We started the day by walking over to Central and voting, then we caught a bus to the “No Kings” rally downtown. We found over 40,000 Americans who love their country marching in the streets to express their concern. My 10-18-25 postcard is the Statue of Liberty, rendered in color, tears streaking her face beneath the words “No Kings.” The contrast between the black-and-white crowd and the centerpiece underscores the clash between power and principle, between silence and the cry for freedom. It’s a portrait of democracy finding its voice, imperfect, defiant, and alive.
