It's not perfect, but it will do in a pinch. I'm planning on being in Monument Square in #PortlandMaine at Noon. We'll see who else shows up.

Few more pics until we had to leave, but people were still coming in at that point (around 1pm).

I was at a protest of one today in #PortlandMaine (not the first time). Unfortunately, I wasn't there on #January20 because I was getting over being sick, but there was a great turnout that day.
And it seems #AugustaMaine had a decent turnout today as well, so that's good.
But even though I was there by myself, most folks who saw me were supportive, a few thanked me, and only one #MAGA-type said that my protest was "Bullshit!" To which I replied, "You'll find out soon enough."
I don't mind being a protest of one, but next time, I plan on bringing some pepper spray just in case, and some cash for unhoused folks - who were way more supportive than some of the well-off passerbys.

Protesters at #Florida Capitol join national movement pushing back against Trump
By: Jackie Llanos - February 5, 2025
"Roughly 300 people gathered in front of the old Florida Capitol in #TallahasseeFlorida Wednesday afternoon to protest the Trump administration, including the president’s actions against #immigrants and #transgender people.
"The protest, which went on for hours under the sun, was part of a nationwide movement that started online calling for 50 protests in 50 states on one day under the hashtag #50501.
"'We need to be loud,' Madalyn Propst, a lead organizer of the protest with the climate activism group #SunriseTallahassee, told the growing crowd as the protest began. She told the Florida Phoenix that organizing the event, which drew people from other parts of the state, had required a quick turnaround.
"Protesters held signs bashing President Donald Trump and #ElonMusk, plus #Project2025, which is the #HeritageFoundation’s strategy for the administration. Other signs called for the protection of #immigrants, #LGBTQ people, #ReproductiveRights, and the #Environment."

Hundreds turn out at #Michigan Capitol rally tied to national #AntiTrump movement
by Ken Palmer, February 5, 2025
"Speakers generally did not identify themselves as part of a particular political organization, but they included State Sen. Jeremy Moss, D-Southfield, who spoke of protecting #LGBTQ rights, and Abdul El-Sayed, director of the Wayne County Department of Health, Human and Veterans Services, who said he was acting in a personal capacity.
"'(It's) about damn time that we showed up, stood up and took our goverment back,' said El-Sayed, who railed against Trump's actions to freeze federal money for things such as #HealthCenters, #MentalHealthServices and the #WIC program, or Special Supplmental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children.
"Another speaker urged protestors to 'flood the phone lines' of elected officials to register their concerns.
"'A lot of us are here because we understand the danger we are facing, and we know that today is the time to act,' she said. 'We will not sit on the sidelines and watch as our rights are ripped way and the billionnaires dismantle our democracy, stripping it for parts.'"

Hundreds rally against #Trump agenda at #NewHampshire state house
Hundreds of people rallied in front of the State House on Wednesday, February 5, 2025 as part of the national movement to protest the #Project2025.
"Protesters have taken issue with several recent actions by Trump and his administration and are urging federal workers not to comply with the president’s incentive to resign.
"The national movement — 50 States, 50 Protests, 1 Day — has gained traction on social media. It seeks to fight #fascism and support #HumanRights through protests at every state capitol building.
"Graham Baker of East Wakefield expressed frustration with what he called an overreach by the Trump administration, especially in regards to access to federal payment systems granted to #ElonMusk. ;I’m just shocked at … how it’s been done by an unelected oligarch with a couple handful of minions who are all up there, taking personnel records, going through them specifically looking for a purity purge. This is all the stuff which is outlined in Project 2025.'
"The state capitol protests coincided with a rally in Washington where hundreds of supporters of the U.S. aid agency protested the dismantling of the independent government agency."

'This is our country:' Anti-Trump protesters march at the #RhodeIsland State House. What they said.
by Katherine Gregg, #Providence Journal, February 5, 2025
PROVIDENCE – "Several hundred anti-President Donald Trump demonstrators, responding to an online call for protests at the capitals in all 50 states at noon on Wednesday, marched around the Rhode Island State House chanting 'Hey hey, ho, ho, Elon Musk has got to go.'
"Similar chants went up at other rallies on Wednesday, including New York where protestors chanted '#DeportElon!' and Georgia, where protesters carried signs with messages like '#StopMusksSteal' and '#NoKingsInTheUSA.'"
One protestor said:
"They hate the Black people. They hate the Mexican people. They hate trans people. They hate women. They hate everything that is not white male and Republican. This is a country of people. We are all different. Thank God," she said, urging the crowd to "keep the pressure on ... get involved with a local organization."
"I know that we're all overwhelmed," she said. "They want you to pay attention to the breaking news because they know that it incapacitates you. It gets you worried. It gets you silent and that is not acceptable at this time. This is our country."
