Our 32nd consecutive protest is done! Oak Ridge has a dedicated group of folks that simply HAVE to let it be known that we will NOT quietly accept living in an authoritarian country.
Join us next week if you too just have to say how you feel.

22 patriots braved the rain and cold weather in #Townsend today at the entrance to #GSMNP to say #HandsOff our parks! This land is our land, come join us next time we exercise our #FirstAmendment rights to #ProtectOurParks @nashvilleresist.bsky.social @altnps.bsky.social @6news.bsky.social
Protester wearing a bear mask and two signs, one sign says, "honk some love for our parks" and the other sign says, "this land was made for you and me" Protesters are visible on both sides of the road just outside the Townsend GSMNP entrance. Protesters are visible across the street and on the same side of the road as the Townsend entrance sign to GSMNP. Most of the leaves are off the trees as it is very late fall. It is also raining, the road is wet and there appear to be shallow puddles along the road. The temperature outside was in the low 40s, cold enough people wore layers and were definitely braving cold, wet weather. Two protesters visible in the background across the street from one protester who is smiling, wearing a wet rain coat with the hood up, and a pair of glasses. He's holding a white sign with mostly black letters except for the word "no" which is written in red. The sign reads, "no East Wing "renovations" to our parks"

Scenes from the sidewalk in front of the library in Oak ridge TN, where about 45 Patriots joined to exercise their first amendment rights. Visible, readable signs from this photo include, "Save USA 8647", "Be kind America", and "Make America KIND Again" Scenes from the 30th consecutive weekly protest in Oak Ridge, TN. On one side of the sidewalk are a line of protesters. On the side of the sidewalk where the trees live are two tables set up, one with a table of baked goods raising money for children in Gaza, the other with community resources and extra signs. Scenes from the 30th consecutive weekly protest in Oak Ridge, TN. A distance photo of most of the line of people exercising their first amendment rights, from noon to 2pm by the library. A line of stopped traffic is visible, and people are peacefully holding their signs so the people in their cars are able to read the signs while driving by. It is visibly near late fall because there are leaves all over the grass and almost none left on the trees. A photo of the line of protesters from far enough away it appears almost to be a big crowd of about 40 people. There's a line of stopped traffic because Turnpike is one of the major roads, and this photo was taken from the perspective of being near the intersection of Turnpike and Tulane.

Protest sign that is white with black letters, it says, "I'm not your enemy this is not a military training ground" A mostly sunny day with a few clouds in the distance, the visible trees are mostly without leaves, which are all over the grass. The sidewalk is mostly clear from them, and there are many protesters visible in the distance. Two are closer to the photographer, one is holding a sign that is white with black letters, it says, "be kind America" and there is an American flag attached to the top of it. Another similar view to the previous photo, trees are bare of leaves, it is clearly late fall. A number of protesters are visible in the distance. Close up of a sign, white background with black letters, the sign says, "And it's a certain kind of FOOL who likes the SOUND of his own NAME" with "Eagles' Desperado, Certain Kind of Fool (1973)" underneath explaining where the quoted lyrics can be found.

Keep in mind, we've got no end date in sight, because #Fascism isn't taking time off, and it's going to take every last one of us to #DefendDemocracy. Please remember to dress in layers as it gets into colder weather, maybe bring a blanket along with your chair.. We'll still have our extra signs!
Protesters at the 29th gathering in Oak Ridge TN. One sign in the background reads, "no kings not now not ever" and one in the foreground reads, "Liberar Los Archivos de Epstein" A sign from a protester that reads, "A murdering lunatic forced Dems to make a sadistic choice between healthcare & food." With a picture of a green demon with yellow eyes on the right side of the sign. A protesters sign that reads, "the ROK gave him a crown, let him be their king!" The crown is just a picture of a crown instead of the word itself. The sign has a gold background, and all the lettering is in black. A protest sign propped up by a chair, it is a long thin rectangle, it reads, "Thank you for your attention to this matter" and there are leaves all over the ground, indicating it is likely mid November in Oak Ridge, TN.

A better view of our "Honk For Democracy" banner, attached to the stop sign to better hold up with how windy of a day it was in Oak Ridge, TN while this protest was happening. Every noon to 2pm by the library on Saturdays in Oak Ridge. The line of protesters is visible in the background, as well as the box truck for David Miller. A picture of the line of protesters between the sidewalk and the road, sidewalk visible. Many leaves on the ground, it is clearly late fall and anyone walking through the leaf covered grass would be crunching their way through the leaves. I'm the foreground, there is a billboard style poster that says, "What's the big secret fellas?" On the left with a labeled photo of Trump looking at Jeffrey Epstein. A similar photo to the previous one, just further down the line where we are past the tree with the billboard style sign. There's a group of people on the tree side of the sidewalk near the Southern Resistance Coalition information table, with a sign leaning against the cooler which reads, "All of my outrage won't fit on one sign." A screenshot of the Facebook album post from SRC with text that reads: "45 Patriots joined us on the sidewalk by the library in Oak Ridge, TN once again, this was week number 29 in a row! Thank you to everyone who joined us on this windy day 🇺🇲 we gathered as a community, and we gathered food for our community members in need. Please come join us next week when it'll be week 30 in a row, bring food for someone in need if you're able, or just bring yourself! We've usually got some extra signs if you don't have one already. As we move into the cooler weather, remember to dress appropriately to stay warm as we continue to exercise our first amendment rights while we still can!" Then about 5 visible photos with the 5th overlaid with "+12" to indicate there are 12 more photos not shown in the thumbnails.

45 #patriots joined us for our 29th Saturday in a row of exercising our #FirstAmendment rights. We are collecting food for those in need as well, bring some by if you're able when you come join us next week! You'll find us by the library in #OakRidgeTN from noon to 2pm! @nashvilleresist.bsky.social
A large banner in a sign holder, blue background with white letters that reads, "Honk For Democracy" A man holding a sign, close up of the sign reads, "Liars, Tyrants, Pedophiles, oh my! Toto, I have a feeling we're not in America anymore! No wizards, no kings, no lying pedophiles" A protest sign that is just a photo of Jeffrey Epstein with Donald Trump, with the word,"PEDOPHILES" fixed to the front of this photo, hanging off so the word is wider than the photo itself, very legible with white letters on a black background. An attempt at a group photo showing as many protesters on the line as possible without the photographer getting into the road. It is obviously later into fall as there are leaves on the ground and one visible large tree is missing over half of its leaves. There are a few visible signs like, "tax the rich," and, "all of my outrage won't fit on one sign" along with a box truck advertising David Miller as a candidate for TN state representative.

Start calling your senators.
veganroyalty 23m For those still trying to understand what this means: Senate passed a PROCEDURAL vote 60—40 , to move the deal forward that would end the shutdown e Advanced to floor debate Awaiting final Senate vote Needs House approval Needs President's signature The bill to end shutdown has NOT gone through the whole process yet. Still time to 1. Spread awareness 2. Call and tag your reps (get noisy) Let them know if you want them to vote no on this bill 3. Shutdown is not over. If this bill passes it will devastate health care costs!
