Okay; it was refreshing to see a lot of us together, but now what? Nothing has changed. That feel-good moment is gone, and the regime keeps violating the laws. Now what?

I attended a No Kings event in Albany today with thousands of others up and down Wolf Road. News 13, Albany tv says there were hundreds of us. Pitifully poor reporting.

About 3:30 pm. The crowd here on the edge of Albany, NY is seriously thinning out. The young people are all leaving. The local police look like they need donuts and a nap. I ran into one other person that was in Chicago in '68.

Came down here to Albany today. Good crowd on Wolf Road for No Kings. But... we can fit a lot more, and the weather is pretty good.
