I don't mention politics much on this site but I have made it pretty clear I am no fan of Donald Trump. Why? Because the corruption I see on our legal system, especially family law, is the exactly the type of corruption Trump loves. He wants to be treated as above the law just like so many lawyers and judges I have encountered.
Last week Trump held his long desired military/birthday parade in Washington D.C. which was sparsely attended while the same day millions marched in No Kings events across the country. I was one of those people.
The march I attended in St. Paul, Minnesota was a bit surreal as earlier that morning a state legislator, Melissa Hortman and her husband were assassinated in their home by Vance Luther Boelter, a right wing nut job, posing as a police officer. Earlier Boelter shot a state senator and his wife multiple times at their home. As Boelter was still at large at the time of the No Kings protests, law enforcement advised people not to attend the protests and nearly all were cancelled. The advice was warranted considering a list of 50 or so democrats as well as No Kings documents were found in Boelter's vehicle.
I know of at least dozen people who did not attend the protest due to the warnings but S, one of my sons and I went anyway. So did 25,000 other Minnesotans.
The best part of the protest were the signs people carried. Here are a few:
