Yesterday I went to the No Kings protest at Washington Park in Ithaca, New York. And of course I documented it!
Ithaca is a sanctuary city, meaning it limits its cooperation with federal immigration authorities. This often involves refusing to detain individuals for immigration reasons or restricting local police from asking about immigration status.
Ithaca was among the first to free an unlawfully detained individual before ICE could return. IPD does not stand with dictatorial rule.
And on June 14, 2025, instead of watching his pathetic parade, we, with MANY other cities across the country, had other plans.
In true Ithaca fashion, it was all love and good vibes. The people came together in the most beautiful way, peacefully protesting fascism. There were no police. We’re chill like that. ✌🏻
I guess what I really want to say here is… things are fųckıng insane right now. And if you’re feeling the dread, that’s okay. That means you’re SANE. You have a long list of very legitimate reasons to feel this way. And you’re not alone. Millions of us are with you, feeling it too. Use it. Stand strong with us in defending democracy. Get out there and vote at EVERY opportunity. Protest – that is your constitutional right. You are not powerless. You are stronger than you know.
