Heading out to the "Good Trouble" protest, signs in hand.

I'm going to the one in Longmont because I couldn't find one in my little town, Lafayette, Colorado.

It was a great turn-out and so much support. The honks never stopped.

After the protest, my sister and I ducked into the Pumphouse Brewery to enjoy a cold one. A lot of protesters had the same idea. There was great food and wonderful people. So glad we went.

My favorite sign today: "If you elect a rapist, expect to get fu*ked"

Was it as big of a turnout as the last one?

We are both still riding the high we feel in our hearts. I needed that.

Daughter ordered a Trump 'stand up', put a clown nose and Burger King crown on it for No Kings protest, but was unable to go to that event. Neighbor likes it, so I am off to tape a broomstick up Trump's butt so neighbor can hold it easily.

We may get thunderstorms... monsoon finally showed up, sorta. I do have some clear trash bags, just in case I need to waterproof signs in a hurry.

still waiting for someone to come. The problem won't be fixed in time for me to get there, since it's 5:00 now and it starts at 6:00. I hope there's a great turnout everywhere.
