#ICE has not been abolished yet, so protestors are still out in force and now rubbing it in. This is from a silent protest at ICE headquarters in #NYC. Pretty good irony in this sign, especially since it's hard to imagine Canada or Mexico giving these monsters some kind of friendly welcome. Maybe they can run to Russia like the Berkut did after Ukraine's Revolution of Dignity. #FuckICE #DHS #NoKings #50501movement

Protest Thread #135: Praise Be! Today my bridge troll pals and some people from other groups got together for a Handmaid's march downtown. The goal was to make a spectacle to remind people to VOTE. When we were planning, I was like "I'm down for this, but are costumes going to be provided? My taco might be a bit out of place." Red Handmaid robes and white bonnets were indeed provided, although for a few of the shorter women they had to be hastily hemmed up with safety pins. #50501movement

RE: https://mastodon.social/@zer0billionaires/117532341545406790 My buddies and I are doing a march through downtown this weekend in Handmaid costumes, as part of our efforts to remind people to VOTE. #midterms #50501movement
Quoting
Mike Luckovich's 2024 cartoon uses the imagery of The Handmaid's Tale to make a point about voting and women's autonomy. Margaret Atwood subsequently shared it herself. #Zer0Billionaires

Due to the media blackout, even I didn't know until just now that Pussy Riot, the Russian female anti-Putin protestors, have been taking part in anti-ICE demonstrations in the US since last year. They just recently protested alongside US activists at 7 different concentration camp locations. Especially since all roads lead to #Putin, I love to see this kind of international solidarity. #FuckICE #ICE #LosAngeles #50501movement

Like, here is some quality fuckery: these brave ladies in Lubbock, #Texas, which until now was deep #Trump country, were protesting a #KenPaxton event Tuesday while #Talarico held a rival event elsewhere in the city. They and others braved a crowd of remaining MAGAs, and by now all that's left is the truly deranged ones. https://www.texastribune.org/2026/10/27/donald-trump-james-talarico-lubbock-texas-election-2026/ #50501movement

Protest Thread #134: Who needs Spooky Season when you have attacks on healthcare? Last night I went to a protest held by National Nurses United (I'm on their protest mailing lis), AFL-CIO, and other people who are just fed up with attacks on what healthcare we even have. It started out in a public park next to a residential neighborhood. I parked next to some houses with truly impressive Halloween decorations in their yards... #50501movement #healthcare #unions

Brave Florida bridge trolls were out yesterday for Angie Nixon! Part of the effectiveness of these cheerful protests is showing voters that normies support progressive candidates, i.e. that it's "okay" to do so for people who haven't done it in the past. It's a great way to message to tens of thousands of drivers in one rush hour segment, which is why I do it. That and I have a really fun crew. #Florida #AngieNixon #midterms #50501movement

#NoKings this time was intentionally different from previous iterations. The point was supposed to be GOTV events rather than big marches. Well, some people really wanted to march, and I understand that. It's hugely energizing and we can all use the emotional release right now. Others were holding voter registration events and canvassing for Democrats, or in some states getting people to the polls early. That might not make for spectacular photos, but it's essential. #50501movement
