SDPD estimated 60,000+ protested in downtown San Diego alone. That doesn't include the various protests throughout the county.
For comparison, Petco Park (Padre's stadium) can hold about half of that.

The order federalizing states' National Guards applies to all states. Nothing in the order is limited to California.
Similarly, the order delegates unfettered weaponizing of all branches of the military for domestic deployments. Nothing in the order is limited to the Marines or California.

Trump federalized all states' National Guards, not just California's.
Don't believe me? Read for yourself. Nothing in Trump's order is specific to California. Instead he uses the plural of "units," "governors," and "states."
And includes unfettered use of all military branches domestically.

More cruel than the People's Liberation Army.
The commander & chief is planning to use the National Guard (against the Governor's wishes) and Marines against civilians.
Same person who refused to activate that National Guard 6 times during the 3 hour Jan. 6 riot.

Happy Belated World Bee Day!
There are 20,000 species of bees in the world.
European Honey Bees are invasive in many parts of the world: native only to Europe, north Africa, and the Middle East. They are harmful to native ecosystems outside these areas.
Have you seen any native bees?

Smaller crowd at today's protest in San Diego, California.
Unlike other 2025 protests, this one had a singular theme to protect the environment. I thought it was for May Day.
My labor sign was well received. Apparently, the environmental crowd know about the poor working conditions at the SD Zoo.

I was truly hoping the timing of Pope Francis' rebuke of the US' treatment of immigrants/refugees and when he got sick, and meeting the US VP and Pope Francis' death, were pure coincidence.
But look who is celebrating.
