These reports and images are still coming in, so I’ll be posting one a day going forward, until we run out. Great reminders that we only lose if we don’t fight.
Some great signs sent in by …
I’m a lurker – only posted a few times as Waitingformountainlife. But I wanted to send pictures from the small very conservative town of Murphys. (We can’t get rid of our rep Tom McClintock even though he doesn’t live here).
I stole my sign from an earlier post on BJ.

I love that top picture. Folks are so creative with their insults (and the truth)!

These are so great because, when you’re the proverbial “One of Ten Democrats in the county”, it’s so valuable to remind everybody else around you that you’re there and won’t be dismissed so easily.

👋 Hi neighbor! I live on the western side of the county. Tom McClintock! Ugh. He’s so awful and we’ve been stuck with him for what seems like forever.
We can always count on Murphys to show up for Dems, though. Thank you!

Great signs!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAH, suckers:
White House insists Trump’s tariff reversal was his strategy all along
If you believe that, come talk to me about some deals we can make.

Great signs Waitingformountainlife! I especially like the science dude’s.

The “ Evidence based science….” poster
Very amusing

Oh, man. Old, old friend of mine lived in Murphys for the last 40+ years. Passed away suddenly about a year ago.

We did that ‘evidence based science’ cheer at the 2017 March for Science!
I loved it because of course in all the other “What do we want?” “When do we want it?” cheers the answer to the latter is always “Now!” Except for us scientific types!

Great set. I’ve been to Murphys many times–lovely and classic Gold Rush town, plus Twain country.
Sorry about McClintock, the baggiest of carpetbaggers and as persistent as genital herpes. Parachutes into a safe R district, never to leave.

That last sign is gold.

It begins.
Such as “Yo, I got weather and shit.com”

@Trollhattan: “When it comes to staying alert, we strongly recommend that people consult multiple sources.”
Most of which rely on the NOAA and NWS.

@lowtechcyclist: I loved that cheer!

@lowtechcyclist: Well, maybe . It used to be said that the marching chant of the Fabian Society in the UK went:
“What do we want?” “Gradual Change!”
“When do we want it?” “In due course!”

@Belafon:
What’s fun is watching prominent Republicans giving Trump blowjobs.

If what Trump did was all misdirection, I hope he won’t mind replenishing my retirement account, which suffered a decent loss during his sick little game.

And can anyone that was there on that rainy DC day forget:
“We’re nerds! We’re wet! We’re really, really upset!”

This afternoon, the S&P gained back more than 2/3 of what it had lost since the beginning of the month, if that helps.

And I thought this would be about the Dropkick Murphys, who tore it up with some mad as hell protest songs at the Boston rally.

@Matt McIrvin: Life is full of disappointments. :-)

@Scout211: Hi! Murphys did show up – there were about 300 of us. I counted 2 middle fingers and 1 boo – lots of honks and thumbs up though. As we were driving down we were saying “what if it’s only us 5”. But turnout was good for a small town. I’m the one with the pink sign – totally stole it from an earlier post here. We had to pose under the Murphys Hotel sign – it’s the local trumper hangout.
