These are some photographs I have taken of curb communiqués that have caught my eye while walking and cycling around Portland. Some are political. Some are jokes. Some are both. Some I agree with. Some I definitely don’t. Some I can’t make heads or tails of. But maybe they will resonate with you.

They are free to share and use, as long as you credit: ‘Photograph by Nathaniel St. Clair, CounterPunch – CC BY 4.0′

“Remember to take care of others!”

“A budget is a statement of values.”

“No airbags. We die like real men.”

“Developer domination unjust. Overpopulation unwise. Liberal fascism built upon lies.”

“I wanna be higher than the cost of living.”

“Bitch, don’t kill my vibe.”

“White lives matter. Time to take a stand.”

“The revolution will not be liked/followed.”

“Keep your coins, I want change.”

“I had a definite sense of somehow being a passenger in an evil vehicle cruising through Paradise.” ― Sam Shepard
