On the mountain above Davos, Switzerland, locals hauled 450 torches through snow to spell “NO KINGS” in fire as Trump arrived for the World Economic Forum. A direct shot at Trump and authoritarianism, staged by residents of a kingless country and planted high above the global elite as a warning.

Very happy to be reading the English with Sahand reading the Farsi! You can hear so much in the original language, no matter how little you know the language and no matter how good the translation is!
