If you have a couple hours to spare Friday night, head on downtown and protest the racist extreme right wing gathering!

Highlights-

"The summit?s (https://www.facebook.com/events/4507216185968579/?acontext=%7B%22ref%22%3A%2252%22%2C%22action_hist ory%22%3A%22%5B%7B%5C%22surface%5C%22%3A%5C%22shar e_link%5C%22%2C%5C%22mechanism%5C%22%3A%5C%22share _link%5C%22%2C%5C%22extra_data%5C%22%3A%7B%5C%22in vite_link_id%5C%22%3A166791125428282%7D%7D%5D%22%7 D) very theme of ?Frontier Freedom? is a white-supremacist dog-whistle and an insult to the Indigenous peoples of Colorado."

"Their choice to hold this meeting on Juneteenth is clearly racist."

"These groups seek to limit our freedom of expression and assembly, the building blocks that working-class and oppressed people need to organize against our exploitation and oppression."

I'm not sure what the last one means but I've got a trash can lid and a bottle of milk. I'm ready to regain my freedom from that evil manipulator Victor Davis Hanson!

I don't like to give people like this the attention they seek.

Denver Communists. What a name, and they think they are the good guys and are going to fight fascism. Do these people actually know what these words mean? Did they learn anything in history class? Useful idiots I suppose.

When I was a little kid, my mother told me communists sleep in the same bed, head to toe, with each other's feet in their mouths because people in communes do that. Mom never lies.

They protested. Caused a few problems. No local TV coverage I could find.

Westword downplayed it-

Washington Times played it up-

I am getting sick of everyone involved. I wish they would find new hobbies, like kite flying or taking long hikes, especially around short piers.
