I'll be thinking of you all today 11:00 am

[Duncanpup]

I’ll be at local protest good luck stay safe.

Quote I read And remember (If not us then who if not now then when)

And I hope we can accomplish this through peace yet perhaps I’m foolish to think this way. As this administration will eventually feel threatened and will unleash violence upon us.

[marble falls]

1. Get in good trouble!!

[peacebuzzard]

2. Stay safe. And thank you for doing this.

We stand strong, you are the best

[OldBaldy1701E]

3. And, we will be thinking of you and all who are out there fighting for us.

I wish I could attend. I would not last five minutes in this cold.

Although a few deaths might get some media attention... BAH, who am I kidding?

[Timeflyer]

4. Got my signs and protest pants (lots of pockets) ready. Stay strong. With you in spirit.

[Easterncedar]

5. Fierce wind and cold today will reduce turnout here

Friends at a distance have decided they can’t do it. Lucky for me I am close, so will be shoveling out my driveway and then walking to the State House. We won’t be many, but we will be fierce.

I wish I could see a good end game, but without deference to the courts there is nothing in place to stop the coup. Who would have thought South Korea would be better at protecting their democracy than we are?

6. Sing some patriotic songs

Some patriotic songs passionately!

We shall overcome tyranny

[AverageOldGuy]

7. My daughter is carrying a very big, very neatly-worded sign:

WE CAME
UNARMED.

THIS TIME.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. Good for her! That is just perfect. Wow. nt

[I_UndergroundPanther]

35. Ooooh I like that.

If I can find a person doing a carpool to get to a protest I’ll go but I might steal that sign.

[calimary]

38. Ooooooooo, I LIKE this!

8. The activist board has great info on smartphones at rallies.

Maybe read that thread before you go? Best of luck.

[PittBlue]

9. Thank you...

What a wonderful human you are.❤️

[AllaN01Bear]

10. ""

i am resisting in place . . thats all i can do.

[wordstroken]

11. We we'll be thinking of you as well, Duncanpup.

I’ll be with you in spirit and watching for your report on how it went for you and your fellow patriots.

Please stay safe.

12. It Is Not Required That You Personally Suffer In Order To Demonstrate That You Care

Leave Your Smartphone At Home

Consider Wearing A Full Winter Head Mask

Stay safe at there y'all...

I'm in Louisiana. Baton Rouge is a quite a journey from Shreveport, the city in which I reside.

I have no doubt that all attendees of the protests will be identified, catalogued and identity/location information captured from smartphones and potentially vehicles in the area.

This is only the first skirmish.
Live to fight another day.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

36. I have

A leather bandanna lined with sheep fur that covers a good chunk of my face that and a T-shirt cover should be warm I got the bandanna at jammin leather.

[MayReasonRule]

37. This Is The Way!

[I_UndergroundPanther]

41. Ironically if

A cop punches me in the face I’ll have cushioning laugh or cry both?

[MayReasonRule]

42. The Way To Not Be Punched By A Cop Is The Sane Way That One Avoids Falling Hair...

You stand out of the way...

Happy Tuesday y'all!

[Martin Eden]

13. Stay safe and stay WARM

I had thoughts of traveling to my state capitol today, but standing outside in single digit temps at my age was a deterrence.

[Tickle]

14. Are any news stations reported

any of the this? I have yet to see anything on a few news channels

[DENVERPOPS]

31. I fear

that Trump is just waiting for something like this, to enable him "legally" to use the "insurrection act" and mobilize the U.S. Military and establish Marshall Law across the U.S.

[Tickle]

34. Martial

I don't understand your post.

[AntiFascist]

40. We have a local station owned by Scripps that had reporters in 3 cities covering the protests, then showed it nationwide

but they also interviewed Republicans defending what Trump is doing.

[Golfnbrew]

15. Heading out to ours

About to drive to Columbia, hoping for large attendance. Signs made, warm clothing on, fingers crossed.

[LittleGirl]

16. I'll be in the Oakland CA

protest at noon CA time. No weather here.

[markie]

17. thinking of you and all

I am headed to Annapolis now... would prefer DC-- I need to pick up additional people along the way and we decided Annapolis needed people as well

[snacker]

18. Solidarity!

[dchill]

19. Respect.

[Escurumbele]

21. "As this administration will eventually feel threatened and will unleash violence upon us." Correct.

Dictatorships cannot exist without violence, people reject being ruled by autocrats, that is why dictatorships always turn violent.

The big question is, will the military collaborate with the regime, or will they reject it? If they oppose it then the wanna-be-dictators are out of government fast, otherwise? There will be a lot of violence.

[Grumpy Old Woman]

22. Heading Out Soon

I'm not very brave, but I figured if I didn't do something, everyone would think I'm OK with what's happening.

[Figarosmom]

23. I know you will

Stay safe and logical.

[KitFox]

24. I'll be leaving in about an hour. It's raining but I have plastic wrap

and clear tape over my signs. Meeting up with several friends there. We have choice of 3 rallies all within easy driving distance so that is encouraging to see. I attended my first protest while in college in the late 60’s so it’s still in this old hippie’s DNA!😁. Those of us who are lucky enough, health wise to be out there, know that if you can’t physically attend you are supportive in so many other ways. We are one in the spirit of resistance ! Love ya DU family ! 🩷

[Evolve Dammit]

25. Best to all attending today! Not My President Day.

[LoisB]

26. Stay safe.

[Clouds Passing]

27. Stay safe Dp. Thank you 😊

[electric_blue68]

28. Thank you to All Attending! Been thinking of the protesors since I've been up and sending good wishes.

I should go check my local radio news.

[Easterncedar]

29. Very cold but fiery rally here!

Hey, Mr Duncanpup, how was your protest? It was really great here in Augusta. Very encouraging, with a surprising turnout given the bitter cold and blustery conditions. There were clever signs, good speakers and good protest songs, and in all it was a well organized event, although over in 2 hours rather than the scheduled 4, to the dismay of later arrivals. At one point the singing was interrupted by a bald eagle flying low over head to great cheers. Whoever arranged that really outdid themselves.

[Passages]

30. Thank you.

I hope so too.

[blueseas]

32. Thank you

And thanks to all who help

[malaise]

33. Ari is covering the protests in a few

39. St. Paul

I didn't make it to the rally at the Capitol in St. Paul today, but close to 1000 brave souls did. I am so proud of that turnout, as the actual temperature was -4! The warmest it got today was -2. I must admit that at my age (76) the cold temps and the wind chill deterred me, although I WAS at the Capitol two weeks ago for the "50 for 50" (or, 50501) demonstration. With so much at stake here as well as around the world, we cannot let a little thing like weather keep us from making our voices heard. I expect these public demonstrations to continue and to grow. It is up to us.

43. Ty, I hope it went well 🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
