We interrupt your regularly scheduled doomscrolling for something completely unserious.
Trump’s hair.
Frankly, I think we've found a few contenders.
My vote: Dawg the Bounty Hunter.
Cast yours below.
Sometimes the loudest message isn't shouted—it's the one people walk past.
As thousands rushed by, we stood with Blame the Billionaires signs highlighting struggles that millions of Americans face every day:
• ⛽ Squeezed at the pump • 📂 Angry about the Epstein files • 🌍 Furious over illegal wars • 🏥 Unbearable medical bills
The black-and-white images tell a story of people carrying burdens that too often become invisible. And the final image—a man sleeping on the sidewalk—is a reminder that inequality isn't an abstract idea. It's real. It's happening now.
We refuse to look away.
If you're tired of watching wealth and power come before people, join us. Together we can raise our voices, build community, and demand an America that works for everyone—not just billionaires.
Join us in the fight. 💙 #BlameTheBillionaires #VisibilityBrigade #EconomicJustice #StandTogether #PeopleOverProfits
Chicago understood the assignment. 🤘🚆
Micah and I hopped on the train, headed downtown, and met up with an incredible crew for our "Blame the Billionaires" action outside Lollapalooza and Trump Tower.
The signs said it all: 💸 Crippling student loan debt. 🏥 Unbearable medical bills. 🌎 Illegal wars. ...and so many of the problems ordinary people are told to just accept.
As we walked through downtown, the reactions poured in—smiles, thumbs up, rock-and-roll horns, honks, and yes... a few white guys giving us the stink eye. 😂
Keep an eye out for the quick shot of Marina City (the famous towers from The Blues Brothers). If you know, you know. 😎
Days like this remind me that activism isn't just about outrage. It's about community, creativity, laughter, and showing people they're not alone.
If you've ever wondered what it's feels like to be part of something bigger than yourself, come join us at the next action. We'd love to have you. ✊💙

Sometimes people ask, "Does standing on a bridge really make a difference?"
Here's our answer.
Every week, thousands of people drive by. Some wave. Some honk. Some disagree. But every single person sees that they're not alone—and that democracy is worth showing up for.
We're just ordinary neighbors who decided sitting on the sidelines wasn't an option.
If you've ever thought about joining us, this is your sign.
No experience. No speeches. No pressure.
Just good people, powerful messages, and a lot of honking.
Check out our August schedule at the end of the video and come stand with us.
Democracy needs to be seen.

Some stories never make the headlines. Some names are forgotten almost as quickly as they're gone.
This weekend, we displayed headstones to remember people whose lives ended after encounters with the immigration enforcement system. Each marker represented a human being—not a statistic.
🪦 An unidentified young man who died after being struck by a semi while fleeing.
🪦 A blind man who didn't speak English, released alone at night far from home, who later died from hypothermia.
🪦 An Afghan interpreter who risked his life helping U.S. troops, came to America seeking safety, was taken into immigration detention, and died after one day in custody.
Whatever your views on immigration policy, every person deserves dignity. Every death deserves accountability. And every life deserves to be remembered.
These headstones aren't about politics—they're about humanity.
May we never become so accustomed to suffering that we stop seeing the people behind the headlines.
😂🚽 When democracy stinks... sometimes you bring a toilet.
Saturday's heat was brutal. Triple-digit heat index, air quality that made breathing a challenge, and still hundreds of people—around 300—showed up to make their voices heard.
Our inflatable toilet and "Trump turds" became an unexpected hit. 😆 People laughed, took photos, and for a moment found some joy while speaking out about issues that matter to them.
Humor has always been part of protest. It gets people talking, lowers defenses, and reminds us that even in difficult times, we don't have to lose our sense of fun.
To everyone who came out, posed for a picture, waved, honked, or simply smiled as they walked by—thank you. You made an unbearably hot day a little more bearable. ❤️

ICE KILLS AGAIN – JUSTICE FOR LORENZO
Lorenzo was a husband, father, business owner, and was reportedly on the path to becoming a U.S. citizen. He was on his way to work when an encounter with ICE ended with him being shot and killed.
Authorities initially claimed he had rammed an ICE vehicle. Since then, surveillance video released publicly has raised serious questions about that account, and ICE has acknowledged they were seeking a different person. The lack of body camera footage leaves critical questions unanswered.
No matter your politics, government agents should be held to the highest standard. Transparency isn't optional. Accountability isn't anti-law enforcement—it's pro-justice.
If officials got this wrong, the public deserves the truth. Lorenzo's family deserves answers.
Justice for Lorenzo.

The monarch butterfly travels thousands of miles in search of the conditions it needs to survive.
For generations, people have done the same.
America's story has never been about where someone started. It's about the courage to dream, the willingness to work, and the freedom to build a better life.
As we celebrate 250 years of America, we're reminded that our greatest strength isn't fear.
It's hope. It's compassion. It's welcoming those who believe in the promise of this country and want to help build it.
That's the America we believe in.
WE ARE AMERICA 250. 🦋🇺🇸

Four years ago, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Four years later, we're still fighting for the fundamental principle that our bodies belong to us.
Our bridge messages this week said:
🚺 REGULATE DICK, NOT JANE
If politicians are going to insert themselves into private medical decisions, maybe they should start by regulating the bodies that aren't carrying pregnancies. The point is simple: government—and too often, men with little understanding of women's healthcare—shouldn't be making deeply personal medical decisions for women.
🚺 PRITZKER: CODIFY ROE
Illinois has become a leader in protecting reproductive healthcare, and those protections matter. But laws can be repealed. Courts can change. We've all learned that rights we assumed were secure can disappear.
That's why we're asking Governor Pritzker and Illinois lawmakers to take the next step: protect bodily autonomy in the Illinois Constitution so that future politicians can't simply vote those rights away.
Bodily autonomy means exactly that—our bodies, our decisions. Whether it's abortion, forced sterilization, contraception, fertility care, or pregnancy complications, history has shown the danger of allowing politicians to decide who gets control over someone else's body.
Rights shouldn't depend on who's in office.
They should be permanent. Codify reproductive freedom in the Illinois Constitution. #WeWontGoBack #CodifyRoe #BodilyAutonomy #ReproductiveFreedom #VisibilityBrigade #Illinois #ProtectOurRights
Join us as we have a great time, and exercise our First Amendment Constitutional rights!
The receipts are everywhere.
🥚 Eggs. 🥓 Bacon. 🥩 Beef. ⛽ Gas.
When prices go up, Americans pay the bill—not the Trumpstein class
Some people leave kindness rocks. Some people leave affirmation rocks.
We leave… feedback. 🪨
Keep your eyes open. You never know where a NOPE might appear.
Remember when Trump said he didn’t want to go down as the worst president? No such luck 👎
Trump: "Obama pallets of money!!!" Reality - What Obama gave to Iran was chump change next to Trump
Trump: "Obama created a terrible nuclear deal with Iran!" Reality - Obama's deal prevented Iran from having a nuclear weapon. Now Iran has NO deal...oh and a shit ton of money to make a nuclear weapon now that Trump has dropped ALL SANCTIONS!!!
Trump: "I alone can fix this!!!' Reality - Trump is trying to pin the whole thing on Vance, even though no one is allowed to do anything without Trump's permission
Now people are asking: Was it worth it? Definitely not!!
Billions spent Nothing to show for it Lives lost More expensive cost of living and no plans to fix it
History doesn’t care about branding. Only outcomes.
TRUMP CAN'T WIPE HIS OWN ASS. HE DOESN'T BELONG RUNNING A COUNTRY

Today we wasted another perfectly good afternoon.
Instead of being productive we:
❌ Didn’t overthrow the government ❌ Didn’t solve inflation ❌ Didn’t touch grass (ok maybe a little) ❌ Definitely didn’t collect our Soros checks
But we DID:
✔️ laugh ✔️ make signs ✔️ wave at strangers ✔️ make new friends ✔️ check in on each other ✔️ show up
Every week we hear we’re losers, unemployed, mentally unstable, or wasting our time.
If spending a few hours with funny, dedicated, caring people who believe things can get better makes us losers…
we’re cool with that.
I wouldn’t give up a minute with these friends 💙
#VisibilityMatters #SleepyDon #professionallosers #PaidProtestors

You asked about the shirts… so here they are.
Featuring the legendary Blues Brothers vibe, Freedom Frog energy, black hats, sunglasses, and apparently… tutus
These shirts help keep Visibility Brigade supplied with materials so we can keep showing up, making noise, creating signs, and getting people to pay attention.
Because democracy isn’t a spectator sport.
(And because looking this cool is easy if you join us!)

Meanwhile…
HONK IF U HATE TRUMP 🚗📣
And wow… apparently people had thoughts.
Turns out you don’t need a UFC cage on the White House lawn for people to throw punches… just a bridge and a horn.
🎵 Hit Me With Your Best Shot 🎵
Thanks to everyone who honked, waved, laughed, double-took, and helped remind people they’re not alone.

They tell us to calm down.
To stop protesting.
To stop being “so angry.”
Nah.
People are losing rights. Families are being terrorized. Billionaires and wannabe dictators are stripping this country for parts while pretending patriotism means obedience.
So yeah — we’re loud.
We’re visible.
And we’re not shutting up.
North Aurora got a reminder today that resistance doesn’t live quietly in comment sections. It shows up on bridges, in streets, with signs, flags, music, rage, humor, and community.
If that makes people uncomfortable?
Good.
Comfort is what got America here.
