Not
A Thousand Words, But Worth It
June 17, 2025
Please indulge us in
another callback to Saturday's No Kings Day protests. The numbers are in and there
were upwards of five million American patriots – not the kind that try to
violently invalidate an election or literally shit all over democracy – actual patriots
trying to rescue that same democracy in the streets all over America. While Don the Usurper
shamelessly used the military as props for a few thousand listless losers in
DC, where Trump exclaimed, "Let them eat tanks."
There are always chants of some sort at
protests. Over the years, and especially during the painfully dark, uniquely perilous Trump years
I’ve heard (and occasionally led) my share. Call-and-answers like “Whose
streets? Our streets!” or “Hey, hey, ho ho, Donald Trump has got to go” or “No
Justice, No Peace” or a recent favorite with us at Paying Attention – the succinct
yet satisfying, if not particularly innovative, but nonetheless timeless “Fuck
Trump!”
The focus of this missive however is the call
and answer:
Tell
us what democracy looks like!
This is what democracy looks
like!
This Is What Democracy Looks Like
Boise, Idaho
This Is What Hypocrisy
Looks Like (Not To Mention Pathetic)
Washington, DC – War king Stiff (final tally, too few to mention)
This has been your Paying Attention™ Pic Of The Day.
