I missed the #NoKingsDay demonstrations yesterday, but I was so pleased to see these crowds at an intersection on my way to visit the husband in the hospital yesterday!

(Maybe perhaps even more pleased because this is the wealthy part of town we call "Upper Caucasia").

Americans are told the Founders were opposed to taxation without representation but they built a country that disenfranchised almost everyone. On #ThisDayInHistory in 1961 the 23rd Amendment was ratified, letting residents of #WashingtonDC vote in presidential elections at least.
