Just to be clear, only the RESIST!! sign was made today

I decided to include the Impeach Now! picture in the tweet to send the right message. Also, I was at this one, so I'm more attached to it. I'm at the bottom of the H.

All of these are organized by a normal guy/cab driver from SF named Brad Newsham, who is also my friend through helping him organize some of them. He's done at least one other of these on Fukushima radiation that I know of.

RESIST!!

They listed this and the counter planned parenthood protest. I a little under the weather trying to stop a cold so I stayed home. Next week I plan to be out there protesting somewhere.

The protests are numerous and very large, and all across different parts of the country. You're right. The internet helps us connect, too.

our own local expression.

Just as the misogynists, racists, etc are being emboldened to spew their stuff publicly now that they have a Trumpet in the WH, we are emboldening each other, too. Our resistance must prevail to the maximum extent it can. This is shaping up as an epic battle for the soul of our democracy.
