I took a lot of pictures at the No Kings Rally in Woodstock, Virginia, but this one is my favorite.

This woman drove past the massive line of protestors yelling, “GO FUCK YOURSELVES!” and “YOU’RE ALL GOING TO HELL!”

Elderly woman in a car screaming out her window at protestors.

I'm really glad to hear you say you liked it. I really REALLY want to like it. So far my only exposure has been Nine Inch Nails' soundtrack which... isn't very good.

- The "World Socialist News"
- Daily Kos
- The Independent

Google and News Agencies have killed this canary.

Me: "Fair."
