SAN ANGELO, TX — A volunteer-organized protest is scheduled to take place at Civic League Park in San Angelo on Saturday, June 14, as part of a nationwide day of action called “NO KINGS,” aimed at opposing what organizers describe as authoritarianism and political corruption.
The local event will run from noon to 2 p.m. and is one of numerous protests being held across the country. According to organizers, the demonstration is a response to policies and actions by President Donald Trump and his allies, which they allege have undermined democratic norms and civil liberties.
The campaign’s messaging emphasizes opposition to what it characterizes as the consolidation of power, stating, “In America, we don’t put up with would-be kings.” Event literature criticizes Trump for actions they claim include suppressing free speech, targeting political opponents, and disregarding judicial authority.
Protesters plan to gather “everywhere he isn’t,” according to the national call to action, under the slogan “No thrones, no crowns, no kings.”
Organizers stress that the protest is intended to be nonviolent. A statement on the event page says, “A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.”
More information about the protest can be found at nokings.org.

Sounds gay, but that's to be expected from that side of the political field.

Democrats suddenly oppose alleged authoritarian overreach and perceived corruption when it's supposedly Trump doing it. If Trump held a national drag show, team Blue would organize behind "TERFs Against Tyranny."
Additionally, the fact that there is undoubtedly foreign interference involved in these kinds of protests will fly over the heads of average citizens and under the radar of strategically placed authorities. As per usual, we are all, always and ultimately, responsible for our own safety...

Well I'm sure my old high school Government teacher will be there beating his Donkey Drum.
With the world actually ripping apart before our eyes, what we are really witnessing is the Democrats last Stand and it really doesn't matter.

Has there ever been a protest by the left that has been non-violent? I can't think of any.

Maybe you didn't know this, but the internet can also give you some really accurate information if you just ask the right question and learn how to discern the bullshit, hype, clickbait, misinformation, fake news, and psi-op propaganda from enemy states. Facebook and FoxNews are extremely limited world views for the absolute shitshow and complicated economic issues that are occurring on a global scale, and if you aren't willing or don't have the time or bandwidth to expand your reach of information, or if your patience is limited by just what's happening to YOU, maybe just shut the fuck up.

Folks, let's put our differences aside for a moment. Thanks to the dupes at this astro-turfed event, San Angelo is currently in the process of having its first period and simultaneous period party.
San Angelo is a woman now. Let's enjoy this moment together...

I'm pretty sure all the organizers of the useful idiots were there because they were getting paid big, fat dollarinos of American dinero that may or may not have been tightly compressed into a phallic form and carried within the bodily cavities of said organizers.
