| 5/9/25 Jackson Federal Building, downtown Seattle |
For a while now, Seattle’s concerned citizens have been
meeting weekly on Federal Building Fridays to show solidarity with
federal workers and express general resistance of the current presidency. On a
sunny afternoon outside the Jackson Federal Building, they chanted discontent
through megaphones and carried signs: “No fascist USA!” “Where’s my
constitution?” “We don’t want your Swastikars!” My favorite was “The Turd
Reich.”
I’m not good at counting crowds, but probably 50 or more people showed up for the noontime rally. Passing cars continually honked their support, and participants waved back. Music could occasionally be heard. Although their messages were strong and serious, they had a friendly, almost happy, attitude – not angry and certainly not violent.
This is what democracy looks like.
That was my favorite too! God bless these persistent protestors - they may be exactly what saves our democracy.
ReplyDeleteYes, we have to voice resistence in whatever way we can. This is my way.
DeleteGlad to see you are recording some of the protests. This is what democracy looks like!
ReplyDeleteRight on, sister!
