Even the little places in Oregon had unexpectedly large rallies on April 5. Hillsboro, home of Intel in Washington County, 20 miles from Portland, had expected 500 and 1500 showed up.

I am surprised that the word "kakistocracy" hasn't been applied to the Trump administration. The word comes from the Greek word "kakistos" meaning "the worst" or "least competent," fitting definitions for the current moment.

Every resistance movement has branding, a symbol like below. Each says something about what the movement is about, and just as important, says nothing about the opposition.
I'd like to hear from folks concerning an appropriate symbol for resistance to Trump that says who we are, not who they are.

Don’t lose hope. Remember, Watergate took over two years to fully unravel from the initial break-in to Nixon’s resignation. Just like then and now, Americans are losing faith in their government. We are documenting every illegal action and will hold this administration and Elon Musk accountable.

Alt National Park Service is calling for a boycott of all Musk-related products. Sell your Tesla shares, Tesla vehicles, cancel Starlink, and delete your X accounts. We urge international supporters to do the same. Countries are already proposing tariffs on Musk-affiliated businesses. Take a stand!
