Sorry for going dark fora bit; I've been low on energy and a bit burned out. Lots to catch up on. In the meantime, y'all should be following this thread:

This. If you feel the need to post photos are videos, blur all of the faces.
If you go to a protest, don’t post pictures that show people’s faces.

This doesn't need to be said, but please don't use this service - even if it's cheap or convenient, please wait for an ethical competitor
This is not a suprise. This was well known. This is a call to boycott. #austin has a special job to make sure the June launch is a flop.

Bus ads, protest parties, billboards, the works! Not safe!

More than 900 people gathered Saturday morning in Lexington for what was billed as a People’s Town Hall.

Speakers addressed an empty chair on stage next to a sign that said “Reserved for Congressman Andy Barr.”

I'm running low on energy, but theblop's bot has all the energy in the world. If you see a protest flyer that's not listed, please send it in! Text/email image attachments to [email protected]

lmk what you'd like to see next on theblop. In the meantime, I'm working on a good joke 😉

So, how should theblop handle cancellations? With Schumer postponing his book tour, I marked all those protests as "CANCELLED?: "

Didn't want to just disappear them, but idk if the prefix was the right thing either. Did anyone go to one tonight? How many folks showed up?

Aaand, more new buttons for theblop.org! This time, trying to make it easier to share listings!

Y'all... So many protests, the big list is overflowing! Guess I'm gonna have to clean up some past-dates 😅

To the "not enough protesters" folks:

1. Protests occur simultaneously across our large and sparse nation. It all adds up

2. The US's largest protests haven't exceeded 500k people maybe ever

3. Even 10k+ people requires MONTHS of planning & logistics

It's happening. Slow your roll
March 17, 2025 at 6:53 PM
Oh hey, you can now add protests and events from theblop.org to your calendars!

I love this so much. Do this everywhere.
