got something rather important to drop today.

protest sighted in satellite city. my current home - strip mall hell.

summary of protest signs:

* sign topics
** elections
** constitution
** Iran
** ICE
** using military on civilians - is this ICE or Palestine? I don't even know any more
** "no kings"
** gas prices
** protestors' 1st Amendment
** "Illegals" / "no one is illegal"
** due process
** not Left not Right, right now
** Israel - I didn't write down what other words they associated with it but it's already really self-explanatory
** Palestine / "Jesus was a foreigner"
** vets against fascism / "my parents or I didn't fight in the war for this"
** vote 11/3 26
** list of Black (?) people killed (1st/2nd gen immigrants?) "+ Marines injured"
** Elon Musk
** public lands
** speaker Johnson
** abortion
** general-sense DEI
** subverting Congress
** congress is complicit
** science is real - only one person had this sign
** about five signs with rainbow flags and optionally a reference to diversity and inclusion
** rewriting history
** this is real democracy
** we don't consent - as an abstract motif, for instance hidden in the word "democracy", appeared on approximately 5-7 signs
** division and lies are tyranny
** bias against lies is integrity
** suppressing vote / destroying elections
** defying court order
** replacing science with ideology
** each/every truth is a lie
** Epstein / Epstein regime
** down with the whole damn regime
* HONK
** several passers-by honked at protestors times
** thanks Gamzee. great Eridan impression
* my questions - currently unanswered
** what US state did the protested event happen in
*** this appears to be rather vague because there were different people with several different issues.
*** region appears to be federal?
** who or what should we oppose
*** Trump is a big one
*** one sign mentioned state governors
** what should we do
*** the only concrete thing I saw even hinted at was "vote 11/3 26"
* business card given. will not say what org name is on it due to name containing region. but - reminder to research group's website and report on general themes that website says

before this there was another protest in a second satellite city. must retrieve what date it was on

* two satellite cities 70 kilometers / 50 minutes away from major city
* previous event in second city 19 km away from crown28 event
* literally about 5-10 people standing on corner of intersection near light/crossing pole
* mainly I remember signs just saying "no kings"
* on the day, I thought, oh god, is this what this region calls a protest?? it figures. yeah this is about what we're capable of.
* surprised to see so many people today. in crown28 event, there were about 40 people.
** I just drew some dots on paper to try to illustrate how many people I remember seeing as I went by, and I drew 40 dots.
