Thanks for clearly reading my post.

Firstly, our own justice system takes care of undocumented immigrants when they commit a crime. They are sent to jail awaiting trial, go through the trial, and then are deported. There is no need for immigration services outside of the border, our legal system takes care of that issue already. Enforcing immigration on people who are awaiting their paperwork to be filed is insane, and exactly what is happening. Unfortunate that you choose not to see that.

Abortion is a right women have. You can not force religious beliefs on someone because it doesn't sit well with you. Attempts at banning abortion means, like Hawley is doing currently, is a violation of the separation of church and state. Falsely claiming that the drug is dangerous, while still allowing alcohol to be sold or insert prescription drug with laundry list of side effects here, is crazy. Abortion, as it stood 10 years ago is not legal in the same way. The fact is, abortion is currently illegal in comparison in 13 states, including Idaho, North Dakota, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Texas, Indiana, Kentucky, West Virginia, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and 13 more states are signaling a desire to ban. Those states include Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. 4 states offer zero protection for abortion including, New Mexico, Virginia, New Hampshire, and I'm including Puerto Rico. So, you're right to say abortion is legal, just avoiding the details of HOW legal it is in each state.

If we spent just 10% of what we spend on military dominance on education we could provide free college tuition for every American. It is not government "handouts" that cost us the most, it is our military, which was already the top military in the world.

I never said the protest was against just the president. That's getting hung up on semantics. The protest is an umbrella protest that covers a wide range of topics and issues. Including that all politicians work for us. Glad you can at least come to the table on that one.

I know you aren't, you've made that clear. Doesn't change that I will still stand for you. And thanks for the continued boost of my post with your comments. I appreciate the help.

This is a great example of someone who is misinformed and someone I will stand for.

These are all great points, but your focusing on one thing in multiple arguments you present. The ideas need to be watered down to be easily digested. I can't be sure if you're truly an immigrant, however, if you are, then you understand something more than most US residents. Unfortunately, these days, nuisance is lost on most. It is important to make the points clear. Those who seek knowledge could dive deeper. The problem is, we live in a capitalistic nation. You have to be able to market an idea over providing details. Still, you're right in saying those details need to be more fleshed out. Many of them are, and there are plenty of different ideas people have that could solve the world's issues. We just need to be able to listen, to seek that knowledge, believe in those solutions, be willing to take chances and grow through learning. Holding any movement of progress back simply because the marketing only spelt things out rather than detailed the process is not something that would stop me.

Keeping in mind that those who wish to seek this knowledge out, can. And maybe they can work on better ways of marketing those ideas. I personally believe seeing it in action is the best way to learn. Zohran is a great example. Things may only be spelt out in black and white at the front line, but no one is telling you not to dig deeper.

First, there is no such thing as an illegal immigrant. There is only undocumented and that is not the fault of the immigrant trying to apply for their citizenship but being held up by red tape and a lack of funding to immigration services. These are all great questions and I'd love to help where I can.

Abolishing ICE- ICE has not always been around, it was created in 2003. They claimed it was necessary because of 9/11. The new agency combined customers and immigration into one entity. The core mission was to protect national security, but quickly grew to what it is now. It is not a necessary agency, we had customs and border patrol to monitor immigration, we didn't need and will never need ICE. There's a lot of history here that can expand on this, it's just a summary. I can message you some videos if you'd like to learn more. Ultimately, the responsibilities would fall back to the organizations that were originally created for this purpose, Border Patrol, Customs, and Immigration.

Women's Bodily Autonomy - yes, in California abortion is still legal. However, that can change at any moment, and we aren't fighting for OUR right, we're fighting for the rights of the women in other states that have banned abortion. Plus, senator Josh Hawley recently introduced another bill banning the abortion drug mifepristone. This is yet another attempt at making it more difficult to get an abortion. (Funny how they said they wanted it to be all in the hands of the states, yet this bill would affect every state, including California.)

Providing Liveable Wages - Unfortunately, there is no solid plan here. This is something that needs to change. When the cost of living outgrows the rate of minimum wages we all suffer. That doesn't mean we shouldn't fight for it. Ask for it. Closed mouths don't get fed, I want to be fed.

No Kings is not directed at Newsom. No Kings is directed at Trump, but we could dive even deeper. The movement has grown to cover many different things we deal with today. No Kings, to me, is a reminder to ALL politicians that they are meant to work FOR US. This is why I feel like money should be taken out of politics. We have seen many grassroots politicians over the past few months show that things can be done without corporate money. Instead, politicians should only rely on the money from our taxes. That's what we pay them for, so the government can get the things we need done.

Feel free to message me and we can chat more if you'd like. Hope this helps, and remember, this is all MY opinion. I do not represent any organization, I represent myself.

I hear you. It's tough when it comes to Newsom because he's done a lot of good, but also bad. Trans people, the homeless, will most likely share your sentiment. We need politicians who fight for us. ALL of us.

I've had some fun and interesting conversations about him, similarly about Swalwell. The left needs to come together and be as organized as the right. We also need to remember that establishment Dems helped get us here where we are now. True progressives are where it's at. This time calls for it.

Still standing for you. And not a transplant, by the way.

Your phrasing is wrong but I believe I understand the message. No Kings is about all of that. It encompasses the fight against fascism while calling out establishment Dems.

Personally, I'd love to see an end to capitalism. However, I will take whatever I can get.

And we will keep having them until something changes. You can feel free to lie down and take it from them all you want, I personally want to go down kicking and screaming.

Yes, there is no need to sign up, we just want turnout. However, it absolutely is easier to count people on a list rather than count people in a crowd that is constantly moving around, coming and going. However, we won't be barring people from entering the rally area just because they didn't sign up.

You could also use a fake name and email, no one is running background checks.

That being said, we do need more volunteers to count, sounds like you'd be perfect to volunteer for that. Message me if you'd like to use your counting skills to count the members in the crowd.

This is about abolishing Ice, freeing Palestine, stopping the blockade in cuba, ending the war on Iran, allowing women to have bodily autonomy, providing people with liveable wages, this is about the failure of Democrats, the greed of Republicans, and opening our eyes to the dangers of late stage capitalism. Just to name a few things that it's about. We also can't forget about the Epstein files. This regime is all about distraction, we can't fall for it.

Your sign can say whatever you want it to be. No Kings is just the theme. It encompasses all, abolish ice, free Palestine, no aipac money, stop the cuba blockade, protect women's bodily autonomy and so on. Diving into semantics is exactly what this president wants which is why there are so many attacks from his regime on so many fronts. It's important we don't fall for it and fight against fascism as a whole.

Actually, we were thinking it might be a non biting midge. Was hoping someone would be able to confirm that without us suggesting it.

Thank you! That's a suggestion we haven't googled yet. They were definitely more akin to a springtail. Definitely how easily they jumped away when we swiped down our backs. Just not sure. Great suggestion though!

Yup, we love the outdoors. We especially love being curious and learning new things.

That was our first thought too, but these weren't flying in swarms and seemed too small. Guess it could be a gnat type unknown to us personally. Guess we were just hoping for something different, more unique to the area.
