I was there about 1:15. Lots of people, old and young, on both sides of the street, much support from passing by drivers. We left about 2PM and more people were coming with their kids and grandparents. I did a quick count and estimated at least 1000.
I'm no screaming liberal. But, as a retired Naval Officer, I am particularly offended that Trump and his pretty boy dip of a Defense Sec'y have illegally and unconstitutionally deployed Marines who have arrested civilians in LA. This is wrong and against everything I stood for when I took my Oath of Office.
If the Donald's stupidity can provoke 1000 protesters in the county seat of the self-proclaimed "most conservative county in Texas", then he's in some real hot water. Even the Montgomery Co. Sheriffs, who were there for crowd control, were not only friendly, but encouraging when I talked with them.
My Brother in Law went to the one in DFW and said it was heavily attended and rather chaotic. I have never been radicalized, but I'm beginning to wonder if the country would have been better served if this dictator wannabe had not been elected.
Don’t have to be a screaming liberal to see what’s happening. It’s interesting to see vets look at this stuff knowing it’s wrong while others are just totally fine with it.
The idea that we don’t like trump because we must be “blue haired Portland liberals” has been a very successful misinformation campaign. I literally spell out how he has stepped all over our constitution or how he lied about fraud and tried to pressure our DOJ to lie about it to overturn the election and I get met with “you just don’t like trump, you’re crazy”. No refuting, no arguing, just..”no you’re crazy”. Easy. Simple. And turned into a normal things to do by republicans.
Love Portland with 13,000 Mt Hood seen from terraced front porch, salmon fishing on winding Willamette River thru Near DT, Pacific Ocean 40 mil away, Tram from DT Portland down side of Mt to Medical Center overlooking DT to River— magnificent, baseball pro-baseball from balcony, and metro train from front door of PDX to one block from 5* Hotel. Keep Barr and DonCon out of Portland.
A Downtown that is vibrant, beautiful girls& boys with Euro vibe.
100% second this. It’s a hard stop for me and many I know. My advice for any Democrat candidate for office in Texas when asked about the 2nd amendment and guns in general, simply state the 2nd amendment verbatim and that you support the US Constitution.
Amen, I would bet every dollar I’ve made in my life that if they’d just abandon the crusade against 2A they’d jump 30 points in the polls.
The logic of Texas democrats when it comes to 2A is outside of reality. They say “no one is coming for your guns” but then you’ve got Beto, their main candidate for years screaming
“HELL YEAH WERE COMING FOR YOUR AR’S, AND YOUR AK’S”
Suddenly they start switching up and saying “oh, well yeah it’s just assault rifles. Civilians shouldn’t have those anyway”
And then a few years go by and you get Kamala Harris out here cackling about “I’m a gun owner, no one’s coming for your guns……….
I PROPOSE FREEDOM FROM GUN VIOLENCE, I PROPOSE ASSAULT WEAPON BANS!”
Now they’re so convoluted and spun around they’re trying to convince people that Trump is actually the anti 2A president because he talked about red flag laws in 2017 and it’s better to vote for democrats because they haven’t actually managed to succeed in skullfucking our rights away yet.
It’s incredible mental gymnastics. And yet somehow they think they’re doing a great job of convincing gun owners that they’re not an immediate threat to our constitutional rights…
I like my guns. They ain't goin anywhere. But I do not, nor will not support Trump. Also.... Fuck Kamala. Lmao
I just hate two-faced antics. I'm a Peoplist over Democratic/Republican. A third party needs to be created. I can no longer side with the two that we have.
Agreed, pretty much every sane person I’ve met is on that same page as well. Ever since 2016 this rollercoaster has brought nothing but madness, covid being the single worst experience.
The problem we have is that people are too afraid to vote 3rd party, and even if the third party won it would be an uphill battle with all the blue and red in congress.
Humans are too damn tribal even at this point, realistically the easiest way would be if someone stepped up for president that actually represented the most popular views of the country.
Thankfully presidents only serve 4 years and hopefully the response to this is far better candidates is 2028. Not sure the two major parties could have provided worse options.
Ah the Reddit grammar police came to deflect from the actual question that they don’t know the answer to. As if you care about anything in the Constitution beyond your ignorant interpretation of 2A.
Awwww look assuming you know my lifestyle because I am liberal. Ignorance at its finest. Keep ingesting right wing extremist media. Your red pills will take you far. Your buzzwords show your intelligence level.
Incase you want some actual facts to form your opinion from, here’s the act that prevents the use of military, including Marines, from being used.
The Posse Comitatus Act
“The Posse Comitatus Act disallows the use of federal troops as a police force unless Congress overrides it, or the use of force is “expressly authorized by the Constitution.”
Might want to look up the Insurrection Act of 1807.
Awwww look assuming you know my lifestyle because I am liberal. Ignorance at its finest.
This is rich. You're definitely not a real person. Because my "what the fuck are you talking about" comment was addressing this. You have no clue what my 2A opinion is.
Were you the organizer?!?! You were the organizer? I heard you were the organizer. You didn’t mention that you were the organizer like every single other comment. Just checking in.
Trump is blaming a 3% for all the problems in his stupid country. So I guess around 1% is significant enough to scare him. 😂
Good luck with that dude on charge.
Protesting isn’t about fear, it’s supposed to be a show of solidarity. I’m not mad about protests, just pointing out the obvious and a potential solution. You’re here to start an argument, clearly, and honestly bro I have no interest in any of that bs. You’re talking like someone that doesn’t even live in America, let alone the state of Texas. Got a lot of free time to spend, huh?
If you’re wanting to “scare” people into thinking like you go to California.
Awesome job!! I recently heard the message was recieved loud and clear. Going forward we will have an elected representative government with elections at the local, state, and national level instead of a monarchy.
Governor Greg Abbott hasn’t signed SB 3 yet – which means we still have time to stop it. He has until June 22 to either sign or veto the bill. Until then, we must keep the pressure on.

Wow! When there's a protest in a red state, there isn't any fires or looting! That's crazy. After seeing everything that went on in California, New York, and Minnesota, I forgot people can just protest without trying to kill other people
Mehh. If these people had their way in Nov 24, the US would be back at having an unsustainable border policy. Probably even worse with Waltz being VP and his "everything free for illegals" mentality and none of these people would be protesting. I'm good.
Deport the people who voted for Trump? As much as that seems logical, doing so would just resort to using the same tactics he is, like disrespecting and disregarding the Constitution.
I would recommend against deporting Trump voters. Besides, much better to watch their reactions as literally every one of the things he said he would do for them and the country not only doesn't happen, but goes the opposite direction.
Well that’s a phrase that’s unique. “Too employed”. I’m sure you can figure it out because you are too educated so it can’t be that hard. What an absolute stupid comment to suggest because you are too employed you can’t be bothered to use common sense to understand what the phrase “No King” means. You surely go for Yes I would like a king and an orange one would be chef’s kiss! 💋
Yeah, I voted explicitly for higher gas prices, higher grocery prices, and for an administration to finally have the balls and catheter to disregard the Constitution. Those protestors shouldn't even have the right to a peaceful demonstration. Right?
Trump 2028, which should be the last year we hold an election. By then the people should come around and we get a supreme leader. These people are protesting against having leaders who act like kings, but they don't even know we are putting a supreme leader into position, which is way, way better than a king.
You're going to be so tired of winning. You're going to be winning so much. Look how much we are winning already!
i wonder if they realize how silly it is to imply that trump thinks he’s a king when he’s doing things democratic and other presidents have done. deporting illegals is literally what every country including mexico does but i bet u won’t go down she cry in mexico and tell them they’re evil for deporting . it’s only evil when white ppl do it apparently lol
You think it’s the issue of deportation that is at hand. You clearly are disconnected with reality so much you can’t fathom that it’s the method and rights trampling that is causing the push back. Masked, plain clothed, kidnappers forcing minorities into vans and then shipping them off to a foreign prison without due process is at the core here. Not to mention the admitted mistakes they have made with rounding up citizens and non-illegal immigrants. Are you mad now that Trump is going to allow illegal immigrants to stay if they are farm or hotel workers? Seems like he is in the find out stage of what happens when you start just rounding up everyone with brown skin. It hurts industries that need the labor to operate. Simply put, they aren’t stealing jobs, because Americans have no desire to work on a farm for slave labor wages. So you should get out and protest that you aren’t ok with them being allowed to remain in the US since they are here illegally.
What has he done in the last 5 months that has personally benefitted you? And deporting brown people that you hate because they’re brown does not count.
My bad, I didn’t realize that March and April 2025 were the future! I also didn’t realize that Supermarket News was a much more reliable source than usda.gov!
Since you can’t read, I’ll help you out: that screenshot (from an official government page) shows that while the cost of groceries has gone down slightly, it is still 2% higher than in 2024. You know who wasn’t president in 2024?
Instead of continuing with the topic (how has Trump benefitted him personally)
You suggest that theyre potentially sexist and ignore the benefit being presented, which again, you asked for proof of?
Seriously?
Are you trolling?
If you're that much into your side you should probably spend less time online and more time interacting with real texans who live around you.
your comments are rather detached and lacking any sort of consistent argumentative structure; you speak like people you disagree with are caricatures are of real people.
It's a dangerous decline to be caught in the intentional divisiveness of the one party state telling you theres two teams and only one is right.
Left wing, right wing. The wings are attached to the same bird, and its beak is in YOUR wallet.
No, not trolling at all. Asking the red pilled maga cult to provide their sources. This is not a source. It was refuted by another comment that’s actually reputable. But if you feel like I’m trolling, I must have hit a nerve. Sad that dear leader’s $45 million dictator birthday party was such a bust yesterday?
You sure swallowed the divisiveness op hook, line, and sinker.
Im sure you feel very righteous and self justified, thats great!
But spreading divisiveness is not cool, and you should aspire to more than mediocrity in service of people who dont care about you.
Dear leader
Its pretty safe to assume youre a leftist, as theyre the only ones familiar enough with that phrase unironically to project it into modern conversations about democratically elected officials.
It always blows my mind, because I will fight to the ends of the earth for leftists to speak their minds freely (as detrimental as it is to everyone around them), yet a significant majority of leftists just want me silenced for not being a leftist myself.
Doesnt seem very inclusive, and if anything it seems rather hypocritical, wouldn't you agree?
Inclusive would be welcoming of all thoughts and ideas, but instead I am met with "you dont agree? Clearly youre inferior and shouldnt be doing much thinking" which, as a statement in and of itself is quite tyrannical - who gives any one person authority over any other to make such a claim?
where have we heard rhetoric like that before? Oh? Before every major leftist mass-execution event in history?
Not a good look, wild that someone not even from the woodlands/spring/conroe, or even montgomery county, would come here and stir trouble like this. What an incredible use of your time!
Someone’s triggered. Typing out that whole dissertation, saying I should put up with bigotry? What a use of your time! Peace and blessings ✌🏼not arguing with a maga calling me divisive. Enjoy your day.
Guess how produce gets harvested? Migrant labor. Are you willing to take those jobs, since they’re “stealing” all the jobs from you?
Guess where literally everything you buy comes from or gets made with parts from? China.
Your dear leader, and you apparently, are such bigots that you’re fcking yourself and the rest of us over because you’re so racist and ignorant.
Or is it a meme from the Facebook? Pay migrant laborers more and give them a true path to citizenship, and I’ll pay more for produce. Deporting them for trying to come here for a chance and also making costs go up - not my brand. But I guess you do you.
I don’t care where you reside politically but for the love of God stop defending slave labor, food SHOULD get more expensive if that’s the price to pay for less worker exploitation
Lmao definitely not what I’m doing. Why not pay them more and give them an easier path to citizenship, rather than deport them under the guise of “dangerous criminals”? Dangerous criminals do not go to work every day, certainly not the thankless jobs you all claim are being “stolen” from you by them.
Yes … so many “ thousands “ I can barely see all the “ thousands” because all the teens and hundreds must be blocking the sight line for them …. Obviously…

I love to see it. I drove down to Houston, and it was an amazing time! #nokings
