Here in Vista, California we had a nice little No Kings, No Clowns protest - with plenty of clowns! It was awesome! We had a crowd of somewhere around 500 people in spite of the fact that the No Kings organization refused to post the event.

LOL, I guess that Musk and Trump have officially broken up.
This is a screen shot of Elon Musk's tweet today (June 5th) saying that Trump is in the Epstein files.

An estimated crowd of about 750 people gathered at an “Empty Chair Town Hall” at the CA Center for the Arts in Escondido on March 23, 2025. The event was an Indivisible protest against Darrell Issa who is refusing to do an in-person town hall in the CA-48 district which he represents.

I went to a protest in Escondido against Congressman Darrell Issa today organized by a local Indivisible group trying to get Issa to hold an in-person town hall meeting so they can get him to answer his constituent's questions. Nice day for a protest here in SoCal.

I took these photos in Feb. 2017 at a candlelight vigil outside Darrell Issa's house. The sign says "End Trump's Russian Lies + Ties Now". Could re-use the sign now. Protests are resuming at Darrell Issa's Escondido, CA office.

Unfortunately many protest signs from 2017 are still relevant today.

I just joined a local Indivisible group, and they are protesting outside of Congressman Darrell Issa's office. In 2017 he was representing CD-49. There were protests outside his office every Tuesday for about a year. He went up onto the roof of his office building to spy on the protesters.

King Putz. Seriously, this crap is coming from the official White House FB page? OMFG...
The official White House Facebook page posted a picture of Trump as king.

LOL, I guess we can thank Trump for getting more mileage out of old protest songs. For a second I thought your guitarist was playing a Jazzmaster. Then I saw it was a Strat.

Fuck yeah. Practicing all the old protest songs on my guitar, and getting ready to photograph a lots of good trouble.
