Easter Keester?

 

A Lesbian Represents

A friend in Vermont sent me this photo taken at an anti-ICE protest in Brattleboro this past weekend. I needed the levity.

It's Coal All Around

I spotted this sign outside of a Seattle bar. Perfect.

Them's the Rules

 

Signing Off

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.

I've been at this protesting thing long enough to know that people share sign ideas online. So if you see a witticism on a sign in a Poughkeepsie protest, you'll see it again in news reports from Detroit, Little Rock, and Billings.

Today, as I joined hundreds of folks in a bedroom community outside Seattle for a "No Kings" protest, I noticed a woman holding a sign that I'm guessing is actually unique to the Pacific Northwest. It read "The only kings we want are salmon."

Monarch of the Moment

My longtime friend Dennis is ready for a "No Kings" demonstration in Maine tomorrow. I love the itty-bitty hands, the endless tie, and the Burger King crown. I also love it when straight guys have artistic talent and aren't afraid to show it.

I participated in the "Hands Off" rally in Edmonds, Wash., this afternoon. I've been waiting for an opportunity to express this particular opinion.
