Very appreciated and gratifying to know we People to People support and encouragement from those countries that this present regime has alienated.

I read through the list of resistance events of US ExPats in other countries - joined and cheered on by locals; very touching and inspiring! (Democrats Abroad - www.democratsabroad.org).

my Girlfriend is from the UK, Cheshire! She just became a Yank last November. She's scared to protest due to being a newly citizen! Hard to understand we have a right to protest peacefully! Is dumping rotted not picked in time produce upwind and beachside to Donald ok? They did broccoli to former President Bush? Rotted not processed potatoes good?

The four corners of my downtown were mobbed. The crowd was electrified and the traffic beeped horns, gave us thumbs up, and shouted in support from their cars. City bus drivers and postal workers honked in support as they passed by. All in the cold and rain. I was there my daughter. Many, many age groups! Children and elderly alike. Some people came in wheelchairs. This is what democracy looks like!

Our demonstration in Thousand Oaks, CA, was very similar! Biggest difference is that we are going into a heat wave. Yesterday was the 1st day. Around 80°. I had my sunhat with the wide brim & fabric down the back. Lots of sunscreen. And used my iridescent purple cane to wave high in the air! We hadn't made signs. My arm is sore today! I guess 40 minutes of waving my cane high in the air was a workout! Because of how we arrange protests in our area, at major intersections & with a line of protestors along the adjacent streets, it is much easier to come & go.

Blessings.

LOL It was 29 degrees here in N Denver, when I hopped into my Jeep, which I took the doors and top off LAST week when it was 60!

So needless to say, It was COLD... But I travelled over 100 miles yesterday to go to BOTH the Longmont AND Greeley Colorado protests..

I was NOT disappointed... See my substack for video!!

It is ironic that so many Americans seemed to be anti Union and don't understand how powerful it is to work collectively for our rights in the workplace but this weekend the very union of people across parties to fight for the democracy is exactly how Unions in the workplace feel. Lawful protests are a galvanising way to express the popular feelings.

Enjoy and embrace the support of each other.

I was not able to physically attend either but I put some of the Hands Off signs in my front window in solidarity.

Perhaps those people who are afraid will gain the courage to join in as the protests around the country and world gain momentum.

I am unable to put a political sign in my window because we live in a community park that has rules about that. But I can go online and spread the word.

Amen. That is mostly what I do! I was only able to participate yesterday because my 19 year old (honorary) grandson wanted very much to join me.

Wonderful large crowd in Thousand Oaks, CA. Our protests tend to be on the sidewalks at & near busy intersection. Makes it easy for us to join for as long as we can (I lasted about 40 minutes, then rested in my car while Mark went back into the mall to browse. His comment was that everything was as too expensive!)

Blessings.

Idk if you're allowed to do this, but I saw the suggestion someplace: If you use a sunblocker in your windshield when the car is parked, put signs on it so you're protesting everywhere 🪧

I’m in similar circumstances, but I’m hoping to get a mobility scooter so I can participate this summer. A friend has volunteered to transport me and my scooter to wherever I want to go.

I'm wondering if folks like him get paid for every response they get! Bashers / Critics on stock.forums make 5 to 7 dollars paid by hedge funds! I can picture Elon paying to intimidate and antagonize!! Oh yeah!

Sorry that your education was so poor that you don't even know neighborhood is one word. If the word 'fuck' upsets you more than the words Trump and Musk, then you obviously don't understand what pathetic really means.

I saw two of those in Brooksville, FL (named for a vile enslaver) In both cases, I initiated a conversation saying, "thank you for being willing to be outside your comfort zone." One turned out to be the mother of a now homeschooling trans son. She said, "how could I not force myself to get out here to defend his rights?"

That’s a great sign. It is very funny but sadly true. There’s not enough cardboard in this country to list everything wrong with our current leaders running our government.

I think the best moment was when I shared with 2 of my sisters-in-law that I had attended the Buffalo rally wearing one of my late husband's shirts and his jacket because I was doing it to honor my veteran husband. My sister-in-law said that he would be proud of me. That made me cry. The fight is real and I won't stop.
