Fourth Day of the Zenith, 24th of Spring, 525 M.E. (Atlas): Scenes from a revolution - Hands Off! protests erupted across the country yesterday, including demonstrations here in Atlanta (pictures from various social media feeds).










Of course, it wasn't all Atlanta. Here's Boston:



Protests weren't limited to Atlanta and Boston. According to the press (or what's left of the press), there were over 1,000 similar events across the United Snakes, from Miami to Seattle, and San Diego to Bangor. There were at least four demonstrations in Alaska alone and I'm sure there were events in Hawai'i. There were event protests in Longon, Paris, Berlin, and elsewhere. Here's New York and D.C.: 




I'm embarrassed to admit I did not take part in any of the protests, not even here in Atlanta. Excuses, excuses: I find it hard to do anything before noon, even showing up in Piedmont Park to protest the Orange One. My car is still in the shop, and I didn't want to park the loaner car I'm driving somewhere where it might get vandalized (it's not  Tesla, but still). Overall, it seems like I've been on a streak of bad luck lately, and it felt like I'd be tempting the fates to engage in some civil disobedience/good trouble, however good the cause. So here's my part - publicizing the good actions of my fellow citizens in support of our common cause.
