I live just east of Annapolis - across the bridge on the finer shore as they say. Last Friday, I was driving to BWI. I was so excited to see these lovely ladies on the overpass on 50. Their sign said, "Honk to Stop Cuts!" I laid on my horn and had the biggest smile on my face. SO excited to see them! I co-founded an Indivisible group in our area - the only red district in MD. Seeing any resistance just makes my heart so happy!
That is wonderful!! Are you on Kent island or further out?
I grew up in PG county and am very familiar with Route 50. My brother lives in "South" (Anne Arundel) County and he participated in a visibility protest at the Annapolis Mall that I found for him. (I live in Charlotte NC now).
I should check and find the nearest Indivisible group to him and encourage him to join. It's party of my bossy big sister persona!! ;-)
KI - I believe there are two in AACO. We went to a protest at Annapolis Mall, too, back in April. There were so many people there. And besides a few Trumpers, we had lots of support.
You missed the news about the buffalo in Colorado. They are now protected so that they CAN NOT be killed just because they crossed the border from a state where they are protected.
We ran our 14th Tesla Takedown protest today. One of our number calculated that in a 2-hour period, roughly 3,600 cars pass us and see our signs. That means we’ve given hope and courage to possibly 30,000+ passersby just in our neighborhood alone. Jessica, your efforts keep us hopeful and strong, and I hope that ours do the same for you. The spirit of America is alive and well inside of us. 🇺🇸
Hey Reese! I’m in Los Angeles. There are two that run every weekend - one at a mall and one on the sidewalk in front of a dealership (that’s ours). Glad to know they are going on coast to coast! Won’t stop until they give our country back. Happy Memorial Day!
Thanks for the response. Yep, that’s both coats—California and Virginia. Our local Indivisible has been organizing ours. I think the protests help shame owners and prospective buyers. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK! We’re in this together, from sea to shining sea.
I have been leading a Visibility Brigade in Easton PA since March. Messaging every week is empowering. Thank you for highlighting our actions which help us grow. Each VB group is local and small, but together, we are mighty.
What a fantastic list! Thank you for covering the news that the mainstream media finds unimportant, but especially aggregated in a list like this makes us all feel so much better! Keep going!
Yeah I keep reading about how NY is turning red - hopefully the Nov election results were an aberation and not a harbinger for the future!! But the NY Democratic party still has some work to do!!
Your extra extra came to my inbox just when I needed it most. I got a chuckle from the Jim Jordan video 🤣. Loved that Colorado got mentioned for passing the Kelly Loving Act. Several of us moms with trans kids provided testimony at the state house and senate. Bread and Roses Legal Center, a small but mighty nonprofit brought this bill to the legislature. Never underestimate what a few determined people can do!
And thank you for yours!!! You may (or may not) know that the advocates at Bread and Roses legal center were doxxed, received death threats and on the day the bill went to senate, had their laptops stolen. Throughout it all, the major players kept cool, persevered and never backed down to the bullies. Such an inspiring group of humans!! Also check out 9 News Kyle Clark’s reporting of MAGA pastors bearing false witness on what this bill is about. Here in Colorado we love him for holding dishonest people’s feet to the 🔥.

Thank you for lifting my spirits today and for all you to do help us endure this corrupt administration. I couldn’t do it without you.
Thank you Jessica- good news is always welcome!🙏
After reading through this I feel so much more encouraged that we can stop the cruelty and madness. Thank you!
I’m so glad!
Thank you so much, Jessica! I look forward to Mondays because of this weekly list of good things that hae hapened!

And that’s one of the big reasons to do it!

It sounds like the one my brother attended.

Oh wow how did I miss that? Thank you!
Thank you for including the clip of President Biden 😘
It made me so happy. I do love that man even with all his flaws. He’s a remarkable human being.
Totally agree. Loved the video!
I hope History remembers Joe Biden for all of the good work he did in his lifetime! God bless him!

I love that so much, James. Thank you so much for doing it!
Wow! Excellent! Where are you doing this? We’ve done 2 at a planned dealership in Charlottesville, Virginia. More planned. Keep resisting!

Thanks for keeping at it! You guys are amazing!
And (D) Rep. Al Green filed Articles of Impeachment against DJT !!!
Thank you so much for this message - you are a beacon of truth, engaging action and spreading belief all is possible when we work together
Ah yes I have an event for you all around that in the newsletter this week! Thanks for the reminder!

I’m a huge fan of the whole enterprise.
That sounds great - what is Visibility Brigade?
You can sign up here https://forms.gle/gExqAr2xFEhpGeRg8 or find an existing group at www.visibilitybrigade.com
I feel like I just took my vitamins!
Thank you for this! You are a life raft in our sea of despair
Beautiful statement. Should be a bumper sticker. A RAFT IN A SEA OF DESPAIR.
What a fantastic list! Thank you for covering the news that the mainstream media finds unimportant, but especially aggregated in a list like this makes us all feel so much better! Keep going!
Yeah, it’s mostly all out there in the news somehow but it’s much more helpful to have it all in one place isn’t it? I’m glad you liked it.
I think my favorite part was that your list just kept going and going! 😳
Thank-you, Jessica. I really needed some good and hopeful news today. You are an inspiration.
Bravo, Jessica! That’s quite a list for what was a truly shitty week. And holy crap about the Sutton’s win in NY. That’s a big deal!
Agree! And thank you!
Yeah I keep reading about how NY is turning red - hopefully the Nov election results were an aberation and not a harbinger for the future!! But the NY Democratic party still has some work to do!!
NJ is in a scarier position than NY but they’re both not in a good spot.

I heard about it on a signal group that I’m on for parents of trans kids. Thank you so much for your advocacy!
