#IndivisibleKC's #BridgeBrigade deployed to unfurl banners from the pedestrian bridge spanning Southwest Trafficway there.
Photo: Two banners hang in the protective chain link fencing that covers a pedestrian bridge over a busy city trafficway. One says simply in white all caps on a red background, "democracy." The other is a reminder for the upcoming demonstration "NO KINGS OCT 18 / PLAZA 2PM." Beneath the pedestrian bridge, a silver SUV passes right-to-left in the far lane and in the near lane there is a "cybertruck" (because irony is dead, but my snark lives on).

A couple dozen Kansas Citians gathered outside the offices of the local Fox News affiliate for an #IndivisibleKC #FoxTakedown today.

The takedown, from both ends:
Photo: Looking northward along the sidewalk on the west side of Southwest Trafficway: At left, Suzanne uses a megaphone and carries a sign to tell passing motorists that "Fox Lies" and "Fox is owned by billionaires." Further down the sidewalk, demonstrators display signs expressing similarly low opinions of the reporting routinely aired and streamed by the broadcast industry's biggest fan of the MAGA movement and its attendant militarism, corruption, deceit, etc. It should be noted, however, that many low-information (cough) people find it to be a very devoted reader of MAGA regime publicity releases and dependably unquestioning transmitter of unconstitutional presidential "executive orders" and "Truth Social" posts. Photo: Looking southward along the sidewalk on the west side of Southwest Trafficway: At right, Chelsea holds a sign reading "Fox 'News' Ate My Parents." She is speaking figuratively, of course. "My parents just watch Fox News," she explains, and they believe every word of it and it's just no use trying to talk to them about any of this anymore." Behind her, another demonstrator holds a sign reading "Honk for Democracy" and just above that there is a partially visible street sign that (entirely accidentally but somehow appropriately) reads "RIGHT LANE MUST …" so that the two signs combine to instruct motorists: "RIGHT LANE MUST … HONK For Democracy." I don't write the rules. But the rules are the rules.
