I was placard-focused at the #TransRights #protest today to avoid sharing faces - fortunately there was a strong and sassy sign game! And #Blåhaj too!
Thank you to the friends I was with, really good to be at this protest, and with great people

I've been seeing a lot of creative #ProtestSigns. Many of which made me nod, some of which made me smile, and a few of which made me laugh out loud. This one made me tear up.

I was still a girl when the first #StarWars movie came out. The first Halloween costume I made for myself was a Princess Leia outfit. That character was one of the first strong female heroes I'd encountered.

"A woman's place is in the resistance." Indeed it is.

"Americans as individuals seem suddenly willing in larger numbers to “meet the moment.” More & more people are acting as they might sometime be asked, “What did you do, when it mattered?” And they’ll have an answer.

They’re showing up at rallies, at polling places, at Congressional town halls even when their Reps are afraid to. That can’t immediately stop #Doge or the #tariffs or the #MAGA tax cuts. But it throws sand in the gears, & signals a change."

"many major #media outlets seemed intent on downplaying the size and significance of the massive demonstration of opposition.
