otesters line the sidewalk of a sunny small-town street in Ferndale, CA during the March 29, 2026 "Hands Off" day of action. The most prominent sign yellow with a crossed-out crown reads "NO THRONES NO CROWNS NO KINGS." Victorian homes and blue sky visible in the background.

My tiny #northerncalifornia Victorian ranch town #ferndaleca in #humboldtcounty is a bit of a culture war hot spot. Here was our #nokings protest. Looks small but is huge for a town with Ferndale's reputation. #handsoff #handsoff2026 #democracy

Beautiful day to stand with the community.

Huge turnout for the area. My pics don't do it justice.

Keening twice for just 15 or 20 minutes was surprisingly exhausting. I don’t know how those old Irish crones could wail non-stop for several hours at wakes in the auld sod.shrug 🤷🏻
