Also my wife's sign was good.
A very attractive woman (full disclosure: this is the author's wife, but it doesn't make that statement any less true) stands in front of the Hawthorne Bridge in Portland wearing a sign that says "No Kings (Except Maybe For Aragorn)"

Tonight we ventured into #WarRavagedPortland. We found refuge with one of the local militias, the "Timbers Army", holed up in a soccer stadium.
Photo taken during a War Ravaged Portland Timbers soccer game on Saturday September 27 2025. The picture shows the stands of a packed Providence Park, the cheering crowd obviously not affected by Trump's bullshit in the least.
