Signage

I was disappointed to see this photograph featured in The Guardian coverage of yesterday’s No Kings events. Notice the credit line on the big banner: Party for Socialism & Liberation. And notice the black and yellow PSL signs scattered through the crowd.

I’ll quote from a post I wrote before last October’s No Kings Day: “If the PSL’s politics are your politics, by all means carry a PSL sign on No Kings Day. But you won’t be standing for democracy and freedom in doing so.” Not when the PSL supports the Communist Party of China and the Workers’ Party of North Korea and blames NATO and the United States for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

I was happy to see no PSL signs at our small town’s No Kings event. Our handful of (naive) PSL-affiliated college students must have stayed, or gone, home.
