A couple hundred veterans demonstrated in Chicago and then marched thru the streets. The sponsoring veterans group was About Face, an anti war group of vets. Police were present but there were no problems. We need more Vets participating

About 100 or so turned out in Oregon IL. We even got coal rolled by some young kid in a pickup truck. Other than him, virtually zero young people showed up.

#RageAgainsttheRegime. Not a big turnout in DeKalb IL but 100 or so showed up. I've been to several protests and it seems the numbers are getting smaller, not larger. Is it my imagination or are Americans not really interested in the future of this country?

Front page of a Scottish newspaper prior to Trump's visit there to golf. You'll never see this on an American press release of any sort after most of them have bent the knee to Trump.

Best turn out yet in a Rockford IL! Probably a couple thousand. There was a Pro Trump-"Anti-abortion"counter march at the same time as ours. A few police were present but all remained peaceful

When you thank an American soldier for their service, remember what you are thanking them for. American military deployed against Americans in America when they weren't asked for by the Governor or needed by the LAPD on orders of a criminal POTUS and yes man Sec Def. As a vet, this shames me.

I ordered this flag from Canada. Shipping costs more than the flag. To me, this flag better represents what American values should be than the American flag does.

I'm an American who supports Canada & opposes all things Trump so I ordered this hat. I'm an old white guy and the hat looks MAGA from a distance. If I let my eyes go vacant and my jaw go slack, I can pass for MAGA. Should lead to some fun encounters when they read the lettering.🙂
