with a shopping bag blocking a tank in Tiananmen Square during the crackdown in China.
Could anyone who has this photo please post it?
Now someone will probably Photoshop Ivanka into the scene...

And, yes. That's Ivanka's head peeking out on top of the last tank in line.

one or many people, standing in front of them holding shopping bags, will make a powerful point.

(15,035 posts)8. If you live in or near D.C., please take note
If possible, get a shopping bag on Thursday and go stand in front of Trump's tanks. It will be a tremendously powerful statement.
I'd do it myself, but it's literally impossible for me to get there.
But, please, if you can do it, do it. (Not for me. For what we once called America.)
