The Hands Off protests yesterday, which were (let's not mince the truth here) antifascist and pro-democracy rallies, have lifted my spirits in a way that has made me feel that we actually have more options available than we realize. And not just on the political front, but also on the personal front. We must not get in the habit of being doormats to this regime. Or, for that matter, to the subtly sinister parasites in life.

Here's a gallery of crowd photos from the April 5 #HandsOff protests across the U.S. today: https://slrpnk.net/post/20427098

Ohio, DC, Pennsylvania, Maryland, North Carolina, New York, Michigan, Massachusetts, and more being added.

Please reply with links to more photos and cities!

On Saturday April 5, protests against this regime are taking place across the U. S.

Look up Hands Off! or 50501 for details.

Here's the t-shirt I'm wearing at the protest.

Here is a good take for those that #protest and want to keep the people in your network safe from dragnets.

When you are not making good personal #security choices, you can implicate others.

Am especially on board with the mindset that it's not about provability in court. It's about keeping you and loved ones from incarceration and deportation.

@50501movement has lotsa people out protesting all over the place. It's not getting covered, for obv reasons, but also bc there's no violence or mayhem

This #Fascist junta needs & is waiting for violence in order to justify suspending the Constitution altogether, but waving my #AntiFascist sign & honking support is restorative af

Economic withdrawal from big corporate vendors is important too, but many of us haven't used #Amazon or #Facebook or #Twitter for a long time anyway

"Still the night and full of starlight,
And the frost burned on the land;
Do you still remember how I taught you
To hold a revolver in your hand?

A girl. a sheepskin and a beret.
In her hands she holds a gun,
A girl with her face as smooth as velvet
Keeps watch of the enemy’s caravan.

An aim, a shot right on the target,
Her small pistol had reached its mark,
An auto filled high with ammunition
Her shot had stopped it in the dark.

At dawn she crept out of the woodland,
With snowy garlands in her hair.
Encouraged by her little victory
For our future freer heirs."
