Chasing varmints across the foothills of the Canadian Rockies, "Chip of the Flying U", 1926. Dir. Lynn Reynolds.

Universal cameramen were thrilled with the natural light:
"They told us there was good camera light in Alberta, wow, boy! They didn’t tell half of it."

Pritzker: Throughout history we've learned that tyranny doesn't arrive with dramatic proclamations. Most times it comes quietly wrapped in the language of law and order, with fingers pointed at someone who doesn't look like you, promising safety while demanding that we sacrifice our neighbors.

Organizers have reported 7 million attendees at the No Kings events and we’re happy to confirm 7 million and counting! More events are still happening across the country today, so we’ll need additional time to fully certify the final numbers.

Provincetown has a year-round population of 3600.

I'm guessing there were at least 1000 at No Kings today.

Sorry I managed not to get the people in the inflatable lobster suits!
