There's a lot of us planning on there being a future reckoning.
Document, document... take notes on the things you witness.

OMG, this has been going on for months!!

I suppose you could try a word search. Someone out there programs web crawlers, though, and that would be a VERY useful person to know for this sort of project!
😂😂

😂❤️ Thanks for documenting that!!

You've got it!
I have the same concerns - since I started the NH calendar.

😎 I'll ask the person who does the emails to send it to you. I enjoy not needing to read thru those!

That whole 'pin to the top' was very useful, but I could see where page 7 of a thread gets missed.

On a different app, we created an "Announcements" account. It's only outgoing messaging. 🤷‍♀️

So glad you made it!! (And, very appreciative of your videos! I usually forget during the event.)

Our (much smaller) "core group" of protesters will be back out again next Sunday for our weekly Civil Rights Sunday event.

I do my bit for Occupy. 😎 Yes, I'm one of a handful of people who organize things and try to keep the protests safe and fun. Follow the bubble trail, and you'll likely find me in the crowd.

Maybe the NYT was hacked.

Don't recall the last time I updated my NYT app login, I usually use the computer. I opened my app for the 1st time in ages, and it says my p/w was changed.

Did you have fun on Saturday @ No Kings 2?
Well, there are more options - just about every single day!

Our 26-year-old autistic son made a sign for us to bring to the rally in Portsmouth, NH, today, and we found some celebrity spokespeople to pose with it.

Seacoast area of ME & Portsmouth NH had thousands show up. Both sides of streets were lined up to noisily cheer as cars drove by. Many folks hit shops & restaurants after, myself included. A couple cops commented the crowds just calmly dissipated at 3p. "Yep, as always. We're a peaceful bunch."

Yes, people just meander off at the end of the event.
😂
Try, though, to beat the early birds on the day of a national action. 😂😂 People are looking for the best spot to watch from - and show off their messages!

Jo @handyauntjo.bsky.social · 1d

Yes, there is competition for a good location at these rallies, and we have people that show up quite early for them! 😂

Jo @handyauntjo.bsky.social · 1d

True that.

Even this was before the Leftist Marching Band showed up. That's when the party *really* started! 😀

Glad you came out and took some video!!

Oh, that was very early!!

It's always a party wherever the #LeftistMarchingBand goes!

We're always happy to have fun with them. Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm!

Oops! Sorry!
Occupy Seacoast cancelled the Portsmouth, NH Civil Rights Sunday event on the 19th because we get kinda worn out on those big national events.

We will be back to our regular Sunday schedule next week. Also, when Daylight Savings Time starts, we change our event time to a 3pm start!

We donned our Antifascist lobster costumes and joined the No Kings protest in Portsmouth NH. ICE agents were terrified.
