The image is a still from a movie reenactment, sorry for not flagging that.
This is a historical photo of Elizabeth Eckford attempting to enter Little Rock Central High on 9/4/1957. Slightly obscure fact: Paul McCartney has said the Beatles song 'Blackbird' was inspired by the Little Rock Nine.

Found myself mysteriously moved tonight to slightly update this image, then discovered @gangoffour.bsky.social is currently on their final tour, and was performing near me in DC while I was doing it.

Agree on "Hands Off", I think "No Kings" would have been better, sadly I wasn't in the focus group.
Indivisible had an excellent (IMHO) image all ready to go for the latter theme:

In Trump's defense, if we make his dream of a unified North America a reality we will receive a bonus of 5 armies each turn, and will be in a pretty good position to ultimately take over the entire world.

I attended two #TeslaTakedown protests, in Devon and West Chester PA. About 10 protesters at each, many #Indivisible members but some from other activist groups, and some solo.
The ratio of supportive honks to abusive gestures was about 50:1, not bad!

Yes! Politician-voter feedback loops are described in the freakin' Federalist Papers, but Dems haven't innovated in this space since OFA was shuttered 17 years ago.
