A close up photograph of a painted mask where the mask is predominantly covered in black paint but has a gradient from black to blue to white along the edges of the mask. There is also a sparse smattering of white paint à la Jackson Pollack.

Two women extend their middle fingers in a joint “fuck you” to protestors rallying against the recent shootings of citizens in Minneapolis by ICE agents. While four hundred supporters showed up, a couple of people had derision to offer instead.

It’s MLK Day again. A lot has happened in a year. A lot is happening right now, especially if you’re in Minnesota. Here in Prescott, I was a bit nervous to see if there’d be a dip in the attendance or spirit from the prior year. I got to the Prescott College Welcome Center parking lot a little early and didn’t see a lot of people. Within 20 minutes though, the place was packed. Manuel Lucero spoke and smudged the crowd with sage. The Bucket List popped out an Afro-Brazilian warm up of beats to set the pace of the march. The crowd started their way down Grove towards Gurley. Prescott PD were polite and organized, and while it was cold enough to dawn winter gear, the sun chased that chill away in no time. The march proceeded down Gurley and around Courthouse Square, and after a brief pause to pull everyone together, the march wound its way back up to the Prescott United Methodist Church for a celebration of the day complete with hot chocolate, music, speeches and any attempt to exercise the act of connection between people.

It was worth it to go, if for any other reason than we as citizens still have the right to hold events like these without fear of retribution or persecution. Unlike years before and all the variety of other marches and protests, there’s a nagging feeling that these events might become harder to sanction in the near future, at least not without having to kiss a ring or two. Still, events like today, and past recent protests and marches, fill one with hope that the binary narrative so many unwilling-to-think people have been suckered into is not nearly as pronounced as it might seem in outrage media. Let’s hope it stays that way and grows. Looking forward to next year

A group of people sit on the opposite bank of a dry creek bed separating the Flagstaff City Hall lawn where rally goers continued to rally at the No Kings rally. October 18, 2025.

This image just about summed up the mood of the rally yesterday. Paradoxically, it was both serious and light-hearted at the same time. Speaking strictly for myself, there was a huge sense of relief being here with as many people that showed up. It was a break from the tedious daily stream of news highlighting the breaking down of civility in the function of federal government and the social ramifications that come with it. It helped quell the sense of isolation and helplessness that seems pervasive when trying to keep up with all the stupidity.

At the No Kings rally in Flagstaff Arizona, hazard cones with messages stating, “Keep your cool. Hecklers want a reaction - don’t give it to them. Stay Peaceful, stay strong.” October 18, 2025.

Possibly the best advice that could be given for the day in terms of how to deal with agitators looking to rationalize their own delusions as to who the “opposition” really is. Thankfully and almost predictably, no one showed up to give it a try.

An inflatable Cartman costume worn my a rally goer walked menacing through the crowd at the No Kings rally in Flagstaff, Arizona. October 18, 2025

Having photographed multiple protests where people showed up representing Antifa in black garb and face coverings, I love the fact that people protesting the federal administration’s blatant disregard for human decency towards its own population have twisted the administration’s perversion of its so-called “anti-American” stereotype on its head. While there was a noticeable lack of frogs (presumably due to supply chain issues), people made up for it in terms of other inflatables. I mean, the question needs begging after, “who’s going to pepper spray/teargas [insert inflatable character here], and not feel like a total asshole?”

Someone in an inflatable frog costume holds up a sign stating, “Frogs Together Strong,” at the No Kings rally in Flagstaff, Arizona. October 18, 2025

There were more inflatable T Rex costumes at this rally than frogs even though the frog theme seems to be “the thing” in places like Portland and Chicago over the last several weeks. I’m particularly attached to the frog fashion as it seems to be reappropriating the hapless amphibian from extreme right wingers who, during Trump’s first administration, used it a la 4chan as a mascot for their stupidity.

Someone in a StayPuff Marshmallow inflatable holds up a sign saying, “Fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me!” at the No Kings rally in Flagstaff Arizona. October 18, 2025.

Love the nod to RATM here seen through the fictional apocalyptic lens of Ghostbusters. Before coming to the rally today, I read a quick AP article that stated that people opposed to the No Kings day, were calling them “Hate America” rallies. It’s so much easier to make a blanket statement that disagreement and criticism of the government is the exact same thing as “hating” the country, when the opposite holds more sway.

The crowd at the rally wasn’t solely swaths of retired free speech hippies, although that demographic did make a showing. Many people felt the need to bring their children to not only witness the rally, but to participate, if the children so chose.

A woman with inflatable American flag wings, American flag sunglasses, and two small American flags being held up behind her, holds up a sign saying, “Stop Corruption! You’re Fired! October 18, 2025, Flagstaff Arizona.

A common theme in this particular rally, was the amount of American symbolism (flags, “We The People” calligraphy, etc.) on display. Not that it hasn’t been present at previous rallies and/or protests, but the frequency seems to be increasing in what feels like an attempt to steal back from right wing “conservatives” what the right wing constantly befouls by draping reactionary politics in said symbolism in an attempt to justify their wingnut fear-based beliefs.

An older man wearing a t-shirt with the motto, “Same Shit, Different Hats,” smiles while holding a sign at the No Kings rally in Flagstaff, Arizona. October 18, 2025

The beautiful thing in this picture is the hat the military veteran is wearing, proclaiming his status as a veteran. He wasn’t the only veteran at the rally. One of the more heartening aspects of this rally was the fact that people who wouldn’t normally attend a rally like this, were out in force and ready and willing to speak their minds.

A man holds up a sign stating, “Christian Nationalism is the American Taliban! Jesus wasn’t white!” At the No Kings rally in Flagstaff Arizona. October 18, 2025.

The sign here seem to be asking for provocation from anyone opposed to the reasoning for the No Kings rally. Noteworthy was the complete absence of opposing view points to provoke. Sure, it’s the university town of Flagstaff, which isn’t exactly Trump country, but neither is it Portland Oregon. There was a thin line of protestors across Route 66 from the main lawn of City Hall, and while a quick glance might make it seem like a separation of factions, look a little harder and longer, and you’d find the thin line to also be No Kings supporters.

A woman holds up a sign stating “Karma Is A Bitch (it’s coming)” while rallying in front of the Flagstaff, Arizona City Hall. October 18, 2025

The rally started later than other No Kings rallies around the state, but the atmosphere was no later or less than what I’ve seen in images and video from other rallies. In short, the crowd was there to celebrate their communal contempt for the current federal administration and its behavior. One of the more ironic sights at the rally was the handful of local police stationed at the entrance of the city hall, the irony being the absence of protesters whose political leanings would actually constitute a threat to the integrity of the government building being “defended.”

Ok, it’s #Stunday and I’m going to make this Stunday a bit #ridiculous. That said, it was a ridiculous sight to see in #Moab #Utah. And I might as well also include it with #SelfieSunday #Photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #Rainbow #Desert #Nature

A color photograph of a selfie shadow stretched out in the late afternoon sun over the a plain and mountains just outside Moab, Utah. The sky has storm clouds and a full rainbow.

One more #BlueskyArtShow submission for the #Silhouette theme? Why not? #Photography #PhotographersOfBkuesky #Color #ShallowDepthOfField #Nature

The silhouette of a rose leaf and its stem are the only sharp objects in a photo of said leaf living under a porch overhang. It’s daytime with blue sky’s and yellow, semi translucent material used for the overhang.

Happy #Saturday good people of Bluesky. It’s the #BlueskyArtShow and the theme of the week is … #Silhouette! #Photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #Color #statue

The back and upper half of the “rough rider” statue on the north end of Courthouse Square in downtown Prescott, Arizona. The perspective is such that branches of various trees encircle the statue.
