The crowd at Five Corners had a lot of issues with the present regime. Trump 2.0 offers a wide spectrum of harms to be called out.
This family came out to express historic May Day issues. May Day in the United States is descended from Chicago's 1886 Haymarket Market demonstration where cops violently broke up a protesting crowd and the emerging socialist/labor movement called for a general strike. Contemporary oligarchs may drive us there one day.
Generalized protest of the Trump regime's crimes was common.
What could be more straight forward?
So was the shout out to horrors past.
This morning, Heather Cox Richardson quotes Kamala Harris, once again finding her voice:
She urged the audience to “gear up for the hard work ahead, and please, always remember, this country is ours. It doesn't belong to whoever is in the White House. It belongs to you. It belongs to us. It belongs to ‘We, the People.’”
Vineyard folks have not forgotten.

So happy to see this! A rally or protest happens, and is gone in an hour or so. Photos and descriptions like yours let the event reverberate long afterwards, and who knows what shores the ripples may reach?
Thank you so much for documenting islanders and visitors standing up against they tyranny of the Trump regime.
Thanks for this. It's a shame that neither island paper didn't even mention the protest
