Operation Overpasses in NC
July 6th/7th were initial coordinated events with overpasses along I95 and 26 bridges in the Triangle.
The next rendition is on Sun July 20th 930-11 am. OP Overpass Undefeated Against Tyranny will be an expansion of efforts along I95 in NC (as well as other states). We are taking one approach on social media with QR codes to funnel volunteers into a Signal vetting. The other is a more now traditional (sounds funny) Mobilize announcement:
But the bright color does serve as a good early warning system about who to avoid when you are out and about in public. So unlike most things MAGA, they do serve a useful purpose!
It is fully entertaining to see MAGA just going after this and each other, burning their little hats off in anger and disappointment! 😆
You know it’s serious when the red hat gets burned.
I have been waiting for this kind of implosion for a long time, I hope it continues to escalate.
I would like to read about the Trump voters who now have "buyer's remorse". We TOLD you and you didn’t listen, and now you have no one to blame but yourself. If you did NOT vote for Kamala Harris you are fully responsible for everything that Trump MAGA is doing. Period.
I think it will be safe to wear this "Don't Blame Me, I Voted For her" t shirt this summer 👇
I wore my Indivisible T-shirt to a visibility rally last week in the morning, then stopped off at the grocery store to pick up a few things. A woman came up from behind and commented "I like your T-shirt". The back of it says "Democracy is NOT a Spectator Sport!"
Trump at the FIFA match reminds me of the toddler you take to an older child’s birthday party. He thinks it’s about him and pout/screams when the birthday boy gets to blow out the candles instead
ICE is a terrorist organization. Please remember how many good civil servants like my partner have been fired by the fascists. We are suffering, but doing everything we can to fight back and need support: https://democracydefender2025.substack.com/p/state-department-purge
I just can't help but think that when they get in the voting booth, they're still going to vote MAGA. They'll figure out a way to justify it.
Reminds of a story in WaPo. A clinic is closing in rural Nebraska because of Medicaid cuts. The town residents? They don't believe it -- rather, they are blaming the hospital or their owners. I.e., it's always somebody else's fault.
As glad as we are to see those hats burn—let’s not alienate MAGA supporters but welcome them by showing them—you got lied to (which we knew all along—but they didn’t)—Epstein is the first lie, ‘only deporting criminals’ is the second lie, ‘tariffs are good for our economy’ is the third lie. If we are going to heal this country—we have to come back together.
I just cannot connect with a flat earther. Doesn't matter if they are no longer magats. Anyone willing to throw out thousands of years of observation and science with a shrug just because no one came to their house and specifically proved that the earth is round to their satisfaction is still unreachable. Same with virulant anti-vaxxxers. Some folks are just unreasonable!
Yes, there are some we definitely won’t be able to bring back (the WCN are so locked into their cult) but of the 22% of Americans who are MAGA followers, I think a solid half or more are people who can turn off FOX and begin to hear other things. We shall see—but let us hold some space for those who can because in the long run—that will work better for all.
If they are burning something down, let it be MAGA! I would love to see it all burn to the ground, as long as they take the orange 🤡, the heritage foundation, the crazy Q-Anoners, Stephen Miller, Peter Thiel, Yarvin, and every single enabler (looking at you: Alito, Thomas, Roberts, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Coney Barrett, and the GOP Congress.)!
YES! ALL THE CRIMINALS that are burning our constitution to the ground!
If MAGA voters finally realize they've been conned, then we're still stuck with the CRIMINAL CON ARTISTS IN OUR SCOTUS!! They perpetrated this regime starting with Citizens United! 👿🤬 Greedy crooked bastards.
The FIFA awards were meant to celebrate the players not give homage to Trump. Was happy to see him being escorted off the stage. Maybe in Trump land he thinks he’s the greatest but to the rest of us he’s a loser.
Not surprised they burn like newspaper! Cheaper by the dozen 😂 Keep showcasing the hypocrisy and utter incompetence of this administration! Good trouble all the way!
Hats burning, good! agent arrested, and Trump booed, great! I have seen others suggesting that on Thursday we not call it protests, but rather gatherings to support and defend democracy!
I might still call it a protest here and there, but I think it can be a protest and a celebration---protest against T, celebrating Lewis something like that
I had to laugh at the boos for Trump and I fully expect them to increase as he appears in pubic, particularly in a world-wise event. Much of the world's tired of his BS.
Have to wonder why he stayed onstage with the winning team - must be his need for attention.

And the Triangle Unified Brdge Brigade is a coalition being led by Engaged Durhamites for Democracy. Their efforts are becoming legendary...

Awesome thank you for sharing Joe!
That’s great Joe! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Sam. Someone already contacted me wanting to model what we are doing in NC. And they crank out the events. Hope to be helpful.
Great News Turn NC blue!💙
I think it is more "sharing best practices" rather than "shameless commerce"!
If I were a little closer to Durham I would join you!
Me too! Anyone here signed up for July 17th Make Good Trouble?
I am alluding to the Car Talk guys/brothers Ray & Tom Magliozzi. And there Shameless Commerce Division...
Oh yeah! They used to be a staple on NPR.
Awesome. Love that NC is doing such a great job.
Scott really appreciate the links to TheHill for communicating demands
I love seeing those maga hats burned.
And it's them doing it!
I join you! Those hats make the heads under them look idiotic (including our fearless leader's)
But the bright color does serve as a good early warning system about who to avoid when you are out and about in public. So unlike most things MAGA, they do serve a useful purpose!
Soooo true 👍
Love seeing how Trump was diverted and not wanted. Best picture ever.

😂
Apt analysis Judith!!! :) LOLOLOL
Exactly!
Love the analogy
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I wouldn’t be sad if every maga hat in the world suddenly disappeared
They're just so abhorrent
I like being able to identify the morons from a distance. The hat makes that possible.
Now, if they are burning while being worn????? I guess that's still ok. I can make out bandages.
Ha! Disappear, while taking the ones wearing them with them.
Hmmm… Unless once the satan caps are removed and destroyed, their maga brains start to clear…?
Including the heads wearing them!
And the MAGA JERKS with them!❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥

This ⬆️
“That’s because Gov. Ron DeSantis has given the contractors hired to run the Everglades detention center permission to ignore state law and staff it with contractor-employed correctional officers who haven’t been fingerprinted, passed a physical, or cleared a background check.” https://open.substack.com/pub/jasongarcia/p/alligator-alcatraz-a-legal-black?r=fqsxl&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email
This is a concentration camp.📣📣📣
With the Pocket Nazi Miller drooling over it, because this is even better than being a voluntary Kapo.
Absolutely. See this report from Jessica Craven who was on a Zoom with Maxwell Frost after he visited there. Absolutely appalling!
https://substack.com/@jesscraven101/note/c-134666184
US Rep Frost and Fl Rep Anna Eskamani will never give up fighting! Both are fearless…💪💙
I agree 💯 percent! We need more people like them in Congress!!
Just watched! Makes me sick that human beings are being treated worse than the alligators!🤢🤮😥😥😥🤬
I AGREE! Please spread the word to make more people aware of this atrocity!
MAGA burning their own hats? It's great but . . .
I just can't help but think that when they get in the voting booth, they're still going to vote MAGA. They'll figure out a way to justify it.
Reminds of a story in WaPo. A clinic is closing in rural Nebraska because of Medicaid cuts. The town residents? They don't believe it -- rather, they are blaming the hospital or their owners. I.e., it's always somebody else's fault.
Oh I am with you on that. This is who they are. I heard one saying I am done with maga, I am all America first now... what?
A more succinct way of putting it (and I should have ended off my comment this way) is: "After all, it's a cult"
Sad
Whose? Biden's or Kamala's! These people are hopeless
As glad as we are to see those hats burn—let’s not alienate MAGA supporters but welcome them by showing them—you got lied to (which we knew all along—but they didn’t)—Epstein is the first lie, ‘only deporting criminals’ is the second lie, ‘tariffs are good for our economy’ is the third lie.

Now this is a proposal that I can get behind.
Wouldn't spend alotof money or time on them for 2026
Got that right. They need a good bit of time with their tender bits in a vise before it really sinks in.
I'm still trying, will never give up on that.
I agree
If they are burning something down, let it be MAGA! I would love to see it all burn to the ground, as long as they take the orange 🤡, the heritage foundation, the crazy Q-Anoners, Stephen Miller, Peter Thiel, Yarvin, and every single enabler (looking at you: Alito, Thomas, Roberts, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Coney Barrett, and the GOP Congress.)!

😈😈😈😈😈😈😈🤬
Burn it down
Love those hats burning 🔥!!
Pray this is the first of many MAGAS seeing the light and voting for Dems in 2026.
It's a clear chance for it. But also, some might get sucked right back in. We shall see.
Pray, yes, but don’t count on it. Sigh.
The FIFA awards were meant to celebrate the players not give homage to Trump. Was happy to see him being escorted off the stage. Maybe in Trump land he thinks he’s the greatest but to the rest of us he’s a loser.
Oh and of course there is more to the story
Me too! He's like a 2 year old who thinks everything is about HIM
Not surprised they burn like newspaper! Cheaper by the dozen 😂 Keep showcasing the hypocrisy and utter incompetence of this administration! Good trouble all the way!
Yes Lisa!
I never thought I'd see a MAGA hat burned! It'd be great if they kept up the pressure to release the Epstein files.
Agreed Jennie
Scott, your news does a body good!
Thank you Gracie!
🔥 Keep on bringing the fire, Scott!
It’s good to see those ugly maga hats burning! 🔥
Sure is! Shared the picture!😂😂😂😂
:)

It can be both!
Yeah that's a good point Pam!
Had anyone looked into that agent's past? He might be very interesting... 🤔
Let me ask my friend who is a local reporter, if not, I will!
I had to laugh at the boos for Trump and I fully expect them to increase as he appears in pubic, particularly in a world-wise event. Much of the world's tired of his BS.

He waved when Coldplay went on and they literally acted like he was the one being cheered lol
He is clueless, Scott.
