Last time we went out locally, we were the only ones there for more than an hour. When folks did start showing up, a number didn’t have signs so this afternoon I spent some time screenprinting spares to share 14/6. We used to be so good at protesting around here that England made cartoons about it!

All the support from Denmark 🇩🇰🇺🇸 Stay safe 💪

We all have to speak up now.

yes! I'm in northern California and will be on the overpass in Folsom!

going out protesting is SO good for the soul. link arms with like-mindeds, laugh at the handmade signs, sing with everyone, shout at the idiots - and hopefully manage to avoid the national guard

I hear that, my partner and I will be going out on Saturday. Hoping to see a lot of folks out there.

Truly mind-boggling how the bully who always backs down suddenly becomes invincible once he turns towards the people... Oh wait

[Spider-Man Saron meme] But I don’t want to help my community! I want to have public breakdowns!

I have to wonder how much overlap these folks have with those who either didn’t vote or voted third party.

Wear a mask (kn95, n95, or better). Easy peasy.

for real i can't protest but i'm also not a doomer

VOLUNTEER FOR THE PTA OMIGOD. PROTEC THE BUKS

I am going to the Boston Pride parade, which is themed No Kings — Yaaas Queens this year.

…All on the same day here in Baltimore. I highly doubt I’m the only person who’s going to be bopping between all 3 events.

i'm just cheering y'all on from another continent tbh! good luck out there

Food banks still need food. Kids still need to be babysat and dogs walked for elderly neighbors.

I’m in ✊🏼✊🏻✊🏽

Hear, hear!

That's good, but you might consider starting your own one-person protest. You never know who might notice and join you.

Doomerism is exactly what Trump and his flunkies like Miller want from us. Don't give it to them.

MAGA Mine AI Slurry sounds like a cross between chili and alphabet soup but it's only the reject pasta.

If there is one thing I actually trust Americans to do, it is pulling the homework out of our asses the second it’s due, and not a moment before. It’s who we are, and part of the reason I don’t count us out.

There have been people living in a place where nothing was happening who took it upon themselves to start protesting regularly in a particular spot, alone. As they kept doing it, other people who saw them began to join them, and a group formed. It happens!

One thing you’ll hopefully gain by joining peaceful protests is a sense of community, perhaps even building a new network of like-minded people from which to grow a longer-term movement.

Totally agree. I'll be out there, too. I totally get the doom some feel; honestly, I'm a bit of a pessimist anyway, but I fully believe we can still win.

Better IMO to factor their fecklessness into the equation and look for leadership elsewhere.

I was going to go to central WA to see music but I will do this instead.

Everyone! Nokings.org

My pre biofeul self agrees!

Hearing the orange POS today made me more determined than ever to be out there standing up Saturday. Thinking about what kind of sign I'll make.

Seriously. Complaining on BlueSky is one thing, but people’s energy is so much better served getting out there. Help canvas, register voters, spread the word on the reconciliation package. Literally anything. And yes, I practice what I preach

me too. I also think it's important to show solidarity with the immigrants being targeted. If we stand by while they are kidnapped and brutalized, we're as bad as Trump and his ghouls. Hoping that a vetted legal aid network emerges to help raise donations for lawyers for those grabbed up by ICE

Yup. Our metric has been: are they still in office? Yes? Then that means we protest. There's value in saying a strong, resounding NO.

Amen Dragon

We are going out a marching the weekend.

That sounds paranoid to me, but thanks for the warning. I’m a fifty something blonde white woman. I’ve been privileged my whole life, so maybe I’m a fool. But I won’t let these fuckers cow me. They can try to put me in jail, we’ll see how that goes.
