Hands Off! JOYCE VANCE, CIVIL DISCOURSE, APR 05, 2025

Some of my favorite signs were simple and elegant in expressing their message, like this one.

My favorite sign was carried by some close friends. I feel the same way when I think about my Grandfather.

It was a crowd full of angry people. We are southerners, so we were polite about it as we visited with neighbors and made new friends, but the anger was palpable.

If Donald Trump thinks we’re going back quietly, he’s wrong.

I ran into not one, but two people wearing the fabulous re-SIS-tence tee-shirts from the Sisters in Law podcast.

There were some seriously artistic people in the crowd.

It was a gorgeous day here and people enjoyed themselves, but it was also deadly serious.

Friends tagged in from across the country.

Americans understand what’s at stake.

And, from Chattanooga.
