I just don't understand how to live amidst this. So angry and bewildered, all the time.

I'm interested, too.

You are exactly right! I get a lot of these "things" following me, too. I block em all! And thank you for the alert.

We won't make the national news bc our crowds were smaller & the photos aren't as impressive to ppl who aren't from here, but I rly hope that ppl in big cities understand that small cities and towns all over showed out today, too.

Some had their largest protests in living memory. Ppl are pissed.

after a clarinet player was arrested at Sunday's ICE protest in downtown Portland, I talked to five artists, crafters and makers - a puppet designer, an illustrator, a graphic designer, a knitter, and a theatre artist - about creativity under fascism

I don’t know how to sum up this moment in time in America, but here goes: I hung out with a frog protesting the brutal, fascist ICE facility in my community while listening to Public Enemy
