    Loveland, Ohio’s “No Kings” rally w/video and interviews

    Editor’s Note: An attendee and her husband who walked the venue reports: “We counted around 900. I know a lot of people had been there earlier and already left so I’m sure it got decently over 1000 during the day.

    Loveland, Ohio – A thousand Loveland Area residents with a hundred grievances lined a 1/3 mile stretch of Loveland Madeira Road centered in front of the Loveland Primary/Elementary school campus and Shoppers Haven on Saturday afternoon. Not since the Loveland Tigers won the State Division II football championship in 2013 had so many united for a cause. Hundreds more honked horns, showing support as they drove past the rally.

    On the same day that tanks and artillery launchers rolled through Washington D.C. on the Army’s 250th anniversary, the day that President Donald Trump turned 79 and wanted a national birthday party for himself, local organizers had called for a “No Kings” rally in Loveland.

    The organizing rallying cry was, “NO KINGS is a national day of action and mass mobilization in response to increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption from Trump and his allies. We’ve watched as they’ve cracked down on free speech, detained people for their political views, threatened to deport American citizens, and defied the courts. They’ve done this all while continuing to serve and enrich their billionaire allies.”

    FOX News reported that “millions of people were said to have turned out at “No Kings” protest marches in nearly 2,000 cities across the U.S.”

    Alt National Park Service reported last night, “We’re honored to report that over 11 million showed up for today’s No Kings protest, and totals are still coming in.”

    From the Old Farmer’s Almanac

    THE MARCH EQUINOX

    In the Northern Hemisphere, the March equinox (aka spring equinox or vernal equinox) occurs when the Sun crosses the equator line, heading north in the sky. This event marks the start of spring in the northern half of the globe. After this date, the Northern Hemisphere begins to be tilted more toward the Sun, resulting in increasing daylight hours and warming temperatures. (In the Southern Hemisphere, it’s the opposite: the March equinox marks the start of autumn, as the Southern Hemisphere begins to be tilted away from the Sun.)

    Begins Monday, March 29 through Friday, April 2

    Children and Air Pollution

    Children face special risks from air pollution because their lungs are growing and because they are so active and breathe in a great deal of air.

    Just like the arms and legs, the largest portion of a child’s lungs will grow long after he or she is born. Eighty percent of their tiny air sacs develop after birth. Those sacs, called the alveoli, are where the life-sustaining transfer of oxygen to the blood takes place. The lungs and their alveoli aren’t fully grown until children become adults. In addition, the body’s defenses that help adults fight off infections are still developing in young bodies. Children have more respiratory infections than adults, which also seems to increase their susceptibility to air pollution.

    Furthermore, children don’t behave like adults, and their behavior also affects their vulnerability. They are outside for longer periods and are usually more active when outdoors. Consequently, they inhale more polluted outdoor air than adults typically do.
