Here is my earnest, cringy sign for Saturday's protest:

Sign with colorful stripes that reads, "NO KINGS! YES PEOPLE POWER! NO WAR! YES PEACE! NO CRUELTY! YES KINDNESS!"

You should read the article. This guy is not saying there is nothing to be worried about.

Since then, one red line after another has been crossed: Undocumented immigrants are called animals; civilian boats are blown out of the water; American citizens are gunned down in the streets and then accused of being domestic terrorists; universities, news organizations and law firms are being bullied and blackmailed; and refugees are deported to countries whose languages they probably don’t even speak. And that is aside from the blatant corruption of family and cronies.

All this was incremental, too, but compared with 1934, everything goes much faster. And yet life continues as usual. What was unthinkable only yesterday we now take in stride, and we wait for that moment when things really have gone too far this time, when the fever breaks and things will revert to normal.

But that moment probably won’t come. Things have gone too far too many times already. Hoping for better is still the right attitude, but only as long as we prepare for the worst.

If it looks like they're destroying the whole East Wing, it's because they are, per Newsweek report on the plan. www.newsweek.com/map-images-s...

My signs from yesterday, in Brooklyn, NY:

Large yellow protest sign with 4 phrases and 4 images. 1. "No KINGS!" above image of king of spades card with Trump's face; 2. "No JOKERS!' above image of joker card with Vance's face; 3. "No JERKS!" above image of jack of spades card with Miller"s face; 4. "QUEENS are okay!" above image of queen of hearts card with face of RuPaul in drag.

Large yellow sign with the words, "The PEOPLE have the POWER to DERAIL AUTHORITARIANS!" Along the bottom, image of Trump, laughing, and Satan, both from South Park, riding a toy wooden train on wooden track, blocked by three toy Lincoln Logs logs, and confronted by a dog standing super-hero style, wearing a cape and a shirt that reads, "PEOPLE POWER!"

Today in my pro-joy regimen: sat with my meditation group; ended by listening to Stevie Wonder's HB'day song for MLK. Heard HCRichardson's pre-inauguration talk. Watched Hamlet on PBS, then started watching Wolf Hall. Meanwhile painted 2 small watercolors. Tonight, "The Brutalist." My joy is mine.
