I promise this is my last post regarding protest signs.
Until the next protest.
First, I wrote on the day of the "No Kings" demonstrations that I'd spied a slogan outside Seattle that I assumed was homegrown. It turns out "The only kings we want are salmon" was a protest theme in Alaska. So official—o-fish-el?—credit goes to residents of The Last Frontier.
Second, when my sister Kim and her kids protested in Bellingham, Wash., she carried a two-sided sign. With "USA: Rejecting Kings Since 1776," she resisted Trump. On the other side, as the picture shows, she saluted Pride Month. When a straight family member does that, I feel supported.
A sign that both protests and uplifts? The way Kim multitasks is downright scary.
