They honestly make me more upset than the “die hards.”

Dave smith (Rogan buddy) apologizing and claiming he thought Trump was anti-war?? You believed a CERTIFIABLE liar???

TikTok mom influencers coming out and saying they regret it only after their fathers are deported and then asking for go fund donations for lawyers?? HE CAMPAIGNED ON MASS DEPORTATION.

They make me sick and I have little to no empathy.

I know that in order for our country to move forward there has to be some level of trying to gather these people to progressive voting in the future but my gosh- I may not be best suited for that effort. How in the heck can anyone talk to these people with a straight face??

Their admissions only make me want to scream in their face that they’re utter morons and embarrassments.

(Yes this is a rant post. End rant)

I've been feeling sad about how I wasn't able to show up to the No Kings protest on Saturday, so I've been brainstorming small ways to protest for now until the next one. I made some sticky notes that I'm going to put up in my small Trump-loving town in places that people will most likely see them. It's Leviticus 19:33-34. So far I got one up on a gas pump from when I got gas today. I actually taped it on there because the sticky stuff on sticky notes aren't sticky enough lol. Is this a form of vandalism? I hope not. The cops won't come for me, right? ....right? Anyways, let me know if you think this is a good idea or not, and if you have ideas for other things I can write!

From the Semaphore article: One of the companies, Instant Pot Brands, noted that “a portion of the profits from” its forthcoming collection “will be donated to the Trump Presidential Library.” Instant Pot, which makes kitchen and home appliances, said in its release that it will offer a “45/47 Collaboration,” including various items branded with those numbers and Trump’s “Make America Great Again” tagline.

Yes, you read that right. 6/11/25 I was protesting outside our local ICE facility in Spokane, WA. We were blocking a transport vehicle attempting to transport 2 detainees to the larger state facility in Tacoma Wa. They entered the US legally through asylum seeking. The 2 peoples in question had made all their appointments, had jobs paid taxes etc. 37 peoples in total were arrested. I was charged with local law “failure to disperse”. Most people were charged with that, except for 2 others were charged with false imprisonment. All of our phones were confiscated and we were told our phones would be off site at county property upon our release. When I and several others went to pick up our phones, we were told they had been turned over to the FBI. The agents number we were given went straight to voicemail and calls have not been returned to my lawyer or myself.

Don’t bring your phone to protests! Even with passwords and Face ID, the feds can easily get into your phone. They won’t find anything on my phone, no pics or videos of protesters that are incriminating. Just a bunch of photos of my cats. Still, I feel like my privacy has been gravely violated.

Peaceful civilians are being arrested for wearing masks during protests while ICE agents and riot police wear full facial coverings, hide their names, and refuse identification.

Trump backed new mask bans, claiming:

“If you’re not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to hide.”

Yet government agents are literally hiding their identities while dragging people off the streets.

This isn’t safety.
This is authoritarian control.

Your right to protest with a mask is protected by the Constitution.

1st Amendment – U.S. Constitution
Protects freedom of speech, peaceful assembly, and anonymous political expression.
Wearing a mask during protest is a symbolic act of protected political speech.
Read the full amendment (Cornell Law)

Legal Cases That Back You Up:

• McIntyre v. Ohio Elections Comm’n (1995):
  Supreme Court upheld anonymous political speech as protected.

  “Anonymity is a shield from the tyranny of the majority.”
  Read ruling

• NAACP v. Alabama (1958):
  Government can’t force disclosure of identity when it risks intimidation.
  Full decision

• American Knights of the KKK v. City of Goshen (1999):
  Court blocked a blanket mask ban, affirming mask-wearing can be political expression.

• Church of the American Knights v. Kerik (2004):
  Mask bans must be narrow and not suppress speech.
  Case summary

This is how fascism takes hold.

First, they arrest you for what you wear.
Next, it’s what you say.
Then it’s how you believe or who you are.

Today it’s a protest mask.
Tomorrow it’s a Pride flag.
Or a cultural clothing.
Or not being Christian.

This is state power targeting visibility and identity and it’s not random. It’s calculated.

You are not their subject. You are a citizen with rights.

They want obedience.
They want fear.
They want silence.

And that’s exactly why you must not give it to them.

We demand:

• An immediate end to unconstitutional protest mask bans
• A federal investigation into unmarked, masked agents arresting civilians
• Equal protection for protesters not just for the state

Resources:

• ACLU: Know Your Protest Rights
• EFF: Right to Mask in Public

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good people to do nothing.”
— Edmund Burke

This is not a time for silence.
This is not a time for fear.

This is the time to stand together.
