June 14

Yesterday was 'No Kings Day'. Many took to the streets to protest the goon in the White House. I went to work, but made a sign anyway and stuck it in my front window. 'Fuck Trump' would have been the most concise message, but so many demonstrators made instead really creative signs. I got an eye-full when folk came past my place of work at the Ferry Building post protest. 'Turd Reich', the image of a poo wearing a Trump coiff, seems to still be a perennial favorite. Swastika-themed placards abounded and there were many signs featuring a crown with 'Ghostbuster' red circle with a slash running across it.

My Uncle sent some images from his local No Kings protest in Marin Co., CA.



A buddy of mine took this at the Oakland, CA. No Kings event. It may look like a street fest, but she said she could not see through the crowds in front of her or behind her.

 

Protesters here in California benefited from really favorable weather yesterday. I had read that rump's event was marred by rain. Boo-hoo.

    1. And wasn't Shitler the leader of the Turd Reich?

    2. It's a good'un. I nicked that language from a republican party I attended in London held during the time of William and Kate's nuptials.

  2. I didn't go, either, but I drove by one protest. The sign that I remember best said ICE = Gestapo; the similarities are chilling. I'm so proud that so many people did go out and protest.

    1. It's disgusting behavior on the part of ICE and other law enforcement personnel.

  4. May the "Turd Reich" not last as long as "Shitler's". And may it be less devastating.
    The peace of the night.

A piece of your mind here:

Car trip up north

We just returned from a short-ish trip to Oregon and Washington. I would not recommend driving, but that is what we did as we needed to pack...
