Attended a #50501Movement protest in #Scottsboro, #Alabama today. LOTS of supportive honking, including a supportive boop from a police car. Only 2 hostile reactions. No confrontations whatsoever. One couple who were just walking by actually grabbed signs and joined us!

Photo of anti-fascism protestors lining a sidewalk in Scottsboro, Alabama beside King Caldwell Park. Chalk message on a sidewalk which reads, “We *ARE* the People” Photo of a man wearing a black T-shirt holding up a sign. The t-shirt is an image of Donald trump’s face made up like a clown and with his hair done up in a rainbow-colored ladies’ old-fashioned updo. The sign is a hand-drawn image of Donald trump’s face drawn all big and creepy and in various weird colors and underneath in big, creepy, warty-looking and blistery-looking letters it says “TRUMP is WEIRD.”

Since I’ve lived in NE #Alabama, I’ve volunteered with our county #Democratic club (because they’re the only organized opposition to Trumpism in our area.) Each year in May we have a lovely evening social at a rural event barn and, happily, each year there has been a *noticeably* larger crowd.

Anytime you see an article about something shameful the regime has done that anyone would be horrified by if they knew about it, but that the major media are afraid to report honestly on, tag this account. I’ll make them into lil posters I’ll paste up around town. Like these.

It’s a full 8.5 x 11 sheet printed with two half-sheet posters that, in bold black capital letters, read, “Biblical marriage was the sale of women and anyone who believes in it should be regarded as a threat to society”
