I need explain no whys or wherefores; my position on the current abomination—er,
uh, administration—has been made abundantly clear here, on social media, and in
real life. So, Ms. B. and I weren't about to miss participating in one of the
"No Kings" protests going on nationwide this weekend. There was one in here in town, but we had planned to get together with friends
Terry
&
Beth in Kernersville, so we decided to attend the one in
Winston-Salem. It was combined with their Pride Parade, and an estimated 60,000
people showed up. I even fashioned myself a sign (see above). It was an incredible event—absolutely peaceful, with a spirit
of unity unlike any I've ever encountered in person. Coolest of all, as it
turned out, friends
Scott &
Jane, from Asheboro, attended the
event as well, and we managed to find each other and hang out for the
duration.
The photo above appeared in the
Winston-Salem Journal, which documented the event beautifully. No Fucking
Kings. No Fucking Shit.
