Yes. In the rather famous case of the American Nazi party (like, the OGs before the GOP took over that status) in the 1970s when they wanted to hold a really in Skokie, a Jewish neighborhood of Chicago, were denied a permit on the basis of obvious harm, sued about it, and they ended up being represented by the ACLU on principle of free demonstration up to the Supreme Court where they won (and in turn the ACLU nearly collapsed from the popular fury at their willingness to do that). The case gained significant national attention and the people of Chicago organized a massive counterprotest to what ended up being a minimal Nazi turnout where they were unequivocally shamed and entirely unable to intimidate the Jewish locals they hated so much.

In short, counterprotests can be an act of solidarity against hatred. They have their time and place.

I can see it now

Rails laid through the street with tiny trains with so much room they can carry all their friends and coworkers places, and electric lines installed to power them just to appease their egos. And since these giant cars are confined to the streets with rails they'll be called streetcars, and they'll be about to start renting out their extra carrying capacity to randos.....wait a minute

If I see a person with a giant "TRUMP" on their shirt, I'm not sticking around to read the rest of it. Most people on our side are gonna be off put by that no matter what else is written there. All it accomplishes is making people uncomfortable, most of all vulnerable minorities under attack right now.

I... don't think there's a lot of sheep. The area isn't great for farming in general.

Being homeless anywhere is insanely difficult and dangerous (and expensive) and I don't suggest it even at fairly significant cost.

I'm tempted to offer you to come stay with me and my partner in northern WI. We're in a small, very liberal town also on the big lake and have an open room that we're looking to share with a trans person in need. There are no sheep that I know of, but there's alpacas nearby! DM me if you're interested

If you don't mind snow and cold, Duluth MN is great and as affordable of a smaller city as you'll find anywhere, in a blue state with trans protections and ready access to Planned Parenthood. And a decent economic/employment situation.

I went to the website shown but there's no indication of this date for the next protest, I'm trying to confirm for my local group the next big date (we already have smaller ones but we don't wanna miss a nationwide thing) but idk where this is coming from besides this image.

Mandatory reminder that unions, and strikes, existed long before the law "allowed" them to, and they'll exist after as well.

I'm having the same issue from a different insurance, thought it was a federation issue but I haven't seen this specific issue on any other community from this instance.

Exactly enough lawn to not get into a fight with my city

I mean sure but there's also tens of millions of us who voted against him who'd quite like to fight to not be plunged into dystopia.
