Protest Thread #129: Stick it to 'em! With stickers.
Yesterday we had great protest weather and we met up on one of our favorite bridges. It's in a very diverse, blue voting area, but it's over the interstate. Historically the interstate is not blue anywhere, but it sure is now!
As has become common these days, there were no middle fingers at all. The honking was crazy, especially from the suffering truck drivers. An local transit worker came out...

Let's go see how things are going in #Ohio!
Oh my.

Right now, a cheerful but determined crowd of protestors has gathered outside a court house to support the "Minnesota 15," legal observers of #ICE. Although everything the observers did was legal under the #FirstAmendment, #DHS is persecuting them with, well, trumped up charges.
We have the First Amendment for as long as we defend it. #Minneapolis is even bringing the marching band energy.

Protest Thread #128: MAKE. IT. STOP.
Yesterday afternoon, I drove to another bridge protest downtown gleeful that I'd survived my well woman exam and now don't have to set foot in a doctor's office for another year. The weather was much better than expected, and we had a party on the bridge! Nobody even noticed any middle fingers from traffic, which is saying something in a rush hour protest over the interstate. Foot traffic was almost entirely gleeful.

William Love, the #Minneapolis "Spider-Man" protestor who punched Jaked Lang, is still patrolling Minneapolis, now with Spider-friends.

A teacher in Minnesota posted this sign, but it pretty much sums up the mood everywhere.
We always have anti-ICE signs up on the bridges and we get almost no middle fingers at this point. And we're talking rush hour over an interstate, tens of thousands of drivers in a 2 hour window.

Because of the farcical prosecution of James Comey, millions of protestors across the US put 8647 on protest signs. This is free speech.
Bridge trolls in Santa Barbara #California recently put an 8647 sign alongside other signs and the US flag on a bridge. Officers in the California Highway Patrol wanted 8647 taken down after a complaint.
This Indivisible chapter would not be silenced. We have the #FirstAmendment as long as we defend it.

I mean it, the nation's bridge trolls smell Republican blood in the water on gas prices. The feeding frenzy is happening on overpasses across the US!

"The Rogue Squadron pirates (Maryland over 95) were up on the quarterdeck yesterday for 'Talk Like a Pirate Day.' We had a very pirate-y message: ARRRR YOU MAD? VOTE! It was a very fun bit, and drivers were delighted."

Bishop William J Barber's group, the Repairers of the Breach, will be GETTING THE VOTE TF OUT IN NORTH CAROLINA! 🙌🏼
They are one prominent group out of thousands across the nation that are now mobilizing to turn out and safeguard the vote.

Some brave young protestors from the Sunrise Movement in #Minneapolis crashed a meeting of #USPS leadership to warn them that the people expect them to follow the #SCOTUS order and deliver ballots.
It's not a bad idea to make sure they know we are watching them. #Trump deliberately put an election denier in charge and we know these people are criminals. The least they deserve is peaceful protestors yelling at them.

There was a huge protest around the #KennedyCenter last night, with people forming a human chain around it. Tara Hoot, a drag queen who's been using comedy to advocate for the arts, was the MC.
#WashingtonDC protestors, despite living under occupation, have been protesting the whole time. Thank you to the Guardian and other foreign outlets for covering some of the marches!

CW: Occasional Foul Language. Always Political.
We cannot let Donald Trump’s allies stay in power any longer. He is scared to lose the midterms and it shows, but that will only happen if we vote! Check your registration, request your absentee ballot if you need it, and don’t forget to vote by 11/3.

The crap is about to hit the fan with gas prices in the USA, right in time for the election! There are also rumors of the truckers striking in October over completely unmanageable diesel prices.
Berkeley bridge trolls are making sure drivers know who caused all this chaos.

Protest Thread #127: The (justified) rage of the truckers!
As I've said on here before, at early protests in 2025 the truck drivers were split 50/50 on us-- probably along racial lines, given the teamster endorsements in 2024.
At yesterday's bridge protest, it was unbelievably loud. Not only did we get a robust response from interstate highway traffic, but oh my GOD how the truckers are laying on their horns for us these days.

#Arizona resisters in the Gilbert Good Trouble group put up this helpful sign next to a sign for Mark Lamb, who won the #GOP primary for Arizona's 5th district despite (or because of) alleged sexual misconduct.
They say: "We're just here to provide context."

Brave red state resisters are protesting in #Dallas #Texas even though their city government rescinded their permit for no good reason.
So far it's been spirited and loud and I haven't seen any violence. They're some tough people to continue protesting! I'm out there all the time, including in some (previously) red areas, but doing it in Texas at Trump-o-palooza is a whole 'nother.
#50501movement #Trump
People who aren't in the US resistance are not seeing this, but #WashingtonDC protestors have been extremely busy.
The mutiny of preverts is terrified. Not just about riots if they were to "successfully" steal the midterms (looking less likely by the day) but also the very sight of protestors mocking them 24/7.
