And this...

Let’s have a few more photos from Saturday’s Women’s March on Washington. Because some of these signs—and all of these men and women—are just da bomb.

Once more—the scene on Seventh Street:


Some of the observers around the National Archives:


(Focus in on that sign in the center.)

Representatives of Alexandria, Virginia:


One of the many shout-outs to the Ladies of SCOTUS:


And a lady of a different sort:


And a few more:


Sunday, on my way back from an appointment I stopped off at NKD Pizza in Arlington to get lunch/dinner (pizza goes a long way in my house). I was trawling through SoMe accounts of the march and didn’t hear when the pizza-maker with a possibly Israeli accent called me (I was one of three people in the place). When I finally woke up and took the box, he asked me if I’d been at the march.

I don’t think he could have seen what I was looking at on my 5” smartphone screen, so maybe it was the Women in Military Service Memorial shirt I was wearing. Or possibly it was just a shot in the dark. But I said I had indeed marched. So had he.

“People think it was only for women,” he said. “But I marched, too.”

“Good for you. Women’s rights are everyone’s rights,” I replied. I did not add, “Power to the people.” But I may begin to add that to my conversations.

Because that is what this is about: who's going to hold the power in this form of government.
