“They’re dismantling our country. They’re looting our government. And they think we’ll just watch.”

I went to the one in my small city in SC. Had a few hundred people along a decently busy road. I was pleasantly surprised as hundreds of passing cars showed support over the 2 hours we were there, and only a dozen or so expressed opposition. I was not surprised that a majority of passers-by didn’t engage at all though. The real majority in this country is not left or right, it’s apathy.
Hi Americans, the letter ø is a Danish/Norwegian letter, and for your information ØF is the sound a pig makes. And Øffer is a pork-rind snack named after that sound.

So when you write hands Øff, it’s kind of hilarious.
(edit) But maybe it’s to illustrate the way Trump speaks, as one commenter suggested. 😜
Edit 2: Yes I know it’s to emphasize “NO”, I was just having a bit of fun…
Pretty sure they’re just playing on the “do not touch” style signs, not trying to use a random letter from another language.
That would be 🚫 not Ø.
Can’t you tell the difference?Agreed. More like Ghostbusters, less like Scandinavian literature.
Is there someone we can call to exterminate the Trumpettes?
but Trump is a pig
Good point. 👍 😋
Yeah, it still kind of works.
It’s a crossed out English letter O.
So it really just says FF?
No, it’s more like it’s utilizing the O to provide an emphatic doubling down on the concept of “No,” “Hands Off,” “Don’t do what you are doing,” and so on. It’s not a particularly skillful demonstration of graphic design ability or grammar.
🚫 has the line left to right within the ring. And is a symbol that universally means no.
That’s the standard version. The slash going the other way is nonstandard, but still common. Example: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-10-in-x-14-in-Aluminum-No-Smoking-Sign-31054/304304482
This, especially, is a stylistic choice. Perhaps it’s also based on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slashed_zero, or one of the other similar symbols: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ø_(disambiguation)
It’s the same in Danish. It’s to indicate that it’s not an O /s
The red slash through a circle means “NO”, although they have it going in the opposite direction there. I guess it doesn’t really make a lot sense in that context either.

🚫
Exactly, you make the diagonal line left to right, then it’s a symbol that means no.
If you make ö or ø or Å those symbols are letters.Not in English they aren’t. I presume you can tell this sign is in English.
You guys should stop using the word “slut” then.
(This is an equally silly suggestion)
I’m in super red Cookeville TN and there were tons of people at the courthouse. Kind of shocking tbh.
You didnt join them?
Honestly, we were there for a soccer tournament for be son. So we were driving to the game. But seeing this protest gave us life.
:)
They are big crowds. Small towns. Big cities. Old people, young people.
The important part is remembering one thing. There are more of us than there are of the ones in power.
Far, far, far more.
“Mission accomplished”
Thanks for raising awareness or whatever
every time I see these I have no idea about it until it’s actually happening. I’d love to join and stand up for what’s right but I have no idea how to find these before they actually start lol
Also here on Lemmy:

Thank you for sharing those.
Went to mine and there was a 350+ person turn out in a small red town. We were all out there as it hailed on us and we were harassed by Trump voters. Doing what we can.
Keep it up 💪
👊🇺🇸🔥
A small protest in a red place is likely more meaningful than a large one in a blue. Thanks for getting out there.
As I said to my girlfriend today, a honk from a single pick-up truck is worth the honks from two EVs.
That is to say,
I expect the EVs to honk, but pick-up trucks can go either way. Therefore, their support feels more precious and exciting.
Thank you 🙏
The Manhattan one was pretty big today.
Saw one counter protestor, who oddly was a black woman. She didn’t seem entirely well based on what she said when people talked to her
Quisling?
More likely, one of the many people with untreated mental disorders. Mental health is not a priority for our society.
You’re right, it definitely isn’t.
Huge turnout.
Major cities: https://m.ai6yr.org/@ai6yr/114288115617938919 and small towns all over
Boston probably had somewhere around 50k people. Don’t hear the news media talking numbers or even showing the full crowd. Figures.
Unfortunately it seems like the Democratic Party is doing their best to co-opt the movement with messages like votes, fight with the judiciary, and use politics to obstruct. Look I get it’s the right thing for them to say…
But let’s make sure a populist movement pushes the party way to the left like the much much smaller tea party movement did to the right.
Thanks for posting. This highlights a bit better the size.
And only marginal news coverage… remember when a bunch of geriatrics were role playing as revolutionaries and talking about Obama. Billionaire class owns the media and the parties
Yep the vanguard are making a showing this weekend - if this is the start I’m liking where we’re headed. Canadians pay attention, I know you’ve been looking for signs of life. I hope this helps you guys relax even a tiny bit.
I was in Anacortes, WA today for a memorial service of a friend and saw these people! I was honking and giving them thumbs up and everyone in the car was clapping. Yes it’s ironic that I’m in a Tesla. It’s 6 years old, and we cannot sell it because it’s paid off and wayyyy cheaper in WA to charge the car at home vs gas.
Nothing wrong with having bought a Tesla 6 years ago. I hope you’ve got a sticker of some kind on it saying as much.
We had a really good crowd in my purple area of a red state! People of all ages. Lots of good signs. I need to make something good for the next one.
