The New York Times home page today. The announcement of the death of Dick Cheney next to a column describing the rise of neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes.

There were protests all over the United States for Labor Day. I joined one in Flint, Michigan. By my very informal estimate there were somewhere between 200 and 500 of us waving our signs for the passing cars and listening to them honk back to us. Solidarity.

No, it was a malicious choice by those six people and the many people who put them on the bench and who back them now.

Who are those backers, and what are they trying to accomplish? Mallory McMorrow has told us herself.

Here's my wife's.

My wife and I aren't able to go to a rally after all. An unavoidable conflict came up. But we made signs.

Here's mine.

Me about to kiss my dog.

ME:
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on...

MY DOG:
Some of those that work forces
Are the same that plant kisses...

Went to see Yes last night. Great show.
