Great job standing up for democracy MeidasTouch. Will attend a No Kings rally here with Meidas Canada. This insane nazi regime in the US affects the world and especially Canada. We have endured his relentless attacks more than any other country. Please end him before he ends us all. #ElbowsUp

Thanks for posting this, others should do it as well since main stream media is preventing "protest rally" communications.. Our community didn't provide good "visible" communication and would not release locations online unless we signed in. I don't know why anyone would insist on a "sign in" when we all live in the same community and this rotten situation affects all of us. Just a note to everyone: Don't instill division when there should be cohesion. If you truly want participation, don't put road blocks in our way. We've already been warned about Trump's new surveillance system and "hit list" (retribution and otherwise) and seen signs of it. I'm all about standing up for a cause but I'm not fool hearty enough to deliberately get myself injured or arrested. (Just a general FYI, no specific targets intended).

Thanks, Wanda, for continuing to support those of us in the U.S. who are totally against and ashamed of what is happening here. A pro-democracy American who has visited your beautiful country.

Hopefully EVERYYYYYYY SINGLE BODY who can go WILL show up. E V E R Y B O D Y. Many people will be wearing yellow to convey solidarity and peace. THIS PROTEST LITERALLYYYY NEEDS everybody. The Toronto protest I will go to tomorrow should be even BIGGER than last time. In Canada, the morning after trump won the vote to be president again, the streets were MUCH quieter than usual, heads were all bowed in the subways, sooo many people were absolutely MISERABLE. And many cried, including myself. THIS movement needs EVERYONE tomorrow... personally GET AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN TO GO WITH YOU TOMORROW, and MAKE SURE you tell everyyyone you know how insanely important THEIRRRRRRR ATTENDANCE IS ! ! ! ! ! ! This needs to be MASSIVE. trump and his minions have filled the world with LIES LIES LIES. All us bodies in PERSONNNNNN need to call his SH*T OUT ! ! ! LET'S SEND THE BIGGEST MESSAGE EVERRRR ! ! ! SAVE USA AND DEMOCRACY ! ! ! ! ! It's UP TO ALL OF US NOW.

For you bold ones,- a quickie project: This may sound stupid, but try it. If you have a not so white, white T shirt that has seen better days, put it in a bucket of water with turmeric. Use gloves because it can dye like henna and takes time to wear/wash off. It will dye the shirt a beautiful golden yellow. Just wear gloves and use caution as it can stain your hands or other nearby objects with splashing (so clean up right away). Hang outside to drip dry. A crafter who uses natural dyes like berries and spices (going back to our roots)..

Thank you Wanda, and everyone in Canada! The reason you have endured more is because you have the courage and integrity to stand up to him and all he has to bully you is his words. Your economy will be stronger without the dependency on the US. You may not have more money (but I think you actually will) but you will have a strength of community that we will never have here in the US. So much of the economy here in the US is based on greed and getting more that you need (or can afford...our credit card debt is huge). Our biggest export is our consumerism and willingness to buy buy buy and without that we don't have much to actually bargain with with other nations. Whatever goods/products we were exporting other nations can get cheaper elsewhere. I hope that Canada does not get sucked into the let's make all the money we can frame of mind the US has been in for years....the politicians here like to say we have to support the farmers (but not small businesses or low wage earning Americans) because our farmers feed us, but that's not quite the truth...our farmers have been feeding China and Africa and other nations for years so we expanded to way more farms than are needed to feed Americans, destroying millions of acres along the way. And now there is no market for all that extra food. I hope Canada will take steps to see that that does not happen in our nation!!! Especially the depleting the land, cutting down millions of trees.

I'm concerned about America's trees. trump has made noises about how many trees there are in the USA and how we don't need lumber from other countries. :-(

I think if he gets it into his head to cut down trees it won't be just trees but forests. There never seems to be any real planning involved, it is constantly taking everything to the extreme.

Expand full comment
Pat Robinson's avatar

You are right to be concerned. No one in the GOP sees any value in forests unless they are cut down so, as with everything, they will do nothing to stop him. At least for now there are blue states where trees on non federal land will be protected.

He's already selling off our national park acreage. What's even more dangerous is that some of these purchases are being made by foreign entities. If we sell our land rights, we lose America.

"The evidence assembled from USDA reporting, academic analysis, and agricultural-interest groups indicates that roughly 3% of U.S. agricultural land is foreign‑owned, with Canada holding the largest single-country share and China owning a very small fraction (ranked 18th, about 383,000 acres). Reporting also documents a recent net increase in foreign‑held acreage and active policy responses at the state level demanding better tracking and limits "[

It's actually worse than that, it's under- reported as some of the sales look like they're from Americans or allies, when they're not. A Korean cult called the Iron Fist purchased over 100 acres in Tenn..they're noted for their walled compounds and guards walking the perimeter with bullet casings in their head bands. Not a joke, I live nearby but I have no desire to get close to do any surveillance

MAGA Gun Church That Worships With AR-15s Has Bought a Giant Mountain Property in Tennessee

"Moon’s congregation, Rod of Iron Ministries, also known as The World Peace and Unification Sanctuary, is a gun-centric spinoff of the much larger Unification Church, founded by his late father, the Rev. Sun Myung Moon, a self-proclaimed messiah and businessman whose followers were famously known as “Moonies.” The younger Moon, who also goes by “The Second King,” split from the main church amid a dramatic falling-out with his mother about who, between the two of them, was the rightful heir to his father’s empire."

The article is long and detailed. Talks about the history of the cult as well the MAGA speakers and about when trump praised the Unification Church.

They have also bought property in Texas.

I can't post the address for some reason. I found it by entering a search iron fist cult in tn

I'd stay away also!

Hopefully your skills aren’t needed. Take lots of pictures of anyone appearing to agitate the crowd. During BLM peaceful protests, the local police saw people they didn’t recognize throwing frozen water bottles and running away.

I agree, having phones ready to video everyone that attempts to create havoc and make sure to get their face so eventually they can be identified and their allegiance revealed....and if they engage in anything remotely illegal charges can be filed. Verbal threats are indeed considered crimes so let's make sure we have proof of who is doing what.

Unfortunately, I am handicapped and recovering from reconstructive surgery so I cannot attend the No Kings Day rally in person but I will be watching and cheering.

I wonder if those of us who can't attend an event in person could put a sign in one of our windows? I know that a window sign may not seem like much to some people, but I believe that every little effort helps.

M Ja's avatar

Agree with you about poor coverage. I'm disappointed the organizers here didn't do a better job of letting everyone know the where and when of the protest ( the news certainly didn't cover it and I saw no signs anywhere). When I checked online, the location wouldn't be released unless we signed in. Then I got suspicious- why would you have to sign in? Who is getting the information? Is a poorly secured sign in list going to result in a home raid for being a traitor? These are scary times when a lunatic is in charge and clear communication is more important than ever
