Sometimes life just plain gets in the way of the life I want! That life includes doing everything I can to stop Trump. There are still people out there who cannot see or believe that Trump is setting up to take over our nation as dictator, but they are only fooling themselves. TRUMP MUST BE STOPPED!
Love it that in Quartzite, AZ, population 2,400 (not including seasonal snowbirds), some true blues protested again Saturday. Quartzite's very red, even has a MAGA RV Park. Brave, wonderful people! Quartzite's near me & I would love to connect with these folks!

The protest yesterday in Phoenix at the state capitol was amazing. Haven't found any estimates on attendance, but there were a lot of people there. We were definitely seen & heard. Met with a lot of great people, including the lady with the sign and a Trump doll being dragged out of the Whitehouse!
No,this event is beginning much earlier -- at 9 am. I'm guessing it begins earlier because of the heat. It will start with speakers & testimonials, followed by the march & ending at noon. Hope you can make it thid protest or another location. You can check out other locations on the 50501 website.
Don't forget to write your POSTCARDS TO THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION and mail them tomorrow, April 18th. The Heritage Foundation is the group that wrote Project 25, and it is time that we begin to hold the Foundation accountable. Write up some postcards and let's tell them what we think! PLEASE REPOST!
There are a lot of Day of Action protests throughout Arizona on this Saturday, April 19th. You can look up locations on the 50501 website. I'll be at the one in Phoenix at the state capitol in the Wesley Bolin Plaza. Hope to meet you there. Organizers are hoping for 15 million protesters nationwide!
Friday is the day to mail POSTCARDS TO THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION, 214 Massachusetts Ave NE, Washington D.C. 20002-4999.
Let's tell them exactly how we feel about Project 2025 & the it's support of far right stupidity.
Have a sign making/postcard party! Get ready with signs for Saturday!
Listen to the entire speech by Singapore Prime Minister. Excellent description in clearly understood language of what Trump is doing to the global economy. If you weren't afraid before you watch this, you will be after you've heard it.

POSTCARDS TO THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION is an easy way to send a message for those who can't get to protests. An easy addition to our other actions for those who can. Simple, cheap and another way to be heard. Please take the time to send your message to the group that created Project 2025.
PLS REPOST!
Received comments about POSTCARDS TO THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION. No, it won't make the foundation shake in its boots. No, it won't make it change anything it's doing.
IT'S A MESSAGE! Like protests, calls, letters - messages to be heard. IT'S PRESSURE! Letting it know we see it & are fighting it!

A picture of Senator Cory Booker with a quote by him: “This is not right or left, it is right or wrong,” Mr. Booker said on Tuesday afternoon. “This is not a partisan moment. It is a moral moment. Where do you stand?”
This is a MORAL moment.
Where do YOU stand?
Thank you Senator Booker for stating it plainly.

I understand -- also have autoimmune disorders. We can only cope with the physical pain as best we can, & stand tall & keep fighting. Take care.
Great job U of AZ!
The posts about us old geezers at the Tesla protest were made weeks ago -- before the Take Down Tesla / Musk protests were attracting so many attendees. If there is someone at the Tesla Glendale AZ protest today, March 29th, who can post info on what's happening today, it would be much appreciated.
Yes -- just not immediately!
TRUMP WANTS TO BE DICTATOR. He is doing everything he can to achieve that. Protests MUST be peaceful -- no violence, vandalism, or fights. Don't give him an excuse to declare martial law, because at the first opportunity, he will do exactly that. Count on it. Do everything you can to keep the peace.
At the NO MONARCHY / NO OLIGARCHY protest, I also attended press conference by Dem reps asking Gov Hobbs to veto AZ SB 1164. Bill requires police hold suspects with immigration detainers & prohibits policies obstructing federal immigration policies. Tell Hobbs to veto: azgovernor.gov/office-arizo...
Take aways for other newbie protest organizers:
1) Weekday protests less attended than weekends;
2) Protest time no more than 2 hrs;
3) Send messages to attendees at least 3 days in advance;
4) Short, single topic messages using bullet points for info;
5) Clear instructions on meet up location.
