I wasn't able to stay as long as I wanted to, some issues came up.
However, I was able to catch some of the opening moments of the Rise Against the Regime protest.

To vote. To protest. To resist tyranny.
Today, we don’t ask for permission.
We exercise our rights like they were written in fire.

🧠 Alt Text (for accessibility): A digital poster on a parchment-style background titled “WE THE PEOPLE” in bold. It includes direct excerpts from U.S. founding documents: “The right of the people to vote shall not be denied or abridged...” “The right of the people to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” “No Title of Nobility shall be granted...” “When a long train of abuses... evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government.” At the bottom: REMINDER: Patriotism isn’t obedience. Patriotism is defense of the people when power runs amok.
The Constitution doesn’t whisper. It shouts.
“We the People” isn’t just decorative ink it’s a demand.

🔥 They want obedience.
We give them disruption.
They want silence.
We bring the storm.
Patriotism isn’t obedience.
It’s defending the people when power turns predatory.
This is our line in the sand.
Let it echo:
We will not go quietly.
We rise.

🔥 Patriotism isn’t obedience.
It’s resistance when power betrays the people.
This is your wake-up call.
And your battle cry.
They wanted quiet.
But today we raise hell.
