Thousands and thousands of people at Civic Center SF, @indivisible.org organizers doing a great job teaching people why confronting aggressive counter protesters ( I haven’t seen any) plays into the autocrat playbook

See Don, that's the difference between a protest and an insurrection; no violence. Someone who knows what groceries are should be able to figure out the difference.
In Butte, MT, over 300 enthusiastic participants. Only a few flip-offs driving by. Also, a few gunning diesels to cover us in black smoke. We smiled at them. Mostly joyous honking and thumbs up!
💯 agree. When Minneapolis had a big peaceful protest for George Floyd, outside agitators showed up and started fires and broke windows, then all hell broke loose. This is another reason having so many people capturing videos is so important. Need to capture the antagonists on camera for evidence.
Mt. View March along El Camino. Birds flipped from 2 cars, one w/ Tenn plates, other w/ Florida plates. Man on the street in Navy shirt w/ eye patch, tried to negatively engage. Such winners! Oh, & female at start announcing she was taking facial photos of protestors; don't think for her scrapbook.✌️
>>> Act in such a way that Future You will be *proud* of your answer when ensuing generations ask: "What did YOU do?" in this perilous, pivotal moment.
RESIST! For as long as it takes.

@msnbc.com @foxnews.com.web.brid.gy @cnn.com @theguardian.com @axios.com @washingtonpost.com @nytimes.com @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social are you all going to actually do journalism or are modern outlets like @underthedesknews.bsky.social and @meidastouch.com going to have to do the job you aren’t?!
this is so important! i hope the organizers follow thru and that tons of people show up again! Maybe even once a month huge protests, cuz it does take alot of energy to do protests and people should not burn out...
We are at the moment when our lives must be placed on the line if our nation is to survive its own folly. Every man of humane convictions must decide on the protest that best suits his convictions, but we must all protest.

Protests today won’t bother orange hair,
Because he really doesn’t care!
But we know that you old fuddy duddy!
We are actually after your congressional buddies!
One and done they will hear us say!
Better get off your duffs or you will pay!
KUDOS to all the good people that were part of the mass protests today. SHAME on the networks (save ABC) for basically ignoring them. HOPE that this only galvanizes our determination to make our voices heard. Protest or acquiesce!!
Something really weird happened in NYC today: Our notoriously anti-protest NYPD just didn’t show up at all. Because I’m deeply suspicious, I find this sinister AF. But it was so nice for the protest!
We had about 3000 here in Walnut Creek. No issues other than two smart ass teenage boys in MAGA shirts smirking at everyone. They were completely ignored.
NOT Mentioned in the SF Gate (sports rag now) or SF Chronicle!!
The Chronicle covered Oakland as if it's the only March that happened.
SLO County allowed a March for 1,000 people 2 long city blocks until 1:30pm. Organizers expected 3-5,000
That's Freedom of Speech in SLO Co
Here in Buffalo NY we encountered 5 cars of counter protesters. The protesters yelled “Shame! Shame! Shame!” And the counter protesters left within 10 minutes.
Yeah I haven't heard any mention of counterprotestors all day.
I wonder if MAGA is off in their own little world and didn't know what was going to happen today or bought in to their BS about thinking they were the majority and so didn't expect a major turnout?
I saw two red hats when I first arrived, but you could tell they were just there for clicks on their BS videos. Brand spanking new hats, trying to rile up, but no one engaged!
Thank you for posting about this protest. I’m an organizer with 50501 SF and we couldn’t have done it without https://indivisiblesf.org. We’re thrilled with the turnout and how well it all went. Thanks to all who came out!

MAGA probably figured out they screwed up.
we didn’t go because of friends immigration status, but That’s a big intersection near the highway that they would be blocking

What struck me is how angry #maga still is. They won, after all. They're getting what they voted for. Why are they still mad? #handsoff

Each and every one of Donald Trump’s golf courses... like the one he’s hiding from the rest of the world at this weekend.
What are they gonna do - turn on the sprinklers?
