Protest Thread #128: MAKE. IT. STOP.
Yesterday afternoon, I drove to another bridge protest downtown gleeful that I'd survived my well woman exam and now don't have to set foot in a doctor's office for another year. The weather was much better than expected, and we had a party on the bridge! Nobody even noticed any middle fingers from traffic, which is saying something in a rush hour protest over the interstate. Foot traffic was almost entirely gleeful.
We didn't even have any agitators this time. Sure, some people go past and don't crack a smile, but many people high fived us, laughed at our silly costumes and banners, and/or joined in dancing to the loud music. There's one Latina ICE agent who watches us sometimes, and she rode past on a bike. (We know she's ICE from her Facebook page.) She's never done anything to us-- they use the few ICE agents who aren't white incel men as spies-- but we love that she gets to see everyone...
