The most poignant moment I saw at the No Kings 3 march up Market Stereet on Saturday afternoon was a lone man holding a sign with a picture of Alex Pretti, the Minneapolis intensive care nurse murdered by federal ICE agents.
Most of the other thousands of Unpaid Protestors were either expressing rage or dark humor or both.
I ran into
Jan Adams, my favorite political blogger, and after a hug we shrugged our aged shoulders together in a gesture meaning, "Well, here we are back on Market Street for the umpteenth time."
One of my favorite marchers was the gentleman above who had rigged up a portable sound system playing upbeat music ranging from Aretha Franklin's
Respect to Queen and Davie Bowie singing
Under Pressure.
There was lots of anger being expressed...
...at having a credibly accused pedophile rapist blowing up the world.
In a nod to conservation, Austin was recycling his homemade sign for the third straight No Kings march.
At the end of the march, many forewent the speeches in Civic Center and went to Hayes Valley for al fresco food and drink, where I spotted the signage, "IF KAMALA HAD WON WE'D BE AT BRUNCH RIGHT NOW".
