I mostly received support, some raised fists and horns -- also "Traitor!" and some not nice things that I won't repeat.

DoomsdaysCW<p>I would love to attend the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PresidentsDayProtest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PresidentsDayProtest</span></a> in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AugustaMaine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AugustaMaine</span></a> (assuming there is one going on), or stage a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProtestOfOne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProtestOfOne</span></a> in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PortlandMaine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PortlandMaine</span></a>, but the weather in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Maine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Maine</span></a> is not looking good. I will be bugging our <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Congress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Congress</span></a> members and will amplify what's going on everywhere else! </p><p>Meanwhile, here are some things you can do to support the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/50501Movement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>50501Movement</span></a>...</p><p><a href="https://www.buildtheresistance.org/feb-17" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">buildtheresistance.org/feb-17</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
DoomsdaysCW<p>Excerpt from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ACLUMaine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ACLUMaine</span></a>'s "<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KnowYourRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KnowYourRights</span></a> - <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Protests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Protests</span></a>"</p><p>"The First Amendment protects your right to assemble and express your views through protest.</p><p>"However, police and other government officials are allowed to place certain narrow restrictions on the exercise of speech rights. Make sure you’re prepared by brushing up on your rights before heading out into the streets.</p><p>Organizing A Protest</p><p> - Your rights are strongest in what are known as 'traditional public forums,' such as streets, sidewalks, and parks. You also likely have the right to speak out on other public property, like plazas in front of government buildings, as long as you are not blocking access to the government building or interfering with other purposes the property was designed for.<br> - Private property owners can set rules for speech on their property. The government may not restrict your speech if it is taking place on your own property or with the consent of the property owner.<br> - Counterprotesters also have free speech rights. Police must treat protesters and counterprotesters equally. Police are permitted to keep antagonistic groups separated but should allow them to be within sight and sound of one another.<br> - When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police. On private property, the owner may set rules related to photography or video.</p><p>Do I need a permit?</p><p> - You don’t need a permit to march in the streets or on sidewalks, as long as marchers don’t obstruct car or pedestrian traffic. If you don’t have a permit, police officers can ask you to move to the side of a street or sidewalk to let others pass or for safety reasons.<br> - Certain types of events may require permits. These include a march or parade that requires blocking traffic or street closure; a large rally requiring the use of sound amplifying devices; or a rally over a certain size at most parks or plazas.<br> - While certain permit procedures require submitting an application well in advance of the planned event, police can’t use those procedures to prevent a protest in response to breaking news events.<br> - Restrictions on the route of a march or sound equipment might violate the First Amendment if they are unnecessary for traffic control or public safety, or if they interfere significantly with effective communication to the intended audience.<br> - A permit cannot be denied because the event is controversial or will express unpopular views.<br> - If the permit regulations that apply to your protest require a fee for a permit, they should allow a waiver for those who cannot afford the charge.</p><p>What to do if you believe your rights have been violated</p><p> - When you can, write down everything you remember, including the officers’ badge and patrol car numbers and the agency they work for.<br> - Get contact information for witnesses.<br> - Take photographs of any injuries.<br> - Once you have all of this information, you can file a written complaint with the agency’s internal affairs division or civilian complaint board."</p><p><a href="https://www.aclumaine.org/en/know-your-rights/protesting" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">aclumaine.org/en/know-your-rig</span><span class="invisible">hts/protesting</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FirstAmendment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FirstAmendment</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FreeSpeech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreeSpeech</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Protest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Protest</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/protesters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>protesters</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProtestOfOne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProtestOfOne</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ResistFascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ResistFascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MaineACLU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MaineACLU</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ACLU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ACLU</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/50501Movement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>50501Movement</span></a></p>
DoomsdaysCW<p>So, one of the folks who chatted with me during my <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProtestOfOne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProtestOfOne</span></a> today in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PortlandMaine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PortlandMaine</span></a> pointed to the "End Citizens United" sign and shouted! "OMG! Yes! That's where all this evil began!" That made my heart so happy. And yes, that person (who was a gay man who recently got engaged) thanked me for being there. Awwww.... 🏳️‍🌈</p>
DoomsdaysCW<p>I was at a protest of one today in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PortlandMaine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PortlandMaine</span></a> (not the first time). Unfortunately, I wasn't there on <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/January20" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>January20</span></a> because I was getting over being sick, but there was a great turnout that day. </p><p>And it seems <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AugustaMaine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AugustaMaine</span></a> had a decent turnout today as well, so that's good.</p><p>But even though I was there by myself, most folks who saw me were supportive, a few thanked me, and only one <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MAGA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MAGA</span></a>-type said that my protest was "Bullshit!" To which I replied, "You'll find out soon enough." </p><p>I don't mind being a protest of one, but next time, I plan on bringing some pepper spray just in case, and some cash for unhoused folks - who were way more supportive than some of the well-off passerbys.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProtestOfOne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProtestOfOne</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/50501Movement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>50501Movement</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/50501Protests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>50501Protests</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ResistFascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ResistFascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Resist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Resist</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EndCitizensUnited" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EndCitizensUnited</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BlackLivesMatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BlackLivesMatter</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoJobsOnADeadPlanet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NoJobsOnADeadPlanet</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WaterIsLife</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateChangeWeatherWheel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateChangeWeatherWheel</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Project2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Project2025</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Resistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Resistance</span></a></p>
