On a #49 Muni bus this afternoon I sat next to a gentleman holding a homemade cardboard sign.
We were both on our way to a protest taking place in front of the Tesla showroom at 999 Van Ness.
The signage was mostly direct and to the point about the fascist coup currently taking place in the U.S. federal government...
...led by the malignant Trump and the ketamine-addled Elon Musk.
This was one of hundreds of protests taking place nationwide in front of Tesla dealerships...
...which is one prong of the rapidly building resistance to authoritarian rule by the racist, misogynist South African, Elon Musk.
Though the protest was serious, the crowd was joyous...
...which was brightened by a lively band that played continuously for two hours.
There was even a celebrity sighting of writer Rebecca Solnit (the Woman in Black) holding a #DefendDemocracy banner on a median strip in the middle of Van Ness Avenue. She's been an invaluable online presence since the January 20 inauguration, doing just that, defending democracy.
