They even have to hide the regular stadium sponsor’s logo. Which they did with a white drape at Levi’s Stadium. In response, this is now the Levi’s logo on social media. 🤣

This was my 3rd No King Protest in San Jose. It was much larger than the previous ones. The signage was quite exquisite today. People have had enough!

If on iPhone, have you enabled screening of unknown callers? That doesn’t solve the problem but make it more bearable. Settings>Apps>Phone.
