rain’s coming in, not too bad yet, elderly starting to peel off a little tho

crowd’s kinda melted in the rain but still holdouts and cars are enthusiastic

also i liked this sign

I didn't take pics of it but a lot of people went to the street fair after (and technically during) so

well done food trucks and booth people

I am told that Kenmore turnout was also very good, very loud. I stayed at Bothell because of the rain (to be one more person after the crowds melted) so didn't see it firsthand. But my sources are good, so.

Gonna hit Lake Forest Park later, rain or no, I'll make that its own thread.

A few more decent crowd pics for HEY WHITE SUPREMACISTS AND WHITE NATIONALISTS, LOOK AT ALL THE WHITE PEOPLE WHO WANT YOU TO GO FUCK YOURSELVES purposes

which is important

i mean, let's be real, the biggest reason republicans can do all this shit and still tell themselves they support the republic is that they think ONLY WHITE PEOPLE COUNT.

that's another reason i hit protests like bothell. bothell is overwhelmingly white (80%, w/10% Asian, <2% Black), and they loathe this guy and everything he stands for.

it's good to remind them that trump did NOT win the white vote here.

(hell, in 2016, he didn't even win non-college-educated white men. STATEWIDE. Even including places like Spokane "White Christian Ethnostate Now!" Valley. if exit polls are to be believed, of course.)

That kind of shit rattles 'em. It _has_ to.

Anyway, I think that's it for this thread.

Lake Forest Park starts 3:30. See y'there.

I'm thinking we're going to join a smaller town protest next time for this reason.
See you in Bothell!

@moira

Hey, have pity on us! Some of us are still hoarse from telling Ronald Reagan to go fuck himself. 😄

@jztusk it’s not a criticism, elderly have more health issues and _should_ take care

@moira

I was just having fun. Sorry if it seemed like I was actually taking offense.

I might still qualify as "late middle aged", and was impressed with the number of genuinely elderly folks who showed up here in Boston. I got chatting with someone my age about marching for abortion rights in the 80s, but I think some of the folks around us fought against the Vietnam war.

@jztusk I didn't read it as _offended_, just more "we try!" and I was going "I know! It's okay!" ^_^

@moira

Text-only communication is so difficult!!! 🤣

@moira
Yay, Bothell! My old stomping grounds!
@moira hey. Not sure about the US, but I suggest you hide or blur visible faces, even for a peaceful protest. Even though it's a public event, those pictures may be used against the people showing up. Mastodon data is public, and you can be sure it's being scraped and scrutinized...

@Gilou Not my first time on this merry go around, and not that kind of protest.

Plus, we need white people faces IN PARTICULAR. The visibility _is the point_. And any portrait shots got asked.

Also also, oppo was there photographing anyway.
