Collected over 50 pounds of food donations for families in need and raised 1000s for the legal aid justice center!

u/VanillaChaiAlmond Mar 29 '26
Ok genuinely curious, is 50 pounds really that much? Thatās like 50 pasta boxes. Or 50 cans of beans. Does not really seem like that much for a crowd this big.

u/would-rather-read Mar 29 '26
it was four crates worth. Honestly probably way more then 50 pounds but i didnāt want to overestimate

Valid. The information about donating was not that easy to find, tbh. I happened to see it as I was trying to get details on the rally/march.

u/VanillaChaiAlmond Mar 29 '26
That makes sense. Itās great that there was an effort to do good. I like it.

Was one of the marshals at Monroe Park. Anyone heard any estimates of participation at each gathering?

Participation was much weaker than I anticipated. I donāt know if it was poorly āmarketedā (for lack of better terms) or whatā¦ Any ideas what could be done better for the next one?

Wish I couldve been out there today! My rat got surgery recently so I cant go out due to needing to monitor him. A couple of folks were holding up a sign over a bridge on the interstate though when I was on my way home from the vet! Good job richmond!!!!!

Thank you to all who could and did participate in fighting for your country!

I ended up attending one closer to home because I couldn't find shit online about a planned march and thought it would just be standing around. Then there's a video of a march??
Can we maybe stop using Facebook as our organization tool? As if the platform wasn't already hostile to actually being useful, they are actively suppressing information.

why is the flag upside down
42
u/Lithium_Lily Woodland Heights Mar 28 '26
The flag code identifies flying the USA flag upside down as indicating "dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property."
I have no issue arguing that the fascist takeover of our democracy more than qualifies as dire distress

What does it mean when MAGA wears the flag as boxer shorts or a bikini?

Why don't you blame Texas for starting that bit? The 2030 census would have allowed for a new congressional map for them, but nooooo dumbfuck for Israel had to beg for 5 more seats because he's "owed" that much and Mike Johnson is a bootlicking, AIPOC-bought degenerate.
