I think these are the last of the pics from the Hands Off! rallies. If you sent me some and they haven’t been posted, that means they got overlooked in email, not rejected as unworthy. :-) So send me an email and I will look for them, thanks.
Hands off pcs from Comrade Scott!
Video and a couple of pics from San Diego from Avalie!

Not fond of the guillotines. Like the other signs. I am a Gandhian when it comes to politics.

Boy howdy.
And thanks for all well wishes, y’all, I’m home, wearing sweats, cuddling dogs.

These have been some great signs.
We will have occasion to protest and march again, soon.

@schrodingers_cat: not saying we actually want to do that, just that we understand now where 1789 Frenchmen were coming from. ;)
(though if theres a 21st century aristocrat deserving of it, its surely that soutpiel. )

@schrodingers_cat: Yeah, I don’t like threats of violence. Drags us down to their level.

@Professor Bigfoot: late to the party (again/always) but very glad you got sprung from the hospital. Adding more well wishes to the pile.

Thanks for posting these, WG. Those last two pics are mine from the Austin rally. We had a raucous crowd of between 3 and 5 thousand, with many creative signs and garments (e.g. Statue of Liberty, Gulf of Mexico t-shirts, rainbow attire, etc.) Speakers included our local Representatives Casar and Doggett.
Many rally attendees had come a couple of hours earlier to speak up for public schools. Texas Republicans are trying to drag us even further back to the past, and all the educators I know are fighting back as hard as they can.
I also want to shout out my relatives in the small town of Haines Alaska. They joined with a hundred others on a cold rainy day to speak out. Great write-up and photos from their local public radio station:

@Professor Bigfoot: Great! Dog cuddling is the best medicine. So glad you’re home and feeling well enough to cuddle the puppies.
WaterGirl
@Sandia Blanca: Sorry for not crediting you when I added the Austin pics, an oversight on my part that has now been corrected.
Anyway
@Professor Bigfoot: Yay! Glad you’re home. Take good care of that ticker …
Sandia Blanca
@WaterGirl: No problem at all! Thank you for putting all these posts together.
