Do this again!
In 1986, over six million Americans joined hands from coast to coast in #HandsAcrossAmerica. Ordinary people stood together against hunger and homelessness, choosing love over hate. It proved unity is possible—and now, more than ever, it’s time to reach out again.

40 years ago we all took part in #HandsAcrossAmerica to raise money to combat hunger and homelessness.
Now this is something that ALL Americans can stand together again to fight fascist oligarchs trying to destroy our beloved country.
Thank you Ohio, you give me such hope!🫂🕊️🇺🇸

Ohio managed to get thousands of people to hold hands and link arms in a human chain that stretched 8 miles to stand against ICE.
8 miles of humans linked together.

Dubious on the logistics involving fire, but I've long pitched that a way the USA might find its way out of the financial ditch we'll be left beneath by Team Trump could involve an embalmed (or living) DJT, a queue of people lined up #HandsAcrossAmerica or #BalticChain style, & ticketed ball-kicks.
![Some comments and a short dialogue that ensued right after posting this, almost 6 years ago:
《[Me]: I figure if the shitgibbon's aggressive ineptitude and golf obsession don't bankrupt our nation, then the post-presidency Secret Service tab likely will
[Me again, asserting my mastery of the void-shout self-reply] : Raise funds for putting the nation back together by letting people donate ~$10 to reserve their place in line. Open it up to foreign participation to make the nation's tourist industry additionally experience an unprecedented boom.
[a friend] : you mean the tourist industry that is taking a hit due to twump not to mention travel warnings regarding gun violence in the US ...

[me again, replying to the CNN-linking reply] : that's the very one, but don't call it a comeback.》](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yv2yzj4wkpmkptrz2djlauwz/bafkreifxtohlron7na6w3t7w7ieomrmhfej4iv2jyqeydlelqdf2gl7rbu@jpeg)
![Another contemporaneous dialogue stemming from a reply, between one of my best friends & myself:
《[That friend] : Notre Dame got $1B in 2 days
[me] : yeah, this would dwarf that, guaranteed. In French donations alone, even (see bit about opening event to foreign participation.)
[me again, possibly in response to a since-deleted comment] : In doing some accounting here, it might be (to use your phrase) "leaving money on the table" to not charge premiums for various perks like various before- and after-parties, wide-angle lenticular photos of your kick as it played out, being able to shout something mid-kick that would become part of the permanent record of the event in a "Day In The Life Of America" -type book that would be sold afterward for additional funding of the cause (or, at a certain price tier, one's words might become a part of the monument erected to the occasion at its site on The Mall in DC, where I believe there would be space for it.) No rule against words shouted in French, and now I feel a bit more comfortable about any use of the word "guarantee" in my previous comment vis a vis French lucre.》](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yv2yzj4wkpmkptrz2djlauwz/bafkreicau7jbshq7njxemlupsjuqtcm552lor5jlx6pv7isfvxvtzh4r54@jpeg)

Rest in the Force, Robin Williams. There is a fantastic conversation between George Lucas and Robin Williams, in which they have a few laughs, do a couple of impressions, and discuss the negative fan reactions.

Idea from a person on X: Let's get a 'Hands Across America' going!
In 80's people held hands for 15 minutes from NYC to LA to save land! But let's add more cities! Hold hands to stand together to protect our land, stand for law, our Constitution & We the People of the UNITED States!🗽⚖️🇺🇲
