Unfortunately, SES can limit our perspective. A co-worker who backpacked across Europe in his late 50s and 60s alone, purchased a home for his adult son who never entered the house, and yet he was a strong supporter of the evil one. Our last words were respectful and final. Sad.
Your banners are great!!! Art can transcend barriers, like music, and both can bring people together. Breaking bread is a lost form of bonding. Commedia dell'arte is a perfect expression, rich with exaggeration and humor. Excellent!!
There were about 100 protesters here in Nice, including one guy that dressed up as Trump who did a skit with "Marco Rubio" kissing his ring. He was booed and the protestors shouted lock him up.
We traveled to Montpellier for the rally. It was hot, well attended, and uplifting. It was gratifying to feel and hear the solidarity. Montpellier is cool. We will be back!
There is something deeply moving about the aggressive care that went into the creation of these banners. They scream “this is fucked up” in the most demure way. If I was a kid and saw these banners, I would know this was the right side to be on.
Congratulations on making it to the NYT! Art IS the highest form of hope!
Your contributions to the protests in Austin are inspiring! Other Americans are doing a great job protesting, both in the US and abroad with increasing numbers joining daily. The creativity shown in signs and costumes is amazing and more dramatic than the French. Montpelier uses music, right up your alley. Now, about the people dropping out due to politics: My FB group is down nearly 2,000 people and I could not be happier because those people who left or I removed, were troublemakers and many turned out to be either bots or trolls. Good-bye and good riddance to those who do not understand just how political the residents of France are. They breathe it here. How can they not? as part of the EU and with so many neighbouring countries with different cultures and political views just a few hours drive away, there will always be discussions at the least. Two websites in the US post planned protests in cities around the globe if the organizers give them the details. https://indivisible.org and https://www.fiftyfifty.one Dems Abroad, sadly, does not approve of many of the protests but a subgroup, Activism from Abroad does. Various organisers in French cities are members and feed their plans into this group. Also, there is a Signal chat group that posts Actions, not for discussion, but for information only. You can request to join though you need to state a bit of info about yourself and why you want to join before being approved.

Thanks for being at the rally. I was there with some friends. And signs leftover from the previous rally, and some small American flags.
Good for you!

Thank you so much! That is exactly what I needed to hear.
