At the march and rally in Warrensburg, Missouri on Saturday, March 29th protesting the continuing shitshow which is the second Trump Administration.
“Hands off Social Security”
I listened to a talking head conversation on a so-called liberal cable network morning show. Somehow the protests are all about a wealthy Nazi’s car dealerships. Yeah, no.
“Big mistake. Big. Huge…”

As in other towns and cities across America today people in Warrensburg, Missouri showed up.
Starting at around 11:00 a.m. people gathered on the Johnson County Courthouse lawn in downtown Warrensburg for a noon march and rally protesting the continuing shitshow which is the second Trump Administration. By the time the march started there were close to 300 people marching.
After gathering on the lawn (and visiting, and voter registration) the organizers had an invocation, then communicated the march route and rally agenda. Local law enforcement agencies blocked the intersections while the marchers were in the street on their way to the Quad on the University of Central Missouri campus.
“Dismantle DOGE”
“Trump is unAmerican”
“Speak your mind even if your voice shakes”
The start of the march.
“Mein Covfefe” – allusion and sarcasm on protest signs is an American art form. Smartassery at its finest.
“Trans Rights are Human Rights”
“The Many will beat the Money. Resist.”
“Fight Oligarchy”
“We’re being played”
“The time is now!”
“Our rights are not up for grabs!”
Words from the organizers and other speakers on the Quad at the flagpole with the bronze Bill of Rights plaques at the base:
Manny Abarca IV (D).
“No Kings”
“Keep your tiny hands off my social security”
“Liberty and Justice for All”
Trump don’t care about us”
300 people marching in Warrensburg, Missouri is something to behold. There are reports that several thousand individuals marched in Kansas City
