We live in the downtown area of a small town, and today the streets are packed with cars, which tell me something is happening. My first thought was that the No Kings protest must be starting in our end of town, but then I thought, well, can’t be sure, we have lots of events and it’s not weird for parking to fill up for them.

Then I watched an older couple walk past the house, moving slowly, slightly stooped, grey hair. And the guy is carrying a big handmade sign that says SMALL DICK ENERGY in thick block letters. So yeah, okay, I’m gonna go with No Kings.

Foot traffic is really picking up (I won't take photos for obvious reasons) and now we have a much younger woman in a black leather jacket carrying one that says EAT SHIT NAZI SCUM.

I like her.

Rode my bike down to the protest and was given permission to share these lovely protest signs

I rode my bike back down to the protest when some friends texted to say they were there! Got hugs, then stayed to discover there was a whole area of neat info booths I’d missed before.

Then met ANOTHER DOODLE WITH A PROTEST SIGN! 😂

#Doodle owners, you’re clearly very civic-minded people
