If the National Guard is really in D.C. to protect federal
property, they should probably have been at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. two days ago

I’m disgusted by the photos of Ttump’s demolition at the East Wing, but I’m even more sickened by the renderings of his mar-a-lago ballroom dwarfing our White House. Once we’re rid of this despicable man, that ballroom must also be removed.

If you’re attending this weekend’s #NoKings protest, make sure you Know Your Rights! The @aclu.org has this handy guide and graphics. https://www.aclu.org/know-your-rights/protesters-rights
The text from the image is: **KNOW YOUR PROTEST RIGHTS:** 1. You don't need a **permit** to protest in streets or on sidewalks if you're not obstructing traffic or access to buildings. 2. You have the **right to photograph** anything in plain view, including police. 3. If stopped by the police, **ask if you're free to go**. If yes, calmly walk away. 4. If arrested, **ask for a lawyer immediately**. Don't sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present. There is also a "KNOW YOUR RIGHTS" logo and the **ACLU** logo at the bottom.

β€œComely Reader! I suggest we all start wearing the paper clip. Subtler than a red hat, more powerful as a CONNECTION,” @ejeancarroll.bsky.social
wrote, explaining they were also worn during World War II as a sign of resistance against the Nazis.

#PaperClipCampaign
Join Us: Paper Clip Protest Let's all start wearing paper clips. During World War Il, people wore paper clips as a powerful symbol of resistance against the Nazis. Norwegian teachers and students attached them to their lapels, symbolizing solidarity that connected them just like paper clips hold papers together. Today, we wear the paper clip for the same purpose. It acts as a quiet yet strong signal to others that we are united, that we oppose the takeover of our country by a petty tyrant, and that we are standing firm against the destruction of our democracy. Wherever you go, when you see a paper clip on someone's lapel, you'll know you have an ally.
