    One of life’s biggest mysteries is how ALEC qualifies as a 501c3.


  2. - LakeviewJ - Monday, Jun 25, 18 @ 3:34 pm:

    “Is this the line for Lawrence Well tickets?”


  3. - @misterjayem - Monday, Jun 25, 18 @ 3:34 pm:

    “How long are we going to be out here? I’ve got a manicure at 3:15.”

  6. - Ron Burgundy - Monday, Jun 25, 18 @ 3:36 pm:

    “Oh it says DOCKET? I thought it said DOCKERS, and mistook it for the dress code.”


  7. - OneMan - Monday, Jun 25, 18 @ 3:38 pm:

    In a vain attempt to re-create the Pina Colada song putting a personal ad in a DC paper that read.

    Do you like right-to-work
    Getting a blue dress shirt on
    Perhaps even a blazer
    Hold a sign at meet me at the Supreme Court
    And we will plan our escape…

  9. - Anon - Monday, Jun 25, 18 @ 3:44 pm:

    It’s hard to beat the “did you guys take a picture of your own interns?”


  10. - 47th Ward - Monday, Jun 25, 18 @ 3:46 pm:

    The International Insurance Salesmen and Actuarial Union, Local 2.


  11. - 47th Ward - Monday, Jun 25, 18 @ 3:47 pm:

    It’s like a College Republicans meeting, only whiter.


  12. - Oswego Willy - Monday, Jun 25, 18 @ 3:48 pm:

    “We’re waiting for the truckload of barn coats, in the meantime, just stand here with these signs and don’t talk to the press.”


  13. - Spliff - Monday, Jun 25, 18 @ 3:51 pm:

    If it gets much hotter out here we might perspire. I think this darn sign is giving me a callus.


  14. - Stumpy's bunker - Monday, Jun 25, 18 @ 3:54 pm:

    The last-ditch manning of the barricades by the desperate proletariat outside the halls of justice.

    Yeah, it’s all about workers’ rights.


  15. - A guy - Monday, Jun 25, 18 @ 3:54 pm:

    The Village People would look more genuine.


  16. - Oswego Willy - Monday, Jun 25, 18 @ 3:55 pm:

    “I want to send a picture to my parents. They’re summering in the Hamptons… “


  17. - Nick Name - Monday, Jun 25, 18 @ 3:55 pm:

    I’ll just stand here in my Brooks Brothers suit and casually pass myself off as a working man. Untie! I mean, unite!”


  18. - Ron Burgundy - Monday, Jun 25, 18 @ 3:59 pm:

    “Is it pronounced ANN or INE? That always confuses me.”

    a different kind of running of the interns.


  20. - Dance Band on the Titanic - Monday, Jun 25, 18 @ 4:04 pm:

    Odd place for the sig chi boys to hold their chapter meeting


  23. - Bumblin stumblin rumblin - Monday, Jun 25, 18 @ 4:07 pm:

    Honestly though this picture is hilarious. I like that they used the old zoom feature to make the crowd look bigger. My guess is this was 15 people tops


  24. - Oswego Willy - Monday, Jun 25, 18 @ 4:07 pm:

    Usually we hire people to protest. This is going to scuff up my Florscheims


  25. - NeverPoliticallyCorrect - Monday, Jun 25, 18 @ 4:11 pm:

    Approved Union Activity time for State Employees


  26. - 47th Ward - Monday, Jun 25, 18 @ 4:16 pm:

    It’s like a Chick-fil-A, only whiter.


  27. - 47th Ward - Monday, Jun 25, 18 @ 4:19 pm:

    This is the only time these guys have ever “worked” outside. I hope they all get sunburn and splinters.


  28. - Ron Burgundy - Monday, Jun 25, 18 @ 4:20 pm:

    “What do we want? A nice white wine spritzer! When do we want it? Now!”


  29. - Oswego Willy - Monday, Jun 25, 18 @ 4:21 pm:

    I didn’t get my dad to get me into Georgetown to carry a sign like a working man… oh…


  30. - Stumpy's bunker - Monday, Jun 25, 18 @ 4:23 pm:

    Enterprising young “workers” selling tickets to those anticipating Rauner’s rendition of Snoopy’s Happy Dance.


  31. - Henry Francis - Monday, Jun 25, 18 @ 4:25 pm:

    We’re doing this for Porterhouse, at Bushwood.


  32. - bear3 - Monday, Jun 25, 18 @ 4:27 pm:

    We are all working men and use sandpaper on signs hopefully to transfer the baton!


  33. - Nolan - Monday, Jun 25, 18 @ 4:27 pm:

    I didn’t know teachers, state govt employees and municipal employees were supposed to wear hardhats.


  34. - Oswego Willy - Monday, Jun 25, 18 @ 4:28 pm:

    The Trump Hotel on Pennsylvania has the best hand lotion according to Pruitt, so after, we should head there…


  35. - dbk - Monday, Jun 25, 18 @ 4:43 pm:

    “Lots of hardhats”. Isn’t that the caption?

    Alternative: We’re standing with workers, who are at work.

    Who are these guys anyway? Has anybody asked them?


  36. - Quizzical - Monday, Jun 25, 18 @ 4:52 pm:

    Randall, remember what they told us. We’re not “marching and protesting for the working man”, we’re ”marchin’ and protestin’ for the workin’ man”.


  37. - Stumpy's bunker - Monday, Jun 25, 18 @ 5:05 pm:

    “Stand With Workers (wink-wink, nudge-nudge)”


  38. - NorthsideNoMore - Monday, Jun 25, 18 @ 5:06 pm:

    “So there is no chants we’re just humming the look for the union label song”


  39. - Jocko - Monday, Jun 25, 18 @ 5:09 pm:

    I see that Omega Theta Pi (from Animal House) still hazes its pledges. They must’ve left their coveralls in their BMWs.


  40. - d.p.gumby - Monday, Jun 25, 18 @ 5:18 pm:

    Field trip for the TrumpYouth…”Tomorrow Belongs to Me”

    Stand “with” workers.

    I think they meant “on.”


  44. - JS Mill - Monday, Jun 25, 18 @ 6:14 pm:

    “What is a “Worker” anyway?”


  45. - TinyDancer(FKASue) - Monday, Jun 25, 18 @ 6:17 pm:

    =One of life’s biggest mysteries is how ALEC qualifies as a 501c3.=
