You can see why it might shock. Most signs are built on raising energy, having a sense of humour, or just very direct things like "MELT ICE" etc - attempts to be light and clever.

I made no attempt to be light, or clever. Black on white, sharp reality.

(And a little text design. I have an art degree, it can't be helped.)

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.

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.

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".
