You may have noticed that there were no messages posted on the Cleveland Park Listserv between 7:55am and 2:52 this afternoon. That's because there was no one at the moderator's desk. I metroed early this morning to the Arlington Cemetary Metro stop, where my friend and I met up with the members of the Washington Art Group performance ensemble, who came dressed up as Marie Antoinette and her courtiers -- two of whom were bearing exquisitely decorated cherry-topped cakes (made of exquisitely un-cake-like Styrofoam).
My friend was there to photograph the group, who, at the end of the march across Memorial Bridge and past the Lincoln Reflecting Pool, found a gravel clearing near Constitution Gardens, where they put on an 18th Century French dance to the tune of "Royals," and gave interviews to WTOP News and other local, national, and international news outlets.

All along the route, they handed out free buttons of Trump as the notoriously uncaring queen .... even if she never actually said her most-frequently attributed quote: "Let them eat cake."

Here's the aerial news photo showing the big turnout for the NO KINGS March on Memorial Bridge -- one of dozens of such marches and rallies in the DC Metro area -- and one of about 3,000 across the US.

| This is photo #8 of 9 of WTOP news photos in their "Share This Gallery" series. |
I took many more photos, some of which I have uploaded to Listserv's photo album on rallies and marches, available HERE. I may upload even more tomorrow. (Too tired to keep at it tonight!)
The Listserv's PHOTO albums are open to all members to contribute their photos. If you took some great shots at NO KINGS DAY today, by all means, upload them to the RALLIES photo album.
You can find the upload instructions at Message #224008.
