There is a reason why "small and mighty" is a common phrase!

Meanwhile in Grapevine....

Reza Pahlavi, the exiled crown prince of Iran, said freedom in Iran is “within reach” in a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Saturday.

“A free Iran is not a fantasy,” Pahlavi said. “A free Iran is within reach right now, but as we all know, freedom never comes free.”

The son of Iran’s last shah made the comments to the crowd of conservatives in Grapevine, Texas, amid intensifying military action in the Middle East. On Saturday, the Iranian-backed Houthis joined the fight, launching strikes on Israel, which said the country intercepted the attack without casualty.

Pahlavi encouraged the U.S. to “stay the course” in its military operations against Tehran.

“Do not throw this crumbling regime a lifeline,” he said. “Pave the way for the Iranian people to finish the job.”

Wonder whether the prince knew Epstein?

I estimate 400-500 people at the No Kings demonstration in Tarrytown, NY. Maybe more.

Our small and very red-leading city of Hornell, NY had a great showing. Among the speakers was Aaron Gies, a Democrat, working to unseat our very MAGA Congressperson, Nick Langworthy. The big cities had huge turnouts, but the small towns and villages have also done their part.

Drone count for Pittsburgh downtown #nokings 18-20k. Not nothing for a city of 300k. As far as asks I would say there were “offers” in the form of various social justice and voting rights organizations making speeches about what actions they are taking to combat the myriad wrongs before us. Attendees could snap a QR code and get 411 so they can reach out and get involved beyond participating in the March

If you want to see how this plays out, take a look at various county seats West of Fort Worth. Weatherford (Parker County) has a sizable demonstration, but it is NOT covered on local news.

Our No Kings event in Athens, Ohio was VERY well attended today. We have had good attendance at our two previous No Kings events, but attendance today was at least DOUBLE the previous one!
