A monochrome picture taken late yesterday afternoon, at an intersection in the Mission District, San Francisco. It shows a stop sign rising up from a corner of the intersection. The sign is set against the sky, with 100-year-old buildings on either side. Traffic and park cars line the street. 

This is 2026, so the sign has been enhanced with spray painted block letters. It now reads: 

STOP
ICE

@BobHorowitz An evocative photo that really strikes at the heart of it all. Dark and moody.

@doctorobvious I had gone by 2 hours earlier and the light wasn't right. It was too bright for the mood. This was taken 20 minutes before sunset, when the streets were darker.

@BobHorowitz I’ll never trust Americans again until every goddamn stop sign in their country looks like this one and the fascists are dead.

@bluejay
*nods*

Those words mean a lot here. According to the 2020 census: 38% of this neighborhood is Latino.

@BobHorowitz And California used to be part of Mexico. When the US grabbed it, Latinos were already there — they’re not “invading” from anywhere. Latinos are among the Indigenous people who have been on this continent for far longer than the European colonists, and if anything they have more right to be here than anyone else. Chinga la migra forever.
