This morning The Wife and I betook ourselves to 59th Avenue and Bell Road, to participate in yet another "No Kings" demonstration. Some images:

A really large crowd; pretty great signs. Thumbs-ups and peace signs vastly outnumbered middle fingers and thumbs-downs from passing vehicles. BUT...some brave hero slung a handful of ice at The Wife from a car. Most of it spattered ineffectually off her sign. She shook it off at once with the remark "I'm on the right side." But I said that now she can honestly say she's been targeted by ICE.
