My little town in NJ showed up today (& got soaked)! Here's hoping the ground is equally sodden for Orangina's birthday party tonight ....
Crowd of people standing in the street, facing away from the camera, some holding signs. One says, "MAKING GOOD TROUBLE"; another, "Dangerous Oligarchs Grab Everything," with the initial letter of each word emphasized.

Go, Piscataway, NJ!! A few hundred people showed up for today's protest - not bad for a suburban side-of-the-road event with minimal public transit access (😢).

#50501Movement -- #HandsOff -- #NoKings !!
Photo of a crowd of sign-holders standing by the side of the road, on a day that was sunnier, in-person. Protesters' faces are blurred.

#teslatakedown on a rainy day in Springfield, NJ. Let's keep at this!
Protesters gathered by the side of the road on a grey day. Most are holding signs. One says,"no Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA.” Another says, "What's up? Not Tesla!" And a third, " Hunka Hunka Burnin' Junk," with a photograph of a vehicle and engulfed in flames.

500 ppl for today's #TeslaTakedown in Lawrenceville, NJ! This was the 3rd one (I think?) at this location, & each one has been bigger than the last!
Photo shows a crowd of people holding signs in front of a Tesla dealership on a bright sunny day with a few clouds. One sign reads, "Stop Elon's Billionaire Space Nazi Takeover! America fight back!"

Un-fucking-forgiveable. I've spent my career repping folks who've gotten the short end of the stick(systemic + individually-targeted racism; poverty), in systems that are unjust & punitive in all kinds of ways, but this absolutely open, unrestrained, sadistic lawlessness?

Jaw hanging open.

Great crowd at today's @teslatakedown.com in Springfield, NJ!

(V difficult to get a good picture, though, as a participant in a side-of-the-highway protest.)
Photo shows the Tesla showroom and service building in Springfield, New Jersey, with a crowd of protesters out front. Crowd looks smaller than it actually was, bc of the photographer's position at the end of a long line of people.

#50501Movement #Protest hits Trenton, NJ!
Photo shows protesters (faces pixelated for anonymity), dressed for winter, outside a white stone government building. Two protestors are holding signs: one sign says "Our Future: Our Democracy" on an orange flowered background with a drawing of a Black woman (head & shoulders), with pink flowers in her blue hair (unsure if this depicts a real person?); the other, speaking for all of us, says only, "WTF." Photo shows crowd, dressed for winter; one person holds a cardboard sign saying, "I'm tired of authoritarian bullshit!"

THIS is how you do it!! -- www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
Snippet from Seattle Times: Senior U.S. District Judge John Coughenour on Thursday was blistering in his criticism of Trump’s action as he granted a temporary restraining order that blocks Trump’s executive order from taking effect nationwide. “I’ve been on the bench for over four decades, I can’t remember another case where the question presented is as clear as this one is. This is a blatantly unconstitutional order,” Coughenour, an appointee of Ronald Reagan, said from the bench. “There are other times in world history where we look back and people of goodwill can say where were the judges, where were the lawyers?” Coughenour interrupted before Brett Shumate, a Justice Department attorney, could even complete his first sentence. “In your opinion is this executive order constitutional?” he asked. Said Shumate, “It absolutely is.” “Frankly, I have difficulty understanding how a member of the Bar could state unequivocally that this is a constitutional order,” Coughenour said. “It just boggles my mind.”
