I’m thinking the protest sign umbrella is the new fashion statement. Practical, multi-purpose, foldable, updatable tool for protesters everywhere.

@jojofromjerz.bsky.social JoJo, I have been reading your posts for years. Your “Fourth and the Fight” piece was the best you have ever done. Thank you for articulating so well what many of us are struggling to say in such a moving and inspiring way.

When I spent a few months in Australia, I learned that it is ILLEGAL to not vote. Election Day, you couldn’t walk 15 feet down the sidewalk without someone asking if you had voted yet. It was astounding.

Hundreds of people lining the street in little Bal Air, MD for No Kings rally. “Resist, Hon!” is a very Maryland expression.

What “state secrets” do you suppose? My guess: Trump regime has a deal to dismiss charges against Salvadorans who opposed their president and then promptly return them. Bukele gets his hands on them in exchange for tossing others in CECOT. That’s the “state secret” they don’t want made public.
