#GVerse Portland, Oregon Resists! #HandsOff!

submitted 11 hours ago • 140 comments

Jefferson County Missouri (very red) held it's Hands off rally on an overpass of hwy 55. Our spirits were not dampened by the cold pouring rain and wind, ~350 folks attended. It was great to be among like-minded people who want to stop the corrupt authoritarian takeover of our Democracy!

Great showing at Missoula's Hands Off rally today! It was an honor to get to speak briefly, and to introduce the folks doing amazing work on the ground here in Missoula.

We’ve been shaming people for the last nine years. How has that worked out? Do we have less bigotry now? I would submit we don’t. We need a better strategy.

I hate shit like this. Can we focus on the things he does rather than his appearance/age/odor? The elders in our lives can hear us when we criticize his frailty and his odor. But please feel free to criticize his complete incompetence all you want!

This kind of thing is understandable, but not helpful. It overlooks the ways in which we’re all connected to one another (whether we like it or not).

“The American age is over. And it ended because the American people were no longer worthy of it.” All of us had a part to play.

They feel safe to speak about this because Mike Johnson will never allow it to go to a vote in the House
