? Follow the money, LOL!

They've been making these claims so long that surely someone should have been able to sign up and get paid, right? So where's the evidence? Where are the ads promising 50 or 100 bucks to march for George Soros? Where are the pay stubs? Are we 1099 or W2? Where are the tax receipts? Where is the paper trail that results from paying MILLIONS of people to protest? Surely BY NOW someone could have produced something, ANYTHING to prove this, right?

But alas, no. Not a shred of evidence. Just a lot of hot air and noise.

Thank you for all of your efforts. Today I recall the words of President Grant at his first inauguration. "...all laws will be faithfully executed, whether they meet my approval or not.

I shall on all subjects have a policy to recommend, but none to enforce against the will of the people. Laws are to govern all alike--those opposed as well as those who favor them. I know no method to secure the repeal of bad or obnoxious laws so effective as their stringent execution."

General Grant was a Republican.

I agree Mary. Showing up is a must to show solidarity. I’m with you all in spirit from Canada 🇨🇦 That administration is more iron fisted and draconian than ever so showing up is now a matter of freedom taken back or lost. Every American choosing freedom must stand up and be counted. This is an insane administration you’re dealing with now and aren’t operating with humane principles which makes them all the more dangerous. I’m rooting for you Mary and all my American friends. You’re going to take your country back but you can’t let up on protesting every day and loudly though non violently. You will win.

I attended in Bakersfield, California, home of Kevin McCarthy, FORMER Speaker of the House. This is after the 30 minute parade around downtown Bakersfield and while, I’m sitting, collapsed, on my blanket with my service dog, Conri, and my teacup Chihuahua, Miss Itsy Bitsy. I had an asthma attack because Bakersfield has terrible air quality, unfortunately. We are working to flip it BLUE. Many Blessings

Alt National Parks Service – they call themselves “the official "Resistance" team of U.S. National Park Service’ -- is keeping a running count (it takes 5% of a country’s population to shift policy in its ruling “party” or “government” – I don’t usually put those in quotes, but …)

"It is my firm conviction that nothing enduring can be built upon violence. "

- Ghandi

Despite criticism that his nonviolent protests were cowardly, weak, and slow, Gandhi insisted that it was bold and eventually proved decisive.

Thank goodness MLK was a student of Gandhi and their teachings carried on yesterday in the signs and steps of 7 million Americans unified against the increasing power of a President donned King by the courts.

Thank you for the fantastic pictures, Mary! Keep up your slow and steady work for all of us!

In Canada, the No Kings protest on Oct 18th was also rebranded as No Tyrants, but its the same thing.

Partly because Canada is a member of the British Commonwealth, and therefore we technically do have a king, but we also practice our own sovereignty.

The other thing is Toronto and Vancouver are also the names of cities in the U.S, so the branding helps seperate what happened in Google searches.

The no kings protest was held in front of the US consulate in downtown Toronto Ontario, which is across from the courthouse at 361 university avenue. University Avenue is Toronto's district for government buildings. (Bay and King are the financial centers, Yonge, Queen, Bloor, Danforth are social life)

There was also a No Kings Protest in Montreal, Quebec - organized by The Quebec chapter of Democrats Abroad downtown at Place du Canada, which is kind of like Dundas Square in Toronto but includes a park bordered by René Lévesque Boulevard to the North, Peel to the East, De la Cathédrale to the West and De la Gauchetière Street to the South.
