I attended my second protest earlier today, I had a lot less anxiety compared to last time.

No Kings Day 2026, March 28th

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to attend the previous protest (the second No Kings Day protest)

I took my Ukrainian flag with me again this time. While there, during the march, I saw some hate speech written in chalk on the sidewalk, and took the liberty to scrape some of it off with my shoe as I walked along. There is this person in my city who is notorious for persistently writing hateful messages in yellow chalk all over the city. They have been to court multiple times, due to their refusal to clean it off. At the protest today, there was a volunteer dedicated to making sure nobody tried to pick a fight with them (I am trying to keep their identity secret for privacy reasons, so I didn't use their name or gender pronoun)

I had a great time, and will definitely do this again if I can!

I also didn't wear a face mask, or sunglasses (just normal glasses) despite recent fears people have had of being documented. My face is already out there, and I am not afraid of being known for this. I will always stand up for what is right.
I actually want to do it again, it was fun.

@seanpm2001 That is not a good practice at all, masking should be normalized on protests not encouraging people not to wear it, security is a collective thing. It doesn't matter that you are not afraid or not and if you are with a mask it doesn't mean you don't stand up for what is right.

@seanpm2001 Fsck'em. You aren't doing anything illegal. I wouldn't wear a mask. In fact, I was on the news for not wearing a mask during COVID. lol
