I spent about 45 minutes walking around among a wealth of warm, kind, caring people having conversations about how to improve racial relations, fix the police problem, making art—not a gun, not a threat, it’s Seattle. Lots of bicycles. People with strollers and babies. Music. A hot dog truck! Every damn body wearing a mask and using hand sanitizer.

It was WONDERFUL. It’s not angry. It’s not punitive. They’re trying to respect businesses, most of which were closed due to COVID anyway, but no one is intimidating anyone.

I couldn’t be more proud.

Merci beaucoup!

[herding cats]

9. Yay! Great work!!

I'm usually mobile so I hold my finger on the image I uploaded and the select "copy" then paste here. I wasn't sure how to explain it otherwise (I'm the WORST teacher! Lol!) but you managed to figure out my horrible lesson!

I adore the chalk art! Thank you so much for sharing.

[nolabear]

11. Yeah I had a conversation with a couple of young folks re that art

They were trying out alternate names to chalk in, but CHAZ is now famous.

10. Mahalo, They're Awesome!

[nolabear]

12. It was so sweet. I'm sorry I missed getting the park.

There were just people and bicycles spread out in the sun, no trash, just a feeling of chilling but with purpose.

15. You describe it so well.. & a Sunny Day in Seattle!

5. There is a commong saying, but I forget how it goes

It has horses eating each other perhaps to represent mayhem .

I gather that was not happening there !

[nolabear]

[panader0]

[mountain grammy]

[NBachers]

17. This is where trump wants to rain Hellfire missiles.

[nolabear]

18. He wants to destroy the best in us.

[barbtries]

19. well done.

Peace is like a breath of fresh air.

20. Anyone on the left who is attacking anarchists should be ashamed of themselves

American progressivism was sustained by anarchists, period. There would be no American left without the work and sacrifice of American anarchism over 100 years.

Get your heads out of your asses.

[Wounded Bear]

21. Yeah, how do you get a Visa for there?

Asking for a friend.

[BrightKnight]

22. The pictures show City workers and chalk hearts on the street

It doesn’t really look like a situation for tanks and automatic weapons with depleted uranium rounds.

[Crunchy Frog]

23. Trump would like to turn it into Tiananmen Square.

[nolabear]

24. Or Tinyman Square as people are saying.
