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 · 5h

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

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.

The MAGA crowd seems very triggered that yesterday’s protest was historic, their comments are everywhere. In total, 22 MAGA individuals were arrested for attempting to attack peaceful protesters. Arrests were made in OH, KY, CA, SC, NC, MI, OR, FL, VA, TX, and PA.

The local New Hampshire TV station is out of touch.
Or people aren't being honest on their expense reports.
