03-28-2026 - Olympia WA - No Kings v3.0

Thousands of protesters showed up in Olympia on Saturday for the third No Kings protest.

Downtown was busy and congested as protesters staged for the No Kings march at Percival Landing Park. Hundreds of people were tightly packed together near and under the Percival Landing Pavilion, filling the Percival Landing Martin Marina boardwalk. Large banners, musicians, and marchers went Eastbound from Olympia Ave NW with the help of a small car and bicycle brigade, marching one block before turning South on Capitol Way N. Unlike other marches or protests, the large group progressed slowly with stops up the hill on Capitol Way, making it more accessible for those at the rear. Thousands of people poured onto the Capitol campus, joining those who were already there with organizations and booths. About an hour later, the number of people in attendance exceeded an estimated 4,000.

A small group of 'No King Bob' #MAGA counter protesters also showed up across the street. Counter protesters, including one individual dressed like a king, were primarily upset over the new millionaire tax. They were also carrying Voter ID Initiative IP26-500 paperwork. They carried protest signs that depicted Bob Ferguson as a King. Along with chants, the signs read 'No King Ferguson Rally', 'Stop the tyranny' and 'Taxation without representation'.

One visibly upset MAGA counter protester was yelling directly at WSP officers while getting in their face, accusing a protester of being an agitator and demanding the protester be removed: <yelling> ~"Hey, why aren't you guys getting this guy out of here!? get him out of here! he's about to start a fight! do your job!! do your job!! get him out of here! - WSP then intervened but were left wondering the purpose as both sides continued arguing, but no fight occurred.

So, it's a bit old, but I never saw this coming.

It turns out not all #America #First #people are entirely #senseless when taking into consideration, #serious long term issues.

Specifically, things like a #environment #risk regarding #plastic and its more aptly named #microplastic variants.

According to this #research, the #science is saying that we have to take this a lot more seriously.

Now I am no #alarmist, but I do believe in medium term #red #alerts and this seems to be very much like one.

So were all the #climate #activist types right after all about an aggressive #carbon push to reduce it?

If the leading #might is #right voices are now admitting that this #doctrine as a #regime is now failing, with multiple levels of the #deception revealing and unveiling themselves piece by piece. We now stand at a very significant #crossroads as such.

As far as I know, #news wise this post is a bit old, but still highly relevant in the scientific discussion around #health and human well being. A topic of conversation that sstill peaks my #interest no matter who strategizes new theories upon it to date.

I'm all for saving the #planet but can we please agree to go all the way, and not say it's fine if we only do so in part?

Und wieder einmal hatten die "#Alarmist":innen Recht, scheint's.

Vollumfänglich.

Die Begehrlichkeiten sind im Digitalen immer viel zu stark.

This is an ... alarmist take.

CFLs contain mercury - but a tiny amount, just milligrams. They're not particularly dangerous, broken or not. If you break one, it might scatter one or a few tiny, tiny droplets of mercury, too small to find. They will eventually evaporate and disappear, but at such a low rate that there won't be any detectable amount of mercury vapour in the air.

It is definitely far, far below any level that could cause you any harm at all - and elemental mercury isn't very dangerous to life, anyways. It's organic mercury compounds that are bad, and there aren't any of those in a fluorescent bulb, compact or traditional tube.

People used to *drink* large quantities of mercury as a health treatment for syphilis, among other things. In it's metallic, liquid form, it's just not much of a health hazard.
