Lady Liberty in a Chokehold...

 

This was definitely the best "sign" at the May 1 rally in our sleepy little town. Actually an amazing masterwork, probably should  be hung up over at the Art Institute of Chicago. Pretty sure that is the artist clinging to the side. Don't know his name. He wheeled that piece down the sidewalk and the crowds parted to welcome him into the circle of protesters.

Lady Liberty under assault, in a chokehold, hanging onto her life by a thread. Yes. "Stop Comarde Traitor Trump" that was the grand theme of the rally. A smaller crowd this time, May Day came on a Thursday, so you know, most of the working folks missed out. We did our usual manual labor earlier in the day, and rode our bikes over to the plaza.

There were chants, songs, speeches. The natives are definintely restless. Everyone seemed to be tracking with the latest outrages leaking out of Washington D.C. We all want it to stop, but, right now, all we can do is shout & clap, and express our extremely-deep displeasure with the way this shite is going down. Fuck.
