San Luis Obispo County participated in the second national No Kings rally on Saturday.

Mandi Sweet is the Lead Medic for the event.

“We are watching a fascist, authoritarian takeover in real time,” Sweet said. “Just like a frog in a pot of boiling water, it's heating up so slowly that we don't realize we're cooking and dying.”

At the No Kings protest in Downtown San Luis Obispo, posters, balloons and costumes of frogs peppered the crowd. Gael Mueller said it’s to represent and show support for the “Freedom Frog” in Portland, Oregon.

“He's the guy that stood in front of the National Guard and sang to them and danced for them, and they pepper sprayed him,” Mueller said. “He came back every day. He's brave. He's insanely wonderful and I think he needed a little love.”

For the second time
