I went to the HUGE Jue 14 2025 No Kings protest in Charlottesville VA where easily over 1,000 people were protesting Trump's claim to kinghood. I have thoughts, including why attending these events is important as a citizen, but also an individual human: They can help with the feeling of helplessness.

[And yes I know the video is vertical; I recorded it for TikTok which does pretty good autocaptioning.]
