On the Road is a weekday feature spotlighting reader photo submissions.
From the exotic to the familiar, whether you’re traveling or in your own backyard, we would love to see the world through your eyes.
Though one of the local mini-marches gathered literally at my street corner, I went instead downtown with a friend. So glad I did! Heartened by the size, snark, and determination of our crowd. Some pix, to give a feel of big blue city protest, west side style! No counter protests that I saw. And only one like, anarchist-looking-we’re-all-too-bougie-for-him [of course a HIM]-from-the-left person along the route: so sad he gathered NO interest :). Inspired me to look for and join whatever is next!
this lady had both sign and hat on point.
loved this one!
relevant to our BJ interests
liked the juxtaposition here
this one just ’cause it was the location of a BJ meet up some years back!
relevant (and true) to some of our discussions here lately
starting point was festive!
and end point. no idea what crowd size ultimately was, and if there were speakers I could not see or hear them! Thanks everyone for sharing your pix and experiences: we are not alone!

@Kristine: trump is a malignant narcissist. That’s close enough to insane for me. But the Wall Street sharps voted for and donated to the monster anyway.

Everyone remember that British tabloid “who will last longer? Liz Truss or this lettuce?” when Liz Truss was oh-so-briefly Prime Minister of England?
someone’s trying that stunt with the tariffs:
