Some Scenes From The June 14 No Kings Rally In Madison, Wisconsin

_________________________________________

Some pictures from the State Capitol part  of the rally. More from Reddit. From the Daily Cardinal. The Badger Herald. And as many as you want from many sources.

Here's a short PBS story of the rallies nationwide.

Here's a song. Bob Marley. Another from Bob Marley. Tracy Chapman. Marvin Gaye. Easterhouse. Creedence. 4 Non Blondes. Steppenwolf. Jefferson Airplane. The Beatles. The Rolling Stones. The Grateful Dead. Sly and the Family Stone. Stevie Wonder. The Dropkick Murphys. Here's a news story about the Hands Off rally in Boston April 5. A blast from Madison's past, with a founding member of the Dropkick Murphys, Mike McColgan. A rare gem from Bobby Darin. Rendering others to ashes will eventually bring the rendering home, in a reaping we now find unimaginable. Even Donald Trump has to serve somebody. Guess who.

Here's something new.

Some revolutionary quotes from Ernesto "Che" Guevara. My favorite is this: "At the risk of seeming ridiculous, let me say that the true revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love. It is impossible to think of a genuine revolutionary lacking this quality […] We must strive every day so that this love of living humanity will be transformed into actual deeds, into acts that serve as examples, as a moving force."

Great quotes from Nelson Mandela.

R.I.P. Sylvester Stewart. I saw  Sly and the Family Stone once, in 1974. It was a great concert. They were on time, in time, and Sly started the show by imploring people standing in front of people in wheelchairs in the first row to move out of the way. No one moved. He picked out one guy, pointed directly at him and  said "I'm talkin' to you,  dude!" They all scattered. Here's some of their performance at Woodstock. Here's some more.

Update, July 3: Even Trump insiders are wondering about his physical and mental health. To which I respond: Duh! What were you wondering in, say, 2016? Or earlier? And, with doubts, especially about his mental health, will any of these "insiders" do anything with their doubts? Not likely. They will save their own skins before saving the country. Maybe this is what is meant by white supremacy: skin before country. I wonder if they have any doubts about various members of Trump's administration, such as Pete Hegseth. One way to test Hegseth's functionality is to have a truckload of whiskey delivered to the Pentagon, addressed to "SECDEF."
