For contrast, this sign. Clear message. No pandering. Immediately claims the moral high ground and goes from there.

A sign with a painting of President Trump that reads, "Your grocery price isn't more important than my hard-working immigrant mom!"
"LET US BE KIDS"
"Fuck the Oligarchy"
"FUK TRUMP"

Last thing: Lots of yesterday's signs were aimed at Trump voters, with rhetorically mixes results. Egg prices high? Cool, common ground! Constitution needs protecting? Sure, reclaim the talking point! Musk and Trump = dangerous immigrants and felons? Behold, the #resistance eats it's own tail.

A sign with an American flag captioned, "SOLD!!! To unelected President Musk $288 million," followed by a glued-on carton of eggs labeled "EGGS: $8.99"

Sign with a photo of Elon Musk captioned, "An immigrant is stealing your money"

And these. Maybe Trump is a king; maybe Trump is a puppet. Either way, the signs imply, not a good President's Day.

A woman holds a sign with a collage of Elon Musk holding the puppet strings for a President Trump marionette.

A sign that says "No kings in the U.S.A."

They do, however, like the constitution, "our American way of life", and bodily autonomy.

A sign that reads "We the people defend the constitution."

A sign reading, "Defend our American way of life!"

A person holding a sign that reads, "I'm 17 and I want to still have reproductive freedoms at 18"

A sign in the foreground says "Erase fascism, embrace Transgender rights!" A sign in the background reads, "Stop the grab: equal rights, women's bodies, federal workers, consumer protection"

And in another news, people here do NOT like Musk.

A sign that reads,
"MUSK: A GLAND, USUALLY AN ANAGLAND, PRESENT IN MANY BILLIONAIRES, THAT SECRETES AN OILY AND TOXIC MUSK.
A SUBSTANCE WKTH A PENETRATING ODOR."

That last sign was "Regan as defender of democratic ideals." Here's Regan again, but this sign, I'm told, is about Regan's neoliberalism, which started the widening gap between rich and poor that now threatens those ideals.
