Putting up these sticky notes in my red, Trump, Christian town as a small form of protest.
(r.50501.chat)
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.

I was arrested for peacefully protesting outside ICE facility and now FBI has my phone

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.
