I protest...
1) The obscene weather, with ridonkulous humidity and high temps pushing the heat index past 100 degrees.
2) The fact that it has to be said OUT LOUD that separating families and putting kids in cages is bad. This should be a commonly understood truth. THIS SHOULD BE OBVIOUS.
3) Needing to demonstrate about #2 outside during the stranglehold of #1. (My sign: "Shame on the Kidnapper-in-Chief! Keep families together!")
4) Having my empathy button mashed so hard, and my civic pride overwhelmed at the hundreds of people around me, that my face kept leaking in public. Mild benefit of #1: at least I was already flushed and sweaty.
5) Being accosted by an older white dude-bro who smugly informed me and my friend that it was pointless to protest because the USA is a corporation now. (We noped right out of the "conversation" with His Smugness when he tried to label Obama as a communist. UGH.)
I am home and inside now, luxuriating in my AC, feeling about as solid as a boiled noodle, but pondering going back out to complete some more Pokemon Go tasks and do the grocery shopping.
...In a while. Maybe.

(BTW, If you see a picture of my sign can you link it to me? I didn't think to get a picture that day. I still have the sign but I'd like one from that day. All the pictures so far either aren't of my corner or were apparently the short time I was elsewhere, since I can see the person I was next to and not my sign). I figure if I can find a picture with my sign I can find me (or my hands at least), much easier than trying to find me directly!

The June 30th at 3:30 post has a lot of photos in the comments. (Sorry, I can't figure out how to link to a specific post in the discussion rather than all of them).
That's what I've found so far.
