More photos from No Kings day in Thousand Oaks, California.
#NoKings
A mockup of tombstones in the graveyard where our civil rights will be buried if 47 et al are not stopped. The Grim Reaper stands guard. Tombstones read: "RIP....Due Process, Free Press, State Rights, Free Speech, Women's Rights." Others that did not fit in photo were: "Facts, Fair Elections, Bill of Rights, Healthcare." Two 47s nearly collide. The guy who was riding back and forth through the intersection doing wheelies. Protesters line the sidewalks in the background. Another cheerful white unicorn with a pink nose, tail and mane. The wings and horn are yellow, blue and pink.
