Just yesterday I read a USA substack item encouraging participation in the "No King" peaceful protests. It provided a map showing every centre where the "No King" rallies were to be held - the country was covered from coast to coast. Together with this was a link to the Human Rights Campaign site which provided advice for protesters - https://www.hrc.org/resources/tips-for-preparedness-peaceful-protesting-and-safety?utm Reading through the advice was mind boggling - it is pretty comprehensive and I imagine just reading it would be quite fear invoking - eg let someone know where and when you are going/get home; record what happens; how to respond to arrest; how to deal with tear gas; etc Now, following the news of these political assassinations, a memo has been circulating advising against attending the "No King" rallies. I guess there will be those who are torn between the need for personal safety and protest.

I hadn't seen that rave by Simian - oops, Simeon. He could do with studying some history. Churchill may be seen by many as a great wartime leader but his interference also caused unnecessary deaths (eg the Greek Campaign and Crete). He was also something of an imperialist racist! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racial_views_of_Winston_Churchill
