The Ladies of Greenwich Invisible defer participation in National Shutdown Day until late March; “Baby, it’s cold outside”

Yesterday’s National Shutdown Day was a flop*, so the “Indivisibles” will try again this spring, when the weather is better

'No Kings 3' demonstration planned for March 28

A group that organized two nationwide "No Kings" protests last year is planning its next large-scale national demonstration on March 28th.

The anti-Trump protest is being organized by Indivisible, a liberal grassroots group, that said demonstrations are expected across the country that day.

Reached at her Côte d'Azur winter home, Bitsy Turnbull, co-founder of the Greenwich branch of the Invisibles explained the delay: “so many of my fellow AWFLs are away for the season — the Caribbean, Spain, there are even some hardy souls slumming on Sanibel, if you can believe it — that we couldn’t possibly be back in town for yesterday’s parade. We did send our domestics, of course, but this is really a white people’s movement — ‘‘a form of group street therapy for unhappy people’, it’s been called, and the girls and I really should be there for maximum impact. So we will be there; just not right now.

“It will be perilous coming back so early”, she conceded. “Overstay the six-month residency limit by even a day, and those jackals from Connecticut Revenue will come swarming, but after all, that’s what accountants are for. Danger or not, needs must.”
