Unicorns are supposed to be rare and mythical. But at Saturday’s No Kings protests I saw the largest outbreak in America outside a Lisa Frank store. They were everywhere, but I was surprised to see almost a dozen of them down in New Braunfels, Texas. As at many of the No Kings protests across the country, attendees embraced the example set by the taunting frog outside Portland’s ICE facility and came in outfits that you could find threatening in only the most silly and specific of contexts: Cookie Monster was there.
But you don’t pass up a chance to meet a unicorn. I got five of them together to pose around a sign one had brought: “Born to frolic, called to fight fascism.” What’s a group of unicorns called, I asked. One of them answered promptly: “A blessing!”
When I’d interviewed Latino participants at the Austin No Kings protest back in June, their voices were thick with emotion and one young man teared up. In New Braunfels, I also talked to a young Latino man who said he was worried about being deported (“though my family has been here since before it was Texas”)—but he was shouting at me from inside an inflatable dinosaur costume and holding a sign that said “No king, only T-Rex.” The dinosaur was no less passionate than the people I’d spoken to in Austin, but he laughed a lot and waved his short arms at passing cars honking their support, too.
New Braunfels is about halfway between Austin and San Antonio and between 2010 and 2020, its population doubled from 50,000 to almost 100,000 as the metro areas have swollen to meet each other. Contact with two of Texas’s bluest oases has...

“Yahoo News” sucks so bad.
Looked like a lot of abinormals were there.
What hump?
True.
Nice spin Ana, you lefty wonkette.
A cringey effort to redirect attention from the murderous left
Yeah, I could not get past the headline. Anyone who describes people not wearing a unicorn suit as a normie is too ridiculous to deserve anything more than a snort.
New Republick.................
I didn't see any unicorns but one chick wearing a balloon pig suit (at least I THINK it was a balloon suit) kept standing in front of me trying to block me. Fun times.
They’re almost all a bunch of bored old Boomers who still can’t get over losing the election almost a full year later. Nothing more to it than that.
Sure
The true deplorables
The term is an oxymoron. Mostly a rehash of material taken from rolling stoned and mother jones.
Much better than the usual Democrat rioters burning cars, buildings, looting and killing people. Must be a different wing of the party.
I was watching a bunch of videos this morning of them being interviewed:
“What are you protesting?”
“How Trump is a King and stuff”
“How is he a King?”
“By doing King stuff”
“What kind of King stuff?”
“Like what Kings do, I don’t know”
One person? Nope, this guy was interviewing one after another talking the same way.
It told me unequivocally these people are being paid
Man, the mockingbird push here reeks of desperation and flop sweat.
Blew their brains out with drugs back inthe sixties. Not all old people are that situpid.
Yea, okay.
Sorry but I was working Saturday and I ran across a few of these around my area, and I gotta say, they were WHITER than a ski slope.
Looks like that soros money didn’t filter down into the ethnic neighborhoods.
