Mrs. Dr. Omed and I attended the No Kings rally and march in downtown Louisville, Kentucky. I got the shirt at the rally. I saw it, and thought, Who ya gonna call? Icebusters! There was also a No Kings event on Frankfort Ave., also with a good turnout, so Louisville was well represented. Not to get all biblical on you, pilgrims and seekers, but I think it important to step out and bear witness against tyrants, whatever comes next.
Our march was safe, no police, no ICE thugs in sight. No one was gassed or beaten or shot, as has already happened in Minneapolis and elsewhere. I’ve been to a protest where the police rioted and tear gas was shot into the crowd. Yesterday in Louisville the only risk was to be counted as an enemy of the regime, maybe surveilled and identified. But it wasn’t a lark. The risks increase and the odds get higher every day whether you come out to be counted or stay home.
As was first sung in Harlan County, Kentucky: “Which side are you on?” Don’t make the choice; you are choosing the wrong side.
