The Kennedy Center, with its façade covered by a striped tarp over scaffolding that says "Donald J Trump Memorial Butthurt Curtain"

CC Hopes ❌️👑@cchopes· Jun 13

Yep.

Turquoise background with darker turquoise/teal lettering that says, "Removing Trump's name from the Kennedy Center was a good start. Now remove it from the White House."

BTW, when you mentioned making a meme earlier of the quote I'd mentioned, I remembered I had one in my gallery:

Autumn scenery of trees hanging over a road that runs back into the center of the picture. The trees' leaves are in shades of red and orange surrounding the road. The trunks of the trees are a dark brown or black. Superimposed over the center of the picture in white lettering are the words "We're all just walking each other home. - Ram Dass"

🚨MAYDAY! On Friday, May 1st, I'll see you all in the streets again… but not at work, not at school, not in a store, not in a restaurant, etc. (Don't work, attend school, or shop, if at all possible!)

From an awestruck American: A heartfelt thank you to people around the world who participated in #NoKings It's humbling to see people in other countries participating. Thank you ALL for lending your hope & help! Your support means so much; it strengthens us in our fight for democracy & peace.🕊 ❌️👑

Black text on white background thay says "Wait, we bombed Iran to save their citizens from being attacked by their government? Asking for Minnesota."

Thank you for the mention, Hopeful, my friend. It is people like you, and those with whom you have helped me connect, that help me feel less tired--as well as maintain my hope--in the face of the current state of the country. I have no doubt many others feel the same because of you! ♡

Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn't defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people. - Rob Reiner Let us all continue to speak out, participate, be vigilant, and offer courage to each other.

Candles and flowers surrounding Rob Reiner's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Text is Rob's words: "Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn't defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

Rob Reiner was an enormous talent on multiple levels- and an even bigger humanitarian. This is a huge loss in so many ways. Every time someone who does so much worldly good departs from us, it leaves a paradox: there is the void of their absence, but there is also the light that remains. RIP, Rob✨️

Obviously not a song, but "pull" or "push" made me think of this cartoon... 😁

A "Farside" cartoon by Gary Larson. The drawing depicts a kid pushing on a door to a brick building. The door says "pull" and there's a sign down the stairs and to the right that says "Midvale School for the Gifted."

TY for the shout out, @merlinmm.bsky.social 🫂💕 And also thanks to Merlin and everyone here for being citizens who care and are banding together for change! There are more of us than there are of them - and our numbers continue to grow. We're stronger together!

Spent today in Calif sunshine w/1000's of peaceful patriots.🇺🇸 I'm pleasantly weary from all the good energy, my ears are ringing from all the joyful noise, and most of all, my heart is full of hope, thanks to We The People across America and around the world. Hope remains for us- for all of us. 🌎🌏🌍

Picture from the game "Oregon Trail" that says "You have died of Florida" (instead of "you have died of dysentery").

I like this one, too...

Thanks, jandee! 💕 Much appreciated! (Meeting blue people here on Bluesky helps with the ol' political anxiety! 😉💙)

Cartoon drawing of a doctor saying to a stressed-out looking patient, "Your anxiety levels are through the roof! Any idea what might be causing this?" The screen that the patient is hooked up to has a read-out that is Trump's signature.

I'd say if there's even a 1% chance...

Photo of the back of the current "president" with his tiny fists up. He's facing the US flag. Text below it says, "Are we really so depraved as a nation that we can't even agree that the President of the United States shouldn't be a pedophile? And that if there's even a 5% chance he is, it must be thoroughly investigated? Why is that controversial? I'd say the same about a POTUS of any party."

"Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Do not become bitter or hostile. Be hopeful. Be optimistic. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble. We will find a way to make a way out of no way.
- Rep. John Lewis

It's #IndependenceDay in America, with little to celebrate. There is, however, much to be done. With that in mind, I'm "celebrating" the #FouthofJuly by protesting. I refuse to give up the fight for our democracy. #WeThePeople must press on. See you all in the streets. #nokings #pushback #resist
