Carla and I spent the weekend in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where we attended the No Kings event. We were surprised by the size of the crowd that marched from the State Capitol to the central plaza downtown. Many of the attendees were seniors, and we spotted lots of costumes and funny signs. Everyone was in good spirits and the overall vibe was positive. We saw one state police officer and one local officer, both of whom calmly strolled through the plaza, seeming to enjoy the event as much as everyone else.

Here are some photos I took that should give you an idea of the peaceful event.

The sign was made with AI — great idea!
