Donnawisdom : Absolutely. Civil, non violent, protest is a right. It's interesting to know the motives of those financing the protest.

Kittle : No one is financing the protest - walmart heir only paid for an ad in the NY Times. The Forbes article is very clear about that.

Many teachers unions helped finance these protests. I posted some information in another thread earlier today that I'll post again if interested:

Jennica Pounds, a deaf software engineer from Utah, has gained attention for her work developing AI tools to track and analyze federal spending, particularly focusing on taxpayer funds allocated to NGOs and charitable organizations. Her efforts have been cited by figures like Elon Musk and Senator Mike Lee, and she has appeared anonymously on various media platforms to discuss government transparency.

She has recently posted this data, identifying those behind the No Kings organization:

- ALBUQUERQUE TEACHERS FEDERATION
- AMERICAN FEDERATION OF TEACHERS AFL-CIO
- CHICAGO TEACHERS UNION
- UNITED FEDERATION OF TEACHERS LOCAL 2

Some other well known "non-profits" that have been linked to the No Kings rally include Planned Parenthood, and Bernie's Democratic Socialists.

Raikonnen :
One can hope for underestimation but his response when asked if he identifies more with Jean Valjean or Javert, the response was,"That's a tough one. The last part of that question, that's tough, I think," he said, then turned to first lady Melania Trump: "You better answer that one, honey, I don't know."

TEACHERS SHOULD HAVE THEIR STUDENTS TO CARE FOR AND NOT BE IN POLITICS. I HAVE NEVER AGREED IN A TEACHERS UNION IT PROTECTS TOO MANY UNQUALIFIED TEACHERS.
