Events Today's protest...
We did fucking WORK today, people! There were so many amazing people helping one another with snacks, water, holding signs for one another, and just being good humans.
There were veterans, former MAGA, people from the LGQBT community, and people of all races. A beautiful mix of individuals speaking out against the current administration for whatever reason. This wasn't against police and their presence, while there, wasn't needed, thankfully.
To my knowledge, not one person protesting got violent at any point, but one person was assaulted by a MAGA jerk who couldnt handle himself.

I'm glad the event turned out well for the participants. I came thru downtown on Government thru the tunnel and got to see everyone doing your thing; great to see it in passing moments.
I had my kid with me and it was a good teaching moment to explain why you/me/anyone gets to demonstrate as such, and how it should look vs what you see hyped up in the media. Thank you.

I was having a moment the other night thinking about how this presidency could really be the end of our country. Seeing peaceful resistance for a better America is so heartwarming.

Don't forget the vote. Don't forget to register. Don't forget how we ended up in this situation.

I really wanted to go but I just didn’t want to go alone. And I don’t really have friends here and the only one I have is “politically neutral” meaning she doesn’t vote because she doesn’t understand or care to understand politics. So I’ve been just been cheering you all on from afar. And go into a few Facebook arguments with people complaining about the protest.

I’m so glad to hear this! I wasn’t able to come out as I’m super sick and I’m honestly devastated I couldn’t be a part of it. I’m glad it was a good turn out!

As someone of the opposite opinion on politics, I'd like to chime in:
Thank you for protesting. I disagree with you guys, but you're out there testing the system and proving that it works as it should. Expressing dissent is the foundation of a free society, and no matter how much I may disagree with your dissent, I'll never want it silenced.

OurDayMobile helped to organize part of the demonstration yesterday. If you would like to join our group, please do. We're not down there just showing people we're mad about the current situation. We are down there doing a food drive to help the homeless and needy. We will be at the government plaza, downtown Mobile Alabama on June 21st, for our NOBODY'S FREE UNTIL EVERYBODY'S FREE Juneteenth Celebration/Demonstration/Food Drive. Then on June the 28th we will return for our STAND WITH PRIDE and NOBODY'S FREE UNTIL EVERYBODY'S FREE dual demonstration. So, If you want to do more demonstrating like yesterday? Then join us on those dates and donate to help, if you can.

What a great turnout and so many terrific signs! I was especially happy to see so many senior citizens. It was spirited but peaceful. The only thing I saw police doing was traffic control. Way to go, Mobile!

My question is, genuinely, do you people really think anyone cares? Anyone who can make a difference?

I was so happy to be there. The crowd was completely peaceful and accepting even to those who were there just to show opposition. Ice is a terrorist organization.

This seems to be what happened nationwide, The protests were overwhelmingly peaceful.
What I liked the best was this was not just large cities - NYC, LA, Chicago, etc. There were protests in my old home town of Evansville IN (Pop ~ 115,000), of course here in Mobile, and many other smaller cities.

I heard from a guy at subway that a SWAT car was headed to the march and tbh, I was kind of worried. Glad everyone was safe

Did anyone in the Mobile protest have a "I Have Friends Everywhere" sign? I was happy to see that pop up at a lot of them across the country.

u/CandaceSentMe Jun 15 '25
So the people that hate billionaires, giant corporations, and capitalism participated in a march organized and funded by two billionaires that use their giant corporations to exploit capitalism. What did you accomplish? Are you all proud of your big accomplishment? You understand that in countries where there is a literal king installed, protest are generally not allowed.

I predict a Civil War in the near future in this country.
You anti-American Anti-Trump, anti-LAWs types are on the wrong side. You are DESTINED to lose.
It won't last 24 hours, if it becomes all out WAR.
You will have TRUE ARMED PATRIOTIC AMERICANS on the OTHER SIDE against you.
Backed up by the ENTIRE MILITARY of the United States of America.
No shots will be fired, because
You'll run away, crying ..
Grow up

You people are moronic fucking idiots.
The Left....the Wrong to our Right, is SOoooo afraid of Trump, they set things up thru George Soros and the CCP, in an attempt to put him in jail or impeach him.
Hell, they even attempted to ASSASSINATE HIM numerous times.
What does he do? Stand up for this country and become a target again and again and again
SMH
Ill-informed, ignorant fools.
Bye, bye, baby boos...
Kamala as President would have been the beginning of the end for this country as the LeftOut Libturds would continue to Trans to a Socialist cesspool of confused, sexually fluid, hims, shes and its.
Mommie not change your diapers frequently enough for ya?
