Never say Texas misses an opportunity to cause a (nonviolent) ruckus, as this weekend heralds a protest on the Capitol lawn. Organized by the nonprofit No Kings to take place not only here in ATX but across Central Texas and beyond, there’ll be sign-making, community action, and “Parody and pageantry.” Expect many circus-related lines to be delivered during the chants portion of the protest, and bring your own suggestions. “No more clowning around,” maybe, or “Honk off of our rights”… eh. I’ll leave the slogans to the professionals. Remember: Bring water; wear comfortable shoes, layers, and a well-fitted mask; and stick together, even when certain overpaid city employees try to break you apart. – James Scott
