The No Kings Day rallies on Saturday in Middlebury, Vergennes and Brandon at least matched the excitement at the 2,700 No Kings protests around the country. The message to our elected president was simple: Be nice, follow the law, tell the truth, stop treating your detractors as enemies, and it takes all kinds of people to make a great nation.
Vergennes City Green hosted a lively protest that saw more than 750 participants waving signs and accepting positive honks of support. Nearly 500 showed up in downtown Brandon. In Middlebury, more than 1,000 marched, sang, rang bells and shared a festive spirit. Independent photo/Steve James
