Wife & I @No Kings

Went to next town over for AM No Kings rally.

Small rural town, but 300+ turnout

They had speakers and US flags for free and there was great crowd spirit.

Apart from lonely 1-3 Maggots, lots of cars beeping horns and waving.

I used both sides:

"No Kings"/ "Speak while you still can" plus my one-off t-shirt that bears my DU signature,

My wife's said: "Remember General Custer, Chief Yellow Hair"
(He too thought he had the whole scene covered!)

Leave your cells at home, be safe out there!

"Your miserable life is not worth the reversal of a Custer decision," appears to be a quote attributed to General George A. Custer in the film "Little Big Man".

Possibly true.
