overview for FiftyFiftyOne

I've been feeling sad about how I wasn't able to show up to the No Kings protest on Saturday, so I've been brainstorming small ways to protest for now until the next one. I made some sticky notes that I'm going to put up in my small Trump-loving town in places that people will most likely see them. It's Leviticus 19:33-34. So far I got one up on a gas pump from when I got gas today. I actually taped it on there because the sticky stuff on sticky notes aren't sticky enough lol. Is this a form of vandalism? I hope not. The cops won't come for me, right? ....right? Anyways, let me know if you think this is a good idea or not, and if you have ideas for other things I can write!

Amazing job by the organizers of this! Some good, connected news is that the largest protest was Earth Day in 1970, and that effected positive change in the U.S., including the creation of the Clean Water Act and Clean Air Act. It would be hard to argue that those two pieces of legislation weren't a good thing for most Americans. That's good company to be in. When people show up, positive change can result. When more people show up, the more likely for positive change.

It is noteworthy that I haven't seen a single major news/media outlet call out the statistical significance of Saturday's protests. Perhaps they're waiting for more official numbers from the Crowd Counting Consortium? Doubt it. C'mon journalists!!!

*the referenced article suggests the No Kings protest could be the largest single day protest in U.S. history, but this doesn't account for Earth Day in 1970.

From the Semaphore article: One of the companies, Instant Pot Brands, noted that “a portion of the profits from” its forthcoming collection “will be donated to the Trump Presidential Library.” Instant Pot, which makes kitchen and home appliances, said in its release that it will offer a “45/47 Collaboration,” including various items branded with those numbers and Trump’s “Make America Great Again” tagline.
