So today there was an organized national protest opposing trump/Musk's attacks on our federal infrastructure and our legal migrants called Hands Off, and a local event in nearby Lakeland FL was on the calendar for 1:00 PM so I decided to contribute with my presence for an hour.
Parking downtown was intriguingly tight today, so by that metric turnout seemed pretty good. I've seen the videoclips of the marches in the major cities like New York City, Washington DC, Boston, Chicago, and... is that Salt Lake City? Did someone get video from Anchorage by any chance?
It's nice to witness that there's still more Americans siding with you against the corruption and stupidity of the trump regime. It'd just be nicer if the f-cking mainstream media will recognize that these anti-trump protests are bigger and better organized than those staged tea party ragefests the billionaires set up during Obama's tenure. /sigh
Anywho, here's a few photos and videos I took at the Lakeland rally.
I should have made a sign that noted NO ONE VOTED 4 ELON but I didn't think to do so, alas.
I hope your protests went well today.
Keep fighting.

There were a couple of hundred folks down in Oakhurst for the protest. First protest I'd attended since the Iraq war, and since my stroke. We stayed about an hour, and there were more supportive passers-by than opposition. Highlight: the lady standing in front of me yelled "I'll pray for you" to the driver of a passing SUV who had flipped us off. Google says that Oakhurst has a population of less than 5K. We came from all over the place.

Thank you, Doug! I hope it wasn't an inconvenience for you.
Also, dump all Tesla stock. Tell your friends.
