Yo KOS – I’ve seen NO coverage of the February 5, 2025 Nationwide Protests held at State Capitals! The oligarchy in control is PATHETIC!!! Perhaps I’m getting more anxious and annoyed by everything about this but to sum up my feelings, I recall the scene in “Return of the Jedi” when Darth Vader has brought Luke Skywalker before Emperor Palpatine & the Emperor reveals the plot to destroy the entire rebel effort by the trap he has set… the line of dialog is “I can feel your hatred growing…”
In any event, I want to share with KOS what happened in Denver, CO & hope others can share their stories from other state capitals… it is basically NOT going to appear otherwise… Oh, I shared on Facebook too – a few of my friends saw it but it seems the post is algorithmically suppressed by Zuc-head
Anyway, I work in downtown Denver and am a short scooter-ride away from the Capital. I knew the protest was scheduled for a noon start but I couldn’t get out of work for that time – I had a free hour closer to 1:00 PM (& I work with a great team plus do not have a micromanager supervisor) so I took my lunch break time to get over to the event.
I’m pleased to report that about 1,000+ folks had turned up – many handmade signs protesting Trump, the GOP, & Elon especially – realizing that the oligarchy has pretty much taken control (almost) and our democracy really is in danger of slipping away… Popular sentiment however is rising and corners of action / resistance are beginning to take better shape…
There were speakers and marchers and the demonstration was entirely peaceful. The police presence was also well done – keeping the motto of “serve and protect” to manage traffic in the area so all remained safe & unharmed. I include some pictures from Denver (the evidence!)…
I remain encouraged that the people really ARE starting to wake to harsh reality – I’m hoping the shock/pain some T*&%$# supporters will be feeling (& all of us too ) will be short-lived and a new FDR moment happens in the USA where the billionaires are slapped down and an aware and harmonious form of human society can emerge to save the planet & ourselves on this amazing life-journey…
