A sign I read yesterday by a protester.

My father was killed in Normandy fighting against a man like Trump. The woman carrying that sign also paid in the fight against evil.
Thinking of her this morning a heart of what is right she touched my soul a child of the greatest generation out here fighting against Trump and his bull shit.

Along with larger events in major cities, small pockets of "No Kings" protesters cropped up along busy thoroughfares, in small town squares and at municipal parks in red and blue states alike. https://cnn.it/43pZGB2

flew missions over Germany in a B17. None of that for a hateful rich kid who despises America.
