Went to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social #inauguration and couldn’t get in. Totally packed. Best experience ever. #NYC is the amazing. Socialism Insha’allah.

More of my shots from #NoKings #NYC

A sign says "No Kings! Thank you for your attention to the matter." A mockery of the way Trump issues memos on social media sites.

A sign that says "You know it's bad if New Yorkers are Walking this slow."

Took me a minute, and definitely late, but some of my favorite shots from #NoKings #NYC

A sign that says "all cruelty springs from weakness"

a sign that says "we have friends everywhere," a reference to the Star Wars TV show Andor, where the rebellion identifies itself as having friends everywhere.

someone dressed in a Chewbacca outfit, a hairy character from Star Wars. They are holding a sign that says "You must unlearn what you have learned," with a drawing of Yoda, a wise, teaching character from Star Wars. Underneath Yoda's image it says "Stand against a real life imperial tyrant," next to a drawing of Donald Trump in a Star Wars Imperial uniform.

A sign that says "here comes the Smashing Trumpkings," a play on the band name "Smashing Pumpkins"
