So the Bothell protest was pretty decent given less than 24 hours notice. (It didn't show up in the list until late afternoon yesterday.) A little bigger than the "no war in Iran" protests during Cheeto's first term? And that had some lead up to it.

The side of my sign I built specifically to shock the conscience (see replies) succeeded in shocking at least _some_ consciences. To wit, I saw one full mouth-drop gape of horror when it hit, and, get this:

I had a _cop_ see it, look grim, nod, and wave approval from their patrol car.

This one's different, folks. It's different for the wrong reasons, but it's still different. And that's good.

(1/?)

There are more protests through the weekend. Find yours. Turn out. We need numbers, and we will need numbers - building numbers - from here on out.

Basically, GET USED TO TURNING OUT ON SHORT NOTICE.

It's going to be important. I've got some ideas about what they're going to try to do to hold onto power, not based their history to date. It's going to take a lot to stop them, and we're going to have to be ready. I'll probably wrote about them over on @solarbird but you can follow that from here if you want.

Next post has the sign, behind a CW.

In two fonts, words in capital letters in IMPACT, words in lower case in forte, a marker-felt calligraphy font, with variable character size and placement to imply emphasis: "the ICE man SHOT HER FACE and called her a F*CKING BITCH as she died" Black on white, made by me last night.

These are back sides. I rotate them forward when traffic is moving at speed, since they're very short and very easy to read.

Those middle three words can be swapped out over and over again. I went with the "recruits white nationalists" but seriously, you can make any number of these, and maybe I will.

All of these signs are 11x17. You can print them across two pieces of letter paper and it'll work fine. I can share, if people want.

Anyway. This is a two-day event. Find something near you, get out there. And get into the habit, 2026 is going to be nasty.

(5/5 probably, I have to go to the grocery before it rains)

IMPACT and forte, black on white, giant word ICE in impact caps, "you're dead, liberal" in lower-case but still impact, one word per line, very large. Next to those words, a very large QR code legible (and scan-able) from a distance, linking to a story covering that actual statement. Underneath, in forte, "that's how you know it's a fascist militia".
