Tomorrow, on the 250th anniversary of those first battles in our revolution, the 250th anniversary of the battles of Lexington and Concord, the battles that we won, that started the war, that we won to free us forever from ever suffering again under the tyranny of a king. Tomorrow, on that 250th anniversary, we are expecting another Saturday with protests in every state in the country.
I think at every state capital in the country, but also in general in more than 1,000 locations all across the country. Much like we saw two weeks ago at the hands-off protests, people saying, no kings. National Day of Protests tomorrow, April 19th. No kings. People expressing their opposition to this presidency.

WBAL covering that protest in Annapolis and also posting a list of the banned books on their website to accompany their story, which actually is very helpful. That's the list of books that were removed from Nemitz Library at the U.S. Naval Academy.

Protests at UCLA, protests at UC Berkeley, protests for the second time in a week at Florida International University in Miami, protests at the University of Albany in New York, protests at Northwestern in Illinois, which is one of the universities that has been targeted already by Trump.

We saw a large protest in Elizabeth, New Jersey, over fears, local fears by local residents that Union County, New Jersey, where Elizabeth is, they may contract with ICE to put an immigration prison there, a so-called detention facility there for ICE local residents coming out and saying that they will not stand for it.

A couple of weeks ago, you might remember us reporting on a big feisty protest at a little tiny airport in New Haven, Connecticut. They've got an airport there called Tweed Airport. And there's a small airline called Avello, A-V-E-L-O, that runs out of that airport, among others. They market themselves, I guess, as like New Haven's hometown airline. I don't know exactly what that means. But

Bottom line, they're marketing themselves as a consumer airline for the general public. But they are also simultaneously signing a huge contract with the Trump administration to use Avelo flights and aircraft and their flight attendants and everything for deportation flights.
