Sign at London rally: I’m on faux-king vacation and still found time to hate fascism.

Signs of fascism: at the London protest, Human Rights Watch organized a series of placards with signs of fascism. Black signs, white letters, with content like using secret police, attacking immigrants, voter suppression, etc.

Protest signs in London. “I want my beautiful country back.” And a small one with a maple leaf that says “Hands off Canada.”

In London on vacation, so have come to the small No Tyrants protest at the American Embassy. Hadn’t started yet, so the crowd could grow.

People gathering for No Tyrants protest at the American Embassy in London. Very modern, and huge, embassy building in the background.

500 or so energized people turned out for an Indivisible rally at First Parish Church in Concord, MA, this morning, featuring Leah Greenberg, local leaders, & enthusiastic musicians. A few photos. @maddow.msnbc.com

View of the steps of the First Parish Church in Concord, MA, with musicians singing a protest song & raising signs to support freedom of religion, speech, petition, the press. Hanging between the white columns of the church are banners that say "Black Lives Matter" and "We Believe in Democracy," plus a Pride flag.

General crowd photo with one big sign that says "No Kings, No Fascists, No Tyrants, No Nazis."

And a few more pictures from DC.

Woman holding yellow sign with image of Smoky Bear wearing a hat that says "Truth" and surrounded by flames. Text says "Only you can prevent fascist liars."

Person dressed as twice life-sized Musk giving the Nazi salute and the DT thumbs up. Huge Elon head with sunglasses and DOGE hat.

Four women in red Handmaid's robes holding signs in front of Washington Monument. 1. Trump's final four bracket, with MAGA in the middle: lies, hate, ego, ableism. 2. To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize. Voltaire. 3. Make America think again! 4. Corporations pay tax rate lower than me but have better representation.

Woman holding sign with Putin cradling a crying Trump baby in diapers (both are photos, rather than a drawing). The sign is a "puppet": when she pulls the string, Putin feeds DT a pacifier. The text above says "One more thing you suck at."

Pictures from DC: 24-hr day RT from Boston via bus. Tired, but worth it! Felt almost festive: had the vibe of diverse people coming together to form a supportive community. Also, it was Sikh National / Baisakhi Day, so there was a march on Constitution Ave promoting a Sikh homeland called Khalistan.

Cherry trees in full bloom frame the Washington Monument in the background.

First sign I photographed, and it made me cry. Teenager holds sign saying "Don't fire my dad." The word DOGE in black is crossed out in red.

Sign with the heading "We the People" in script, plus hand lettering in blue that says "They want Germany 1936...let's give them France 1789." Person holding the sign is wearing a t-shirt that says "people power."

Black sign board with applied letters that says "The only thing easier to buy in the USA than guns is a Republican senator."

Good turnout with high energy for #StandupforScience in Boston. Sharing two fun signs: an addition to the periodic table and a case for investing in parasite research. The crowd was younger & more diverse than the 50501 rallies & included calls for our leading universities & hospitals to speak up.

Black and white sign made to look like an element in the periodic table. Has the number 47 in upper right corner. The letters Wtf are the symbol, and the explanation is "The Element of Outraged Disbelief."

A sign with a caricature of RFK Jr. and text that reads "RFK Jr. A walking PSA for funding parasite research."

My contribution for WWD: female and infant Tibetan macaques at Mt. Emei in Sichuan province, China. They are in their natural habitat, but line the steps to the summit and temple to get handouts from the visitors--and to sit for tourists' photos.

This Pale-Mandibled Aracari was solo and behaving when spotted near our lodge in Ecuador. I couldn't believe I actually got the photo, since the bird was perched at the far edge of the zoom range. Not bad for a Lumix FZ150!
