Shout out to all the #NoKings protesters today in small towns and cities.
Sometimes it feels like there’s not much that can be done from the periphery. But flexing these muscles is vital to the movement.
Power to the small massive!

in reply to Alexander Karn • • •We had 3 people total in our protest. I bet 300 people saw our messaging, and about half of them gave us thumbs up, honked and waved, or shouted encouragement. Only 5 people openly supported Trump, and I think I changed one of their minds when he came back and parked to debate me. This is in a small town in a red state in the deep south. We made a difference today, and it felt awesome! I hope others take encouragement from this. If you're sitting on the fence, go for it! SHOW UP! Even that tiny contribution can have a huge impact. You encourage and draw attention to those who are more vocal with your mere presence. This was my first protest ever, and I am so glad I went!

in reply to cybervegan • • •@cybervegan @SyHoekstra I feel like, being autistic, we are way more likely to end up at things like this. So many of our common traits predispose us to it. Strong sense of social justice, refusal to conform based on mere popularity, always being the outsider so we are used to it... Honestly, we are probably way more likely to run into other autistic people when we protest than at other times.
I am 100% certain that at *least* one of the other 2 protesters with me yesterday was neurodivergent. One of them was so blatantly so that I was genuinely surprised he didn't pipe up after I mentioned I'm autistic.

Thank you for you and your fellow protestors! We need your voices as well. You probably showed multiple people that they are actually not alone and others sharebtheir disgust with this regime!

in reply to Looking for explanations… • • •I'm excited about those big crowds, too! But in these small towns is where they most need to hear about it.
I am so fucking proud of my nation today, regardless. Turning out, standing in solidarity, saying no to tyranny. I have hope again! And wow, do I have goosebumps when I look at all the pictures under the #NoKings hashtag.

Exactly, and I admire your bravery I doing so.
I’m in Australia and just scrolling through the stuff boosted by people on my favourites list has taken ages , and given me such a lift.

in reply to Aaron • • •Glad you had a good time out and about with others today as well Arron !
You are so right.
I also keep seeing the same people at similar places I think my county only has about 120,000 people. I think half the population will be affected by this big beautiful bullshit.
Have a good night! 💤
Take care!

in reply to Aaron • • •You know Aaron, your experience today was very similar to what I experienced in the 1960s when we first started demonstrating against Nixon. And it gradually grows. Some of the people who saw you today and agreed with you will come the next time. You did a courageous thing my friend. This is how we preserve our democracy and our country. Well done.

It also means a lot to those of us in countries under threat from your President. (I'm in Canada).
It's much easier for me to tell people "not all Americans", when we see the numbers on the street.

This is the power of local protests. Locals see their fellow locals protesting. People they know and trust. It isn't a protest far away by some far off other people. I's by people they know and trust.
