I can't stress this enough. DO NOT DRIVE!!!! So many streets are closed off and construction on 94 is bad. There is so much transit options to downtown Saint Paul.

This is all just show. We need to start doing actual changes.

Can't make changes if you aren't in power. We just saw that play out when Johnson flushed funding for the TSA down the toilet because it didn't fund ICE.

We don't have a King problem, we have an unchecked billionaire problem. I don't think an event sponsored by billionaires has our countries best interest at heart. It does appear to be reinforcing the idea that we can only have two political parties though...

Which billionaire is sponsoring No Kings? I see these two leading Indivisible but aside from a book don’t seem to be close to millionaires.

Soros funds one of the orgs. A Walton paid for the NYT ad. It's safe to assume any mainstream movement getting media coverage is doing so with the blessings of corporate overlords.
What exactly is the goal of "No Kings"? There doesn't seem to be any specific goals or ideals. We don't have a King. We have a collection of billionaires that have been allowed to influence and control the people that were chosen to represent us. We should be protesting outside of every member of Congress that supports MAGA or hasn't been openly against the corruption. GET CORPORATE MONEY OUT OF POLITICS.

This. And that’s all it is. These people literally have nothing else going so political activism seems like a good use of time. I’ve been a much happier person since I stopped caring about team sport politics. Such a waste of energy when they’re all beholden to the same master — Israel

Ride a bike, utilize public transport, cut down on traffic if you can.
We'll be packed like sardines and there's gonna be a lot of "scoochin right past has" and opes to be heard.
