Canada geese stand with Portland antifascist protesters.
Can't lose with the murder chickens on your side!
The official account of the #50501movement on Insta is saying they will have to use #Bluesky because #Zuck is doing so much so suppress their content.
I have heard this from a number of resistance accounts I follow. Let there be no doubt that the protests matter! Zuck and Musk and pro-fash corporate media would not try to suppress those efforts if they were irrelevant.
He does NOT want you to see this stuff, and that's why I share it.
But now I have to have a Bluesky account. Oh well.
Y'all know the Big Fugly Bill gets more unpopular the more people learn about it, including MAGAs who stand to lose vital social services.
So educating the public is a huge part of saving democracy, and the MSM can't be bothered to do it.
Repairers of the Breach organized Monday across 11 southern US states for a "Moral Monday" to protest the loss of Medicaid and other ugly stuff!
Remember, this Thursday the Good Trouble protests will be EVERYWHERE in the US.
Find a protest near you, or help someone else go! If you physically can't protest, you can drive by and honk or find a virtual event. Every act of resistance matters.
The downtown #LosAngeles protests in front of the federal building were almost 24/7 before Friday, but now they're officially around the clock. Here's how it looks over there this morning. They have a whole camp set up with everything from coffee and food to information pamphlets for the public.
They are staying until #ICE and the military GTFO of Los Angeles.
Orange County #California went hard protesting #JDVance at Disneyland!
Cape May County, New Jersey, USA has a Bridge Brigade whose members protest Trump's policies. Almost every Saturday, the protesters hold signs and banners as they stand on a bridge that passes over a busy highway (the Garden State Parkway). Bonds of community and friendship have been the result.

There were already protests going on most of the time outside the federal detention facility in downtown #LosAngeles. But after a particularly horrifying protester video of #ICE chaining shrieking women and children together, the protest is officially 24/7 until the Nazis leave.
@50501va on Ig says:
"People from across #Virginia are joining us on July 17th to line Monument Avenue in Richmond to create a 3 mile long chain of advocates defending our democracy, defending our communities, and committed to defeating Trump’s chaos.
"But if you have limited mobility, are concerned about the heat, or have other health issues, we invite you to take part by serving as our car cheerleaders!"
Because it's Saturday, it's time for GOOFY PROTEST THREAD #33: Back to #TeslaTakedown
We had warmish but pretty good weather for protesting today, and just enough spicy interactions with deranged people to make it fun! I'd only been there about 20 minutes when I heard a man driving out of the Tesla dealership screaming "Heil Hitler!"
Immigrant rights groups and the National Day Laborer Organizing Network are organizing protests and boycotts targeting Home Depot. Many small businesses and places of worship and schools have taken steps to protect anyone on their property from #ICE. Anybody can do it, and we're talking a multibillion dollar corporation built on the backs of immigrants-- yet Home Depot just lets ICE abduct their workers.
I was shopping at Lowe's anyway.
Here's a community #ICE watch notice from Anaheim, coordinating a response to protect car wash workers.
Freaking car wash workers.
That's who armed anonymous goons are "protecting" us from.
UPDATE:
Angry peaceful protesters showed up to the Happiest Place On Earth to tell Vance to stop attacking other people's families.
JD Vance is at Disneyland? Protest at Disneyland.
Orange County resisters say: "JD VANCE DESERVES NO FAMILY VACATION WHILE OUR COMMUNITY FACES FAMILY SEPARATION. JD IS NOT WELCOME IN ORANGE COUNTY."
The man everybody hates and couches dread will doubtless whine about this. That's what Nazis do when they don't get to murder everybody without pushback.
Tomorrow, July 12th, the #Texas Sunrise Movement will be holding another protest at the state Capitol in Austin.
Remember, this is not a red state we're talking. Like the others, it is an extremely voter suppressed state, courtesy of the fascist state government and the Roberts court. Just like we're wondering whether the US in general will have elections now-- it's been a foregone conclusion in Texas and Florida for years.
Meanwhile in #Massachusetts, the cat lady Meowlitia from @catsonacouch is decorating all of Nantucket in preparation for Vance's visit there July 22nd.
Don't piss off the cat ladies.
Orange County #California is having emergency protests to tell both #ICE and #JDVance to fuck off into the sun.
Fed up #California resisters search weekly for AWOL #GOP Congress critter Darrell Issa. Of course he never sets foot in his Escondido office, but the protesters are there all the time! Watch them chant "Don't steal our democracy, go back to stealing cars!"
Orange County, like most places in the US, has protests going on every day. The Sunday protest at Irvine City Hall is just one of them.
After a month of military occupation and whatever TF that was in MacArthur Park, protests continue literally night and day in #LosAngeles
This is one of the hotel protests, where people bang pots and drums and play brass instruments outside hotels where ICE is staying until the hotel kicks the Nazis out. (Remember, the hotels hate ICE too and ICE has to lie to get bookings.)
The people will not be intimidated.
