The right (lots of them) have been preaching hate and, in some cases, violence towards democrats. They have been blaming us for Charlie Kirk's murder and threatening us. It's getting scary for me and my neighbors. The murderer came from a pro-trump Mormon family. I'm beyond fed up and angry.

We were in Hamlin today for an anti Trump, pro-justice rally. We had some minor harassment from drive by people but none as confrontational as Laura Partyka of Partyka farms and the Farmers Table restaurant.
I've spent money supporting their businesses before but never again.

On 6/14/25, approximately 20 people attending a No Kings rally in Hamlin, NY were met with MAGA attempts to intimidate them. Tomorrow, 7/17 there will be another rally in Hamlin (5-7 PM).
I would like to see hundreds of protesters in Hamlin NY. We will not be deterred.

We heard about the political shootings in Minnesota while at a "No Kings" rally here in New York. MAGA needs to know that this will only make us angrier and more determined to defeat the MAGA movement. We will not back down. We will continue to fight. They can't kill us all.

The June 14 protests are upon us. Find one near you and participate. We need big numbers and we need to be really loud.
Burning cars, destroying property or violence on our part need to stop. Things are getting serious but we need to remember that we are proud Americans.

Last night's rally in Rochester was, as expected, wet. Nonetheless, a good crowd of many hundreds showed up to raise our angry voices. The rallies may seem futile at times but as the movement grows, they will eventually come to fear us. We need to remain resolute and focused.

Donald Trump's FBI has arrested their first judge. I say the first because I believe there will be more attacks on the judiciary. Many more. The fight becomes more serious with each passing day. If we sit back and allow the atrocities to go unchecked, we can only blame ourselves.
