"At a time of significant political uncertainty and unsatisfactory legal answers, we should have faith in the ability of sustained, widespread, and massive protests to shape the destiny of our nation. We must continue the protests without fail; indeed, we must double our efforts every few weeks until the major media cannot maintain their risible reporting that 'thousands' or 'tens of thousands' joined protests..."

-Robert Hubbell

Demonstrators filled cities across Texas over the weekend as part of the 50501 Movement. The coordinated, nationwide protest against President Donald Trump's administration saw major turnouts in Houston, Austin, Fort Worth and San Antonio.

An estimated 2,100 people protested in Houston, Texas on Saturday April 19, 2025!

I'm so proud of the hard work by volunteers, organizers, and everyday residents who turned up for each other and turned out for the #50501Movement fight against Trump et al.

OH MY GOD

Boston comedian Robby Roadsteamer dresses up in MAGA gear, complete with maxi pad on his ear and #QAnon "shaman" headpiece, and he trolls MAGAs by standing next to them at protests and pretending to be one of them.

He's deliberately absurd, but here, the MAGAs don't realize anything is amiss until he starts twerking with a thong sticking out of his trousers.

This proves once and for all that it is physically impossible to parody #MAGA

❝ Les manifestations politiques deviennent de plus en plus courantes aux Etats-Unis…

D’après le Washington Post, près de 700 événements se sont déroulés à travers le pays. Tous ont répondu à l’appel du mouvement "50501", pour "50 protestations, 50 Etats, 1 mouvement". Le porte-parole du mouvement 50501 a décrit les protestations comme un mouvement populaire "pro-démocratie, pro-Constitution, anti-exécutif et non-violent".❞

Good turnout in Bothell for Saturday’s protest

Pretty good turnout in Bothell, counter had over 600 which is a good number given the rain in the morning and the unavoidable timing against Easter. It’s not what we had two weeks ago, but again, conflicts and worse conditions. Still a bit larger than the 2018-era protests, so I’d call that another win.

There were still people on the far downtown bridge, too. There were just gaps in the crowd between us and them.

I’d post pics but I totally forgot my phone, oops. And I actually did, not “lol no phone oops” did.

There was one (1) counter-protestor/heckler on the ground; he didn’t like my “NO KINGS” signs at all and started ranting about how Biden was the real “king” they got rid of. He didn’t have a sign himself and stayed pretty far back; I came across him accidentally while walking around testing our FRS radio range.

(As an aside: FRS handheld radios are f’real, team. Consider getting some and getting practice with them. No license needed, they’re channelised so can’t be used against you as “police scanners,” the range is shockingly good, and even with prices going up they’re super affordable. Ignore the only review on that Best Buy link; those are the exact model we bought. If you want to spend a little more you can get the T30 version, which has a headset and I think is rechargeable, but is otherwise pretty much the same radio and only comes in black. We specifically wanted replaceable batteries for extended-blackout reasons. Just remember: they are NOT private. Just relatively obscure.)

As with every other protest here, we had overwhelming support from the vehicle crowd. Hundreds to one in favour, easily, just like in person. I even got support from a presumably embarrassed Tesla driver.

I don’t know if there were more Bothell PD out this time, or if it just felt like there were. Might’ve been a difference in crowd to cop ratio, might’ve just been the escalating situation, might’ve just been where they were standing. But I wasn’t the only one who noticed.

Keep on your toes. Even here, the cops are Trump’s friends.

Anyway, that’s it for this week’s report, I hope your protests went well. Remember to save the date for May 1st, and to turn out at your local Tesla Takedown or similar before then, too. Momentum is everything, and we need to keep it.

The Revolution Will Not Be Televised: The Theory and Practice of Resistance, Episode 11: Sustaining the Movement in the Long Haul https://therevolutionwillnotbetelevised.net/#episode11 is now live on our site, Peertube, & YT.

We are in this for the long haul. Key features of sustaining the momentum for resistance are ways of finding pleasure and even joy in our solidarity with others during these dark times.

I don't normally boost or link to bluesky. This is important
