A stone wall withe the words “Fuck ICE” in chalk.

[Even though people were proudly engaged in public protest, I'm choosing to obscure their faces in these public posts readily accessible via the Internet.]

A line of people standing along a sidewalk. One holds a large sign reading "THE ONLY GOOD ICE IS CRUSHED". Most people's faces are obscured with black discs.

A crown of protesters. Visible above them, a banner on a staff reads "Smash the Oligarchy" in a stylized script. Protesters' faces are obscured with black discs.

Thoughtful and Fluorescent

Protesters seen from behind. One, off to the side, wears a bedazzled red white and blue top hat and carries a small US flag. Closer, and filling much of the frame, someone holds hand-lettered signs on fluorescent card stock (one orange, one yellowish). One reads "It is not possible for any thinking person to live in such a society as our own without wanting to change it –George Orwell" and the other "If you see injustice and say nothing, you have taken the side of the oppressor. –Desmond Tutu".

We see a crowd of protesters with two signs especially prominant above them. One reads "Down With the Moronarchy" (all in black type except for "Moron" in red). A larger one reads "UPHOLD the RULE of LAW no kings 10/18/25". Protesters' faces are obscured with black discs.

A group of protesters seen from the back. Visible above them are signs reading "RESPECT EXISTEN", "NO KINGS", "JUSTICE FREEDOM" inside a heart, "LOVE AMERICA DUMP TRUMP" and a US flag on a pole.

Many protesters seen from behind. We see them holding up US flags and signs. The largest, most visible sign - nearly filling the upper-right quarter of the frame - shows images of Donald Trump, Javier Milei, and Scott Bessent. There are dollar signs behind them and text running over their chests reading "DON'T CRY FOR ME ARGENTINA". Some protesters' faces are obscured with black discs.

In a crowd of people holding protest signs, we see one which reads: "My favorite season is the Fall of Fascism"

Thank you for your service, canine comrade.

A dog wearing a sign which reads "I BITE FASCISTS" looks straight into the camera.

Yunnan at South of the Clouds in Jersey City. Bright, clean, efficient.

Steamed pot chicken was fantastic. My late obsession is a good chicken broth — not easy to make, not easy to find. This one was good.

Fantastic Yunnan style pork ribs with mint and great crispy lotus fries.

Honestly, we were here to cross the bridge but somehow that was underwhelming: both, broth and fixings — the entire bowl felt bare and bland with everything already mixed in. I need to read upon this classic and try it myself at home and somewhere in Flushing.

A note on the ordering process. No paper menu — QR code instead. I get it. You punch the order into your phone. Really? Ok. Human interaction can be helpful. But ok. To complete the order, you’re required to enter your phone number. What? Why? The chef’s going to call and ask about food allergies, right?

We stopped here, waved our server, and he reluctantly entered our order into his hand held device. Without our phone number.

We kind of felt old and grumpy but in a few minutes a younger group settled at the table next to us. Not only they refused to give their phone numbers, they also requested a paper menu. We relaxed. But then, they asked for forks.🥴🫣😆

Welp. Steve Fulop is leaving #JerseyCity. Heading the Partnership for New York City is a choice assignment, but it means moving into NYC and out of the city he helped grow (for better or worse).

Ugh, there is a Jack Ciattarelli event at Rumba Cubana in #JerseyCity 🤢 🤮

👀 Looks like some folks are set up to protest it. 💪

I love Halloween in my city. Poor people sure know how to decorate for the season. Kinda like the rich people in the suburbs decorate during Christmas.

No one has guessed it yet, but it definitely caught people's attention. 😃 #art #artSky #fineArt #artFair #guessingGame #artBooth #JerseyCity #NewJersey

A collage of three photos from an art booth. The top left shows a person in a red shirt viewing a display of landscape paintings under a sign reading “Everything Hand-Painted.” The top right close-up shows a framed painting of a parking lot at sunset with a sign that says “FREE if you can guess where…” The bottom image gives a detailed view of the same painting—an urban sunset scene with silhouetted trees, glowing sky, cars, and a “STOP” marking on the pavement.

They got good stickers for this #JerseyCity mayoral race

McGreevey’s answers also cemented my opposition to him. He doesn’t support ADUs?! #JerseyCity

Better Blocks has questionnaire responses from the Jersey City candidates for mayor. Basically just confirms my priors but good to see candidates like Solomon and O’Dea put some substance into their answers. https://betterblocksnj.org/blog/ #JerseyCity

OMG I just saw a TELEVISION commercial for Alexander Hamilton, who is running for a #JerseyCity COUNCIL seat! It was filled with stock images that definitely were NOT of Jersey City, so, while I didn't get who funded the spot, they definitely DO NOT go here. 😂

JERSEY CITY'S "FRENCH ART MUSEUM" GOT A SHOUTOUT IN THE NJ LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR'S DEBATE! 🤣🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 THANKS, FULOP!!! #JerseyCity

Oh, great. Netflix is going to be filming in my neighborhood in two weeks. They say which day they will be filming, but what they don't tell you is that they will put up no parking signs for the day before AND the day after, so three days, in effect. Bastiges. #JerseyCity
