New Haven, CT. Wish I could show you this family’s beaming faces. Great day despite the drizzle. Terrific brass band. And sure looked like a couple thousand to me.
Protest sign “Paid Protester? Oh Sweetie… I do this for free out of Pure Organic LOATHING”

Hartford, Ct was estimated at 2-3k last time; nearly 4K this time.
Woman in a Handmaid’s Tale costume, tape saying “resist” over her mouth, raises a fist in front of the CT Supreme Court building. Her sign says “This is the Future THEY want for us. Resist for America, For our Children, for our Future.” A man hold a trans flag and an anti-Project 2025 sign, a woman holds a sign with US flag, saying “rejecting kings since 1776* *earlier in CT.”

Hartford, CT- full of joy, drivers honking like crazy in time to the chants, and a lot of sunburn!
Woman in Handmaid’s Tale costume raises a fist in front of the CT Supreme Court, holding a sign that says “This is the future they want for us. Resist for America, for our Children, for our future.” A man holds an anti-Project 2025 sign and a trans flag, an older woman holds a sign with a US flag saying “rejecting Kings since 1776* *earlier in CT.” Fierce woman in black with blonde curls holds a black sign with big red lettering, saying “Welcome to Gilead under Trump #PutinsBitcu Woman in free hugs LGBTQ shirt holds a sign saying “You are blaming the wrong 1%” on a background of the trans flag. Crowd packed together waving many union signs supporting SB8 for workers’ rights, interspersed with homemade signs. One says “don’t tread on me” on yellow poster board evoking the original Revolutionary era sign, only the typical rattlesnake is entwined to form the shape of a uterus.

A joyful, exhilarating time in Hartford. Piles of people, and you wouldn’t believe the honking from the drivers.
A woman in a Handmaid’s Tale costume stands on a riser near stairs, raises a fist while holding a sign that says “this is the future they want for us. Resist for America, for our children, for our Future,” ornate grey columns on the CT Supreme Court building behind her. A man holds an anti-Project 2025 and a trans flag on her right; an older woman to her left holds a sign with an American flag that says “Rejecting Kings Since 1776*. *earlier in Connecticut.” The CT state flag flies in the background.

Very hand-made protest sign saying “I wish we WERE paid actors- maybe then we could afford eggs!” It’s not letting me fix the lack of alt text in the original post, but it’s a tweet by some dude - Graham Allen maybe? It won’t let me see it in this window - saying these people are paid, they are paid, they are paid.

How about this?
Apparently the man got out, started talking to the organizers, and agreed to consider their points before driving off. Wild. (Gillette, the reddest of the red, reports 75 very spineful people.)

Lander, WY, y’all - 7,500 people - turned out a way higher percentage of their population than these cities making the news. #handsoff
Text conversation: Lander WY counted 470 in the crowd. *that is stunning.* A man drove into the Lander crowd (not violently) in a truck covered in Trump signs, blaring patriotic music. The hard protesters responded by encircling the vehicle to pray for him while everyone else started swing-dancing to the beat.

Person holding a bright and cheerful Pride flag up against the cold grey sky, near a sign saying “I will NOT go quietly back to the 1950s.”

Cold, wet, lovely energizing loneliness-alleviating day.
Young person hollering, holding up a sign that says “don’t just protect trans kids - Fight their Oppressors!” A woman beside them holds a sign with hand-drawn flowers that says, in cursive, “Fuck the Patriarchy - HAGS UNITE.”

NPR, AP, and Reuters run the wartime powers story top of page, and tell us people were deported despite a judge’s order to turn planes around. The Post headline just says a judge blocked deportation and buries the rest in the text. News not affected, eh?
“Judge blocks Trump from deporting Venezuelan migrants under Alien Enemies Act”- Washington Post headline 3/16/25. The last time this act was invoked interned Japanese citizens in WWII. “Hundreds of alleged gang members deported from US despite court order” - NPR top story, 3/16/25. “Trump administration deports hundreds of migrants even as judge orders that removals be stopped.” - APNews top story, 3/16/25. “Allrged Venezuelan gang members deported by US arrive in El Salvador” - Reuters top story, 3/16/25.

Big floofy creamsicle of a cat hangs paws exhausted over edge of couch.
