Also, given that Elon’s enabler is the Commander-In-Thief, and Benedict Donald’s grandfather came to this country without proper documentation, if he is serious about eliminating birthright citizenship, not only does he need to resign, but he needs to deport himself. I mean convicted felons need to be removed, right?
The singer calling herself "Aniiml" ( pronounced "Animal") performed at the SacPride 2019 fair (after the march). I recognized the musical and lyrical styles from somewhere. After a little while, I realized that I'd seen her a few years prior (2016), performing at the Whole Earth Festival as "Lila Rose," with a different band. I recognized her, initially, by her feet. Later, her forearm tattoos ("animal" and "heart") confirmed it.

A pretty large, well-organized (or, at least, color-coordinated) group of marchers that live on the march route
In belated honor of International Drag Day (by one day) — another post of Naysha Lopez from Season 8 of Ru Paul's Drag Race, and the 2013 Miss Continental.
Naysha (she/her) is the stage persona of Fabian Rodriguez (he/him).
Naysha is Fabulous!
In 2020, the Women's March made an extra effort to include Women of Color. Maybe this lack of inclusion was more of an issue elsewhere, but I definitely remember Latina and African American speakers in prior years.
That said, it definitely was MORE diverse this year, with Native American women leading the march, and drawing attention to the problem of missing and murdered indigenous women, and the lack of action by law enforcement to find these victims. The issue of violence against black trans women was also specifically addressed.
As always, there were great signs.
Stay tuned for more....
Michael being interviewed on TV.
And speaking of the media, I should give credit for the unexpected: when there was a problem with one of cords for the PA system, Fox TV came to the rescue with a loaner.

Central Park, Davis CA
Tony McDade was also Trans, and was murdered by Florida police, who, because of that State's laws can hide behind anonymity.

OMG! Look at the little cutie at 2 o’clock! Those ears….
After spending several hours in downtown Portland, without seeing any signs the “war zone,” I think I found it. The hugest bookstore I’ve ever seen would definitely piss off the Orange Cheetolini. Plus, it’s INDEPENDENT! And they sell books by authors who are queer, of color, or some other identity you cannot control, so it's part of the resistance to the right-wing-nut culture wars. Deal with it MAGA! MWAH HA HA HA!
The No Kings rally in Davis, CA.
4500+ people attended the rally and march.
The only violence that occurred was when Beth Bourne, a local anti-trans activist, body-slammed a volunteer peace-keeper.
Note the numerous American flags. Peaceful dissent is patriotic.
The kid with the “No Kings, No Jesters, No Child Molesters” sign was part of the crowd that later used their signs to block Beth’s ugly and provocative signs from view.
Not a bad showing for several hours notice. I suspect that this issue will get a lot of traction at the Woimen's March, taking place in just over a week.
Held at Central Park in Davis, beginnig at 16:30, local time. Supportive honks were heard from drivers-by.

As we are all too painfully aware, RGB did not, in fact, pull through… something we (LGBTQ+, women, people of color and other marginalized groups and allies) will feel for decades.
