Despite warnings from officials urging people not to attend the "No Kings" rally in St. Paul on Saturday due to safety concerns tied to the targeted political shootings of two state lawmakers, thousands made their way to the state Capitol to protest the Trump administration.
Yeah, people misunderstand how citizen protests work when they talk about protest organizers like they’re in charge. Maybe they filed some papers with city hall and did some promotion, but there’s no such thing as “protest leadership”.
Around 80,000 people still showed up to protest at the MN capital today, so I don’t think what “officials” say matters.
The officials can get fucked. What an absolutely absurd and cowardly response.

Yup protests have no head to kill. So try as they may this will continue until we are sure no nazis are inside our political system.
Good.
The social contract is unraveling.
Important comment, this has been fraying for several years and now it’s unravelling.
