Hello, a late-ish addition to the No Kings day protests. I know there may be too many pics, but so many great signs and people were there!
Everett is a blue-collar town north of Seattle; home of Funko, Boeing, and a large Navy base; it’s purplish though more to the blue end. Indivisible organized the day.
We had an excellent turnout at the courthouse- several thousand people showed up & then walked to the main thoroughfare and lined both sides of the street for over a mile 😊 It was very encouraging! I am recovering from my first bout of Covid, so I had to skip the second part, but I’m told it was well received-lots of enthusiastic honking. I did wear my protest earrings, which always get lots of love.
Something I noticed at this protest that was different from the one’s earlier this year was that I kept seeing men in what I think of as right-winger t-shirts- “Come and Take It” with a gun pic, or “I’m not PC, I say Merry XMas and God Bless America” – but they were out carrying signs and were all super pissed off at DT. Caused me cognitive dissonance at first, but left me hopeful!

@Dan B: I’ll have to send in a pic of Ms. Vivian – she’s been posing very prettily on the regular. She’s a diva, in the best way :)

I love the FOX “news” and cow pies sign.

Where does one get those earrings? Asking for a friend …

@cckids: She’s a gorgeous girl! Mike misses her. Our other cats don’t. Sigh…

That cow pies sign made me snicker.

@Dan B: Wait, what?
Which of your kitties did you give up, and why?
The new beautiful girl you recently got?

@mapanghimagsik: Etsy! There are several vendors selling them; they also come in various colors

@WaterGirl: Yes. Mike’s sister’s Pixie Bob. She was terrorizing our little boy and at a standoff with our big girl. She had not been around other cats and is happier as an only cat
The cat Satby had given her last summer got a liver tumor so Vivian was a good choice for Cindy, and vice versa. It was nearly instant love.

There’s no such thing as too many pics.

@Dan B: Like everything else, it’s complicated. :-)
