Some photos from today's belated 50501 / #Indivisible / #HandsOff #protest and march in #Memphis #Tennessee! (Last week was postponed due to tornadoes and flooding.)

There was a boisterous crowd of several hundred awesome people, plus a few radical leftist good dogs. Signs spanned all the topics: #Trump, #ElonMusk, #DOGE, #Ukraine, #xAI, #SocialSecurity, the #IRS, #science...

We are having a party for democracy here in San Jose. #resist #uspol #indivisible #handsoff

The train to the #HandsOff protest in San Jose is packed! At every stop, more sign carrying passengers squeeze in and everyone cheers and claps as they climb in.

Let’s go! #uspol #indivisible

Some reflections about today at the #HandsOff rally in #Atlanta.

I admittedly was feeling a bit hopeless. All the messages of terribleness from family and friends this week (from gov't firings, programs shutting down, etc), my literal life savings getting hit by these stupid tariffs, and well, I felt like a rowboat in stormy seas.

But my god, the number of people who showed up at Piedmont Park and marched - miles of patriotic Americans - marching to the GA State Capital. All the signs, the energy, the chants, the marching bands.

The energy was great, the mood was intense but focused, and seeing the sea of Americans at the end of the march brought tears to my eyes.

The media showed up too - documenting to everyone that this for real.

And during this, all the organizing on Mastodon, on Bluesky, the work of #Indivisible Atlanta (esp. Kimberly Krautter) has been inspiring beyond words.

We've got a political and social movement, folks. There is a long way to go to fixing what is so terribly broken, but activating people for political action is Step 1 in that struggle.

Senator Schiff’s early votes to confirm some cabinet-level nominees have caused great concern among constituents. However, we haven’t been able to reach the senator or his staff in person or by phone to voice those concerns. We’ve only been able to leave voicemails, and some of us have received boilerplate responses to email.

Please contact Senator Schiff and tell him: improve your communications & stop voting for the Trump agenda!
