Peoples March 2025, Seattle Edition

The Homefront

A post that will be almostly entirely photos since words and I are still aren't playing together all that nicely. I'll say only that it was a crisp, cold day in Seattle--ideal weather for walking a couple of miles with a crowd of like-minded people. I don't think any of the participants (about five city blocks worth) necessarily feel like marching on its own accomplishes much but, as the organizer, Lisa Price, is quoted saying in The Seattle  Times, “Coming together in an act of unity, psychologically it creates hope. And right now we have some hopelessness that’s going on, and some confusion and bewilderment for this person that got elected, and that is going to be creating a lot of policies that will hurt people.”

 Making with the photos, in no particular order.

I liked the succinctness here

Also spoke to me

As did this

The Socialists contingent

Some signs just hit the basics

"Now you've pissed off Gramma"

I so hope "Love Must Win" is correct.

Bessie might want one of these.

A classic (I assume it's been tucked away for the last 8 years.)

One of my favorites: short and to the point

Taking part in a demonstration isn't neutral, but it's certainly not enough. So what is?

And, of course, all the best political actions end with coffee and pastry.
