Hey again bloggers or whoever could be reading this blagh. And there were nationwide No Kings anti Trump protests this past weekend on October 18th in that country of America as a result of the 2024 United States presidential election. And America is now a country divided between red and blue and left and right and good and evil that seems to be on the brink of a civil war and world war three. And then there are those 3I/ATLAS aliens, not the immigrants, that NASA has gone silent about, in the midst of a government shutdown that has 42 million people wondering if they are going to get their food stamps next month of November.
And I am not exactly sure how to end this blagh post except to say that the internet is down and there is a global outage as I type this blagh post and we are living in crazy times. And what, if anything, does this have to do with a No Police State. Have a great No Kings, Trump For King, no internet day and more.
The New York City Parks Department has banned these Tompkins Square Park t - shirts because of the logo on them.
And
I am planning to vend banned Tompkins Square Park t - shirts for $10
each at, well during, the next Shows in Tompkins Square Park concert,
Monster Metal Mayhem, September 27th, 2 -6pm at Tompkins Square Park,
New York City.
And it became a day of when
people tell you that they have been looking for this shirt forever.

And what, if anything, does this blagh post have to do with a No Police State. The only thing constant is change and some stories do not end as you expect. Have a great concert, harvest arts festival day and more.
East Village No Police State Girls influences are the world. I am an artist living in New York. Long Live the Lower East Side. Peace on earth and goodwill to all mankind.
