“Another ‘No Kings’ rally is in the books and with it has come another joy hangover. As hangovers go, this is the good one. I joined more than 3,000 like-minded folks here in Claremont last Saturday, proving once again that righteous anger displayed on a mass scale doesn’t have to end in violent insurrection. The vibes were joyous, despite the seriousness of the moment. It gave me, and I suspect thousands of others, a much-needed dose of hope.” Photo/by Jessie Cadenas
