Below is an account from the Indivisible Kingwood folks today. They do a weekly protest near Dan Crenshaw's office. This is how it goes sometimes. It's important that we be out there no matter the aggression of the right. Above you see the patriot wearing her 8647 shirt that set off an angry man in the biggtuck. 

They are trying to define as criminals and scare us off the streets. We can't allow that to happen. We are going to have to be on the streets. Don't yield public space to bullies.

The next action is when you organize it. The 1st Amendment is your permit. The only credential needed is your presence. Voting will not be enough.The work ahead is ours.

From today:

"These 11 defenders of democracy made a difference today! The mobile community was quite vocal, ups and downs, but we really caught the eye of a super MAGA! Well, shall I say, Cindi got his attention with her sign. He was so over-the-top agitated that he called the cops on us. As we were packing up, 2 HPD cars rolled up, as did the super MAGA jerk in his big ole truck. The cops were really nice and said they were checking to make sure we were all okay. Then they informed us someone had called in about one of our signs. I asked if it was the loud guy in the truck. Yep. Cindi asked if he was insulted about her 8647 sign and they said yes, so she showed it to them. The jerk then stood on his truck threshold and started yelling at us. We asked if they will have to come out every time someone gets offended. They said yep. They waited until we were all pulling out of the parking lot before they left. As we were leaving they went over and talked to the jerk. Life of a protester!"

There are many of these sometimes-modest decentralized actions across the Houston-region & the nation. This work will matter when rapid-response is needed when Trump messes with elections & escalates attacks on civil liberties. We are getting to know and trust one another.
