"Right, so Tony's out of town right this second," Steve said, up to his elbows in posterboard as the class came in, "so today you just have me. We're going to work on protest signs about the Supreme Court, about how telling the truth still matters and about how all of the Senate Republicans should be ashamed of themselves."

A lot of glitter left over from the Student Council Parents Weekend decorations were adorning Steve's signs, but there was still some left for everyone else.

"We're going to throw together some signs, and then we're going to protest in front of the Capitol. If you get arrested, Tony can spring us before your parents arrive today."

Probably. C'mon kids, time to get your First Amendment on!

"Grab a piece of posterboard and get to work. I'll tell you about Judge Kavanaugh and his ridiculously petulant sense of entitlement as we go."

See? Tony was a moderating influence on Steve. Scary, huh?

Make your Poster

While Steve handwavily, so not trigger anyone IRL fills the class in on Kavanaugh.

Astrid didn't think she could come up with a clever phrase or slogan for her sign, but she did know she could make a pretty striking image of Lady Justice looking pretty pissed off, welding her sword in one hand while still attempting to keep her scales balanced in the other.

Protest!

Join the many people in black with signs reading "KavaNO" and "I believe women". Steve has gone with a "FOR SHAME, SENATOR FLAKE."

Try not to get arrested, but let's be honest, Steve isn't trying that hard not to be arrested. He's got a voice that carries and a whole lot of righteous rage.

Not exactly the protesting type beyond very personal little rebellions, Astrid was mostly too stuck on the irony of the irony that getting arrested would actually make it more likely for her to get to see her mother this weekend, which didn't make her feel bitter or irritable or anything, no....
