A PROTEST!

What a glorious weekend!  It started out a bit chilly and damp but then got beautiful. The weather got near perfect. Should I have been gardening? Probably, but this rally was far too important an issue. Time to take it to the streets! Another great protest for the No Kings Day in protest of the current maniacal criminal and administration running this country! Don't get to comfy cause I'm pretty sure many of them will be up for elimination and be told to sashay away soon.  And at this point this not a Democrat or Republican issue. I talked with some pretty hard-core Republicans who were there and they are not happy and plan to vote blue. It's about having the choice to be in a party of choice under a democracy. This weekend found myself and some of the clan in Philly for the No King Protest in great numbers, over 60,000 I last heard. Starting at the art museum and heading right up the Ben Franklin Parkway then down-Market Street.  Another reason to love the protest and this city...they will not take shit!

In 1776 it ALL began here. The second continental Congress met in Philadelphia. It was a governing body that formally declared 13 original colonies' independence from Britain on July 4, 1776, at the Pennsylvania State House which is now known as Independence Hall. King George III is prominently featured in the Declaration of Independence as the target of the American colonies' grievances, where he is accused of a long train of abuses and tyranny. The Declaration of Independence was written primarily by Thomas Jefferson and adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, asserting that all individuals have inherent rights to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Philadelphia will never give in. Some of the great signs from the march.

Some of our finery

This lady used her sign in the last rally, but still rings true.

Lumbersexual joined us too! Nice to see him and those gams.

And these two! 

At a Mexican eatery! The owners' dogs are not fond of HWSNBN and she said they will bite back LMAO!!!!

  

It felt good to get out and be part of the charge and hopefully the change. This might be just one of my favorite pictures I ever took in Philly. Where it began.

* A huge thank you to everyone for letting me take your picture to share.
