The crowd at today's #NoKings protest in Arlington, TX, was larger than it was last June. Here's what it looked like after about an hour. This time there was also an endless parade of protesters in cars displaying signs. My guess is that many people couldn't find a place to park nearby.

I found a spot at the heart of today's #NoKings protest in Arlington, TX. Here's what it looked like near the beginning. There were no constables around the courthouse, and a single police car only came by twice. Nothing could be more peaceful than this, and they knew it.

More people are arriving for today's #NoKings protest in Arlington, TX. A little bit of rain isn't going to dampen anyone's enthusiasm. Here's the other side of my new sign, which was inspired by @meidastouch.com.

I'm here early for today's #NoKings protest in Arlington, TX. My new sign celebrates the important work of @marcelias.bsky.social and @democracydocket.com.

"Donald Trump brings his deviancy into the Oval Office and flashes it for all to see and hear - his vulgarity, his profanity."

Few can lambaste crackPOTUS Trump as eloquently as @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com.

I'm glad to see that @jonathancapehart.bsky.social quit the Washington Post. He joins others, such as Jennifer Rubin, Ashley Parker, and Josh Dawsey, in rejecting Jeff Bezos' censorship and subservience to crackPOTUS.

Every streetlamp
Seems to beat a fatalistic warning
Someone mutters
And the streetlamp gutters
And soon it will be morning

There is nothing covered that won’t be uncovered, nothing hidden that won’t be made known. Therefore, whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in an ear in private rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops.

This is part of a current exhibition at the Dallas Museum of Art. The artist is unknown, but it's clearly #antitrump protest art.

And here's the end of today's #nokings protest in Arlington, TX. Trump's birthday parade was weak and minuscule compared to this and the thousands of other protests across the nation today.

This was the scene about 1 hour into today's #nokings protest in Arlington, TX. The crowd had grown substantially by then.

Here's the beginning of today's #nokings protest in Arlington, TX. I was right in the middle of it. People were still arriving. The peaceful and boisterous crowd eventually stretched for several blocks in both directions.

"Democracy is under assault before our eyes. This moment we have feared has arrived... What Donald Trump wants most is your fealty, your silence, to be complicit in this moment. Do not give in to him."

No Kings protests are the best way to do that.

This will be a summer of massive anti-Trump protests, and our sprawling fig tree (25' x 15' x 12') is a daily reminder of that.

Apparently Elon Musk never saw The Texas Chainsaw Massacre before casting himself as Leatherface. The film's closing moment perfectly captures him flailing at Trump's agenda when it failed to deliver the money and power he so ruthlessly craves.
