No Kings Three

The rumor in the crowd was the “LICE” came from Vashon Island, Washington. We’re not sure if that’s right or not, but they were a great addition to the march today.

Sarah and I opted for the march across the Arlington Memorial bridge this morning.

The organizers were hoping for 4,000 to beat the No Kings Two turnout of about 1,500.

To our eyes, we think they met their goal.

That’s the first time I’ve been on a metro platform when they just opened the gates and asked us to walk out without paying with our cards.

The backup at the exit was large enough they are having trouble unloading trains on the platform.

That tells me it was a good turnout.

And that was just one of the early marches to converge on the mall this afternoon.

We were happy to be part of the protest against the current administration and its refusal to follow the constitution.

It is heartening to see others who believe in the rule of law as well.

Sarah rocked her butterfly wings again, “No orange monarchs ‘cept butterflies!”
