Been out here at these protests since 2/5/2025. Even then, the crowds were impressive up here in the snow & subzero temperatures. To bear witness to the growth of this movement since those days fills my ❤️‍🩹 with pride. Today's the largest crowd so far💪

A reminder that 6/14 marches and gatherings are not parades, or fun festivals. Do not post selfies. Do not take pictures of other protesters (except backs only, no faces). Do video any clashes with police. Please be safe, and don’t post anything that could be used against any protesters. nokings.org

Emotions are complex, yes. So is our society which tells women “anger” belongs to men. But feminine rage has been at the forefront of every revolution. Summon it. Use it for the fuel that it is, let your rage light your way.

APRIL 5, 2025 — HANDS OFF! Rally in Montpelier, VT Hosted by 50501vt & Vermont Indivisible groups . . . Speakers included many of the most prominent names in Democratic Vermont politics: U.S. Sen. Peter Welch, Attorney General Charity Clark, Treasurer Mike Pieciak, and state Sen. Kesha Ram Hinsdale. But one Republican also spoke: Lt. Gov. John Rodgers. A former conservative Democrat, Rodgers returned to politics last year to break with his former party, join the GOP and knock out an incumbent lieutenant governor. On Saturday, he said opposition to Trump’s administration shouldn’t be a partisan issue. “I am calling on all Republicans to stand up,” he said. Rodgers also said he was “embarrassed” by congressional Republicans for bowing to Trump, and he decried the “spineless” white-shoe law firms that have recently signed deals with the president to avoid executive orders that could hurt their business. These lawyers, he said, were “another prime example of the lack of courage that has infected so many who should be standing up for the rights of Americans and the Constitution.” While Vermont’s most important state and national politicians have featured prominently in the nascent Trump resistance, one figure has been notably absent: Republican Gov. Phil Scott. Scott has never supported Trump, and voted for former Vice President Kamala Harris in November. But since Trump’s reelection, he has held off on forcefully criticizing the president. Rodgers did not mention Scott in his speech. But as he stepped away from the podium, the crowd broke into a spontaneous chant. “Where’s Phil?” they shouted. “Where’s Phil?” https://www.vermontpublic.org/local-news/2025-04-05/from-every-corner-of-vermont-thousands-protest-trump
