My wife and I attended the No Kings protest in our town of Evanston, just north of Chicago. On the previous No Kings day, we went to the big event at Grant Park in downtown Chicago — but this time we communed with our local community. We’re glad we did. The crowd numbered in the thousands. The vibes (and signs) were great! Here’s a small sampling of the democratic creativity of our Evanston neighbors.

My wife and I came prepared with the signs we’d made the day before. My wife went with the sandwich board approach.

Here’s a better look at both sides of Victoria’s sandwich board. Intentionally schizophrenic. Trump makes us crazy, right?

When we first arrived at Dawes Park on the Evanston lakefront, we encountered a display of posters depicting people who lost their lives during the violent ICE surges across the country. Though we all saw Good and Pretti murdered in the street, many others have died in ICE custody. How many have died? We don’t know. And DHS isn’t going to tell us unless we force them to confess.

One of my very favorites! You can’t be too subtle when you’re referring to the Orange Obscenity!

A local artist painted this portrait of “Saint Pretti.” ICE made a fatal mistake when they made this VA hospital ICU nurse and Good Samaritan another martyr of the resistance movement.
