"On the worst kind of day (23 degrees and windy) over a thousand pissed-off people ... "

HaHa! Ellsworth Maine - minus 4 degrees Fahrenheit - reporting for duty. Over 50 people and one "Dog Against DOGE." Quite a crowd - for Ellsworth Maine. People from Mt. Desert Island and several towns on the mainland. Roads so icy that the buses were cancelled - that almost never happens. But ...

And as featured on Rachel Maddow!

Sorry these Comments don't allow me to attach photos. But ...

From Dr. Hook - wearing the same size cross as Trump's Press Secretary Barbie and wearing it better.

(And yes, our summertime MDI Leonard Leo protests have been listed as Things To Do on MDI, by ... Rolling Stone;)

Yesss! You can organize one at Indivisible.org. You will probably be surprised how many will sign up!

Thanks Steve for the update and tribute to protesters for democracy. Many mainstream news sources minimized or ignored this story as Musk-Trump has laid the foundation for a fascist

State in just four weeks and as Republicans in Congress betray their oath to defend the Constitution. Alas. Never capitulate.

Thanks again for a peek into the the mind of looney leftists. Protesting against the exposure of billions in taxpayer money being shoveled into leftist freak shows is great. Please don't get frostbite. We want you out there.

That is great! I think I’ve seen that people are trying to organize even bigger and better protests in mid March. Keep writing and calling your Congress Critters. I’m doing it twice a week. I hope next time there is a protest closer to me. Orlando and Atlanta were my choices and both are hours away by car.

Several hundred people were there. The usual hate-filled comments from trumpers after the article are disheartening but it was very encouraging to see the crowd. https://www.nvdaily.com/nvdaily/our-democracy-is-at-stake-hundreds-march-in-woodstock-to-protest-trump-administration/article_ab571b20-e7eb-52ba-aabe-cfa6655507c7.html
