I finally moved over!
My DMs are currently open - if you'd like to send me info about an April 5 protest in a small town, or something along those lines, feel free.

I'm going to make a thread of all the small town protests I've seen here on bsky, including many in "red" towns/areas. Seeing all these is truly amazing and I send my thanks & appreciation to my fellow Americans standing up for democracy. #handsoff #handsoff2025.

We made our Declaration of Independence Banner Brigade idea a reality today, making our debut at Palisades (DC)'s 4th of July Parade.
It was uplifting, unifying, patriotic.
Grateful for an appreciative crowd, & for Indivisible's infrastructure that helped us come together.

In our tiny Town of Quartzsite we had 40 people from all over the country. I met a lady from France who gave me a hug, thanking me. She said we were saving the world. There were maybe 5 five pro-47, you can see in the background. They were sad.

Talequah, OK, pop 16,833.
~40 protestors in the rain & cold weather. They endured some negative behavior from passersby
BUT also got a lot of waves/honks—showing their neighbors how to stand up for democracy!

Tyngsboro, MA (pop 12,380)
Gathering in nearby big (/small) cities is an important part of the movement. Some ppl can travel fairly easily; it makes sense for them (solidarity, bigger impact etc)
OTOH Jackie shows the point of showing up locally. This matters! 👏👏

250 turned out on Sat.
Not only is this an impressive 4.4% of the population, but @ymomof2.bsky.social put herself out there to organize & her neighbors showed up 10x what she expected. Let's give a shout-out to organizers like her who are so important!

Just wanted to repost the second chunk of my thread so that people don't stop when bluesky hides the rest of the thread under the tiny "Continue Reading" link that you have to click on.

I’d like to amplify this video of the people in Cadillac, Michigan, since their local station didn’t cover it. Blocks long turnout of people standing up for democracy. Thank you, Cadillac!! #handsoff #handsoff2025
Cadillac, MI (10,400), too, although I could not find any report on the local news station. This video is from a car passenger's phone: youtu.be/8jY1-6u9L1g?...

Anyone doing a #teslatakedown - Do consider transitioning to a new kind of protest to show that this is more than just 1 person’s (now-failing) company.
1. In/Near your neighborhood so ppl will see it’s decentralized & is happening everywhere. Plus you’ll connect w/ neighbors!
2. Frame as positive:…
