Pivotal Moments

 

Morning

Lifted from Sicko Ricko

Happy Trans Day

Lifted from Debra - She Who Seeks

Stonewall, and the lesser-known 1966 Compton's Cafeteria riot (3 years *before* Stonewall) in the Tenderloin neighborhood, marked pivotal moments in trans resistance, where transgender women, drag queens, and queer patrons fought back against police harassment. If not for those Queens, where would the community be?

Total Crowd

 

Morning

Total nationwide crowd estimates have ranged from 7M - 9M. There were 3 different rallies here to accommodate the 24-hour nature of the city's industry. Our (very) conservative media estimated 1K at the downtown evening rally, and no estimates for the other two.

Monday Giggles

But prices are way down.

Nice to Know

 

Morning

Tomorrow is the third No Kings protest. It's about a lot more than not abiding an authoritarian or theocratic regime in the US. Being billed as No Tyrants Global Day of Defiance, rallies are planned around the world.

It's nice to know we are not alone in the struggle. This time, there are none planned for the infamous Strip. But there will be three in our valley: One central at the federal courthouse, one north in a park, one south at major crossroads.

While you wouldn't expect naked protests...you never know when one might pop up.

Have yourselves a productive weekend.
