Thursday, on the eve of the inauguration, this group of protesters marched on the streets of WDC. The police largely expedited the safe movement of this group through the streets.
We at the We're Here group are protesting today for the Protests, Political Art, Democracy, Social Change group, I'm taking my protests for a holiday, back in a few days.
At the official opening of Vancouver’s Trump International Hotel and Tower. There were deliberate no-shows from some local politicians and community leaders.
Despite what the maps shows, the tower is on Georgia Street near Bute, not Robson Street, Vancouver, BC.

Op facebook is een groeiende groep mensen zich aan verzamelen die ontevreden is over het Nederland van nu.
Die groep noemt zich "Protest 1.000.000 Nederlanders".
Zaterdag, 8 november, is er een grote zorgdemonstratie op het Plein. We zullen ongetwijfeld nog meer van deze groep horen. Deed mij een beetje denken aan de beginfase van de occupybeweging.
I looked up at my dolly shelf, and this is what I saw. Apparently, Nico found out that Tuesday may be leaving Vegas soon, and is none too pleased with me about it.
I spotted this guy on my walk around London on February 28th, 2020.
I've never attended a protest. My life and right to exist have never been threatened by the powers that be. If there was a checklist of privileges, I'd be able to tick almost every box. White, male, able-bodied, heterosexual, English-speaking, born in Canada, born into an upper-middle-class family, etc. But more and more, I've come to realize the need to protest.
To paraphrase Barack Obama, progress isn't always straightforward. Sometimes we take a giant leap backward for every few paces forward. In America right now, the Supreme Court has decided to strike down Roe vs. Wade, because they believe that women are second-class citizens.
They believe that women are second-class citizens.

In a year that's already been hard to believe (Omicron shattering records; Putin invading Ukraine; horrible inflation), Republicans have gained a victory in trying to bring America back to the stone age. And you know what? They'll succeed. They've already succeeded in disenfranchising Black people in parts of the South of their voting rights...rights that they only had for a handful of decades. They've been gerrymandering for a while. They are taking a bit-by-bit approach to take away the rights of people they don't like, rather than doing it in one big, obvious move, and that is what the Nazis did to the Jews in the years leading up to the Holocaust. It wasn't a matter of throwing open the doors to Auschwitz on opening day and telling the Jews to quit their jobs and get on the trains. The Jews had been stripped of their rights, resources, and dignity for years leading up to that point. They were deliberately weakened. Just like the Republicans are trying to do to everyone who isn't a rich white man.
It all begs the question of who the enemy is. More and more, I'm seeing that it's not so much a fixed category of people who are the enemy. It's people in power who abuse it to deliberately cause harm to segments of the population (Hitler), or who want to enrich themselves at the expense of the masses (Trump) and who want to hold onto that power forever (Putin). Authoritarians. And inconveniently, such people have historically landed all over the political spectrum.
The protestor in this picture wants to ban disposable plastics. While I think disposable plastics have some uses that (thus far) haven't been satisfactorily (I said satisfactorily) replaced by alternatives (i.e., for sanitary purposes), I do think massively reducing the amount of plastic that gets produced -- by a combination of less demand and more regulation -- is a good thing for our environment. And the environment is more important than jobs.

Schoolkids protest. Apparantly they organized themselves through MSN. Good enough for a headline. If they had organized it by phone it would not have been. The result was protest in quite a number of different cities around the country.
Having a bit of a time figuring out focusing and tilt shifting and getting the results I'm envisioning. Focus first then tilt? Tilt then focus? Overexpose when tilting? Maybe not shoot at 2.8? And what the hell is the Scheimpflug Principle anyways?
Either way my mind goes wonky or a kid moves or someone starts protesting.
Maybe i just need to photograph more things that don't complain. And wear my glasses when I focus. And get over this cold.
Protests took place in Rochdale on Saturday 22 July 2017.
The Force worked to ensure the events took place safely and ensuring the right to protest while minimising any disruption to the local community.
Chief Superintendent Neil Evans, Borough Commander, said: “This has been a challenging day with hundreds of people attending Rochdale town centre for the protest.
“I understand that these events are very emotive and that tensions may run high when there are polarised views and counter-protests.
“However, we have worked jointly with Rochdale Council and the community to ensure the most effective way to facilitate and manage this protest in a balanced and safe manner.
“This has very much been a community focused operation aimed at reducing the impact of the protest on the normal lives of people in Rochdale.
“I would like also like to thank members of the community who have acted as mediators and helped the smooth running of today’s event.
“In order to ensure we could deliver a safe operation we deployed large numbers of police which meant another busy weekend for officers, who have worked long hours in challenging circumstances to look after our communities.
“It was pleasing to see that this protest did not stop the people of Rochdale from going about their normal activities.”
