We need more Dans in this country
Just met this man at the No Kings protest in Philly: Dan O’Neill.
Dan is an evangelical Christian, but says recently left a church bc its members were so uncritically supportive of Trump.
He says: “I have read the Bible recently, and everything I read in there, (Trump) is doing the opposite of.”

The parade today by contrast moves west to east, outside to in. It starts at the Pentagon not Arlington National Cemetary. It follows the symbolic route of troops entering to quell or occupy the city, not leaving with love and thanks. 8/

The Gulf War victory parade followed the mourning route, a break with tradition. But it still began symbolically at the seat of the People's branch of government and moved outward. Symbolically, this encodes many mutually reinforcing meetings. 4/

Much more somber were the interment marches for the remains of Unknowns from WW1, 2, Korea and Vietnam. These began with the Unknown lying in state in the Capitol rotunda, moved down Constitution zace along the Mall, and over the Memorial Bridge to Arling Cemetary on the hill to the west. 3/

The violent detention of Sen. Alex Padilla was terrible. But what DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said right before it might be even more frightening—and it's just one of several authoritarian messages coming from Trump and his comrades.
