“The arresting officer, Andrew Babb, complained the giant inflatable member was causing a public spectacle and potential traffic hazard in the family-friendly Gulf town. When Gamble refused to “deflate” and remove the costume, things got physical: officers took the 62-year-old to the ground and cuffed her, struggling comically to subdue and stuff the oversized erection into a squad car.”

But it's *competitive* authoritarianism! - Lawyers, Guns & Money

Some of Orban’s American apologists have developed the thin tautology that because Orban lost an election he could not have been any kind of authoritarian: One important piece of context here is that Magyar appeared on state media in the wake of his victory this was his first appearance in 18 months: Hungary’s prime minister-elect […]

Wednesday afternoon rush hour Honk 'n Wave at Route 1 and East-West Highway · Mobilize

Indivisible Route 1 Corridor invites you to join our weekly Wednesday afternoon honk 'n wave (aka sign wave) at the intersection of Route 1 and East-West Highway (MD-410) in PG County. Our BIG, **bold**, colorful, and thought-provoking signs on a broad range of current issues--as well as some of our attendees in blowups or costumes--elicit an *insane* amount of honks, smiles, and thumbs up from passing motorists. We turn that normally placid intersection into a wild carnival of resistance to the Regime. Give it a try, we guarantee you will walk away feeling politically empowered! Being visible out on the sidewalks gives other people hope and the sense that they are not alone. While someone beeping their horn or giving a thumbs up may seem like an insignificant gesture, for some just taking that t-i-n-y step may be the first time they realize “Hmm, I actually agree with what they’re saying...” And who knows, their honk may influence the nonresponsive driver next to them. We always bring out a bunch of cool signs but bring your own if you prefer. Sunglasses, a hat, and drinking water recommended. Local street parking is available nearby, but you can also park at the Church of the Brethren parking lot 2 blocks north on Route 1 at Tuckerman. We do cancel if rainy/icy weather. *A core principle behind all Indivisible events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.*
