Thank you for sharing!
Hahahah! Love it!
Help spread the word about No Kings III
Help make this a historic day of protest by spreading the word across Portland and Oregon.
Print 3 copies of this flyer
Post them anywhere with a lot of foot traffic

Can’t wait! Looking forward to this SO MUCH!
A few ideas I’ve seen:
So Bad Even the Introverts Are Here
1776 Called. It Said No Kings.
I Cancelled a Nap for This
This Could Have Been an Email
My Other Sign Is Meaner
If I’m Outside, It’s Serious
Those are both so good!
Check your local rules on sticks (anything that could be a weapon). In PDX they’re common, but you can always just hold the sign! 🪧
Easy options: bring a flag (YES. We’re reclaiming our flag) or grab an old yard sign. Get creative—think paper mache cheetos!

Awww… thank you for the shout out!
In Portland, No Kings feels less like a protest and more like a giant, family-friendly festival with a purpose: costumes, inflatables, hilarious signs, and thousands of engaged people who care deeply.
Go on March 28. You’ll leave feeling stronger, steadier, and more hopeful.

Optimistic by brand, realist by nature — I won’t lie to make you feel better.
But today I feel more optimism than I have since this administration began. Cracks are widening.
Keep the momentum: No Kings, March 28. Find yours: nokings.org

No Kings is March 28 — show up.
First rally? It feels GOOD to stand in solidarity and say: we do not accept what’s happening.
Basics: know where you’re going, comfy shoes, water + snack, phone charged. Full checklist here:

Hard things are easier with friends — whether you’re attempting unnatural bendiness or protecting democracy.
A few people can’t hold the line forever. But thousands of us stepping up? That’s power.
Thank you!
Beauty isn’t a narrow template (age/size/race/shape/face) we’re supposed to fit.
A friend once posted: “I decided to be beautiful today.” And she was—no debate, just will.
So I’m doing that too. As-is. Right now.
It’s my birthday, so I’m asking for one act of resistance. 😅🎂
Pick one: download 5Calls, call Congress (no blank check for DHS/ICE), check voter registration, donate, boycott Amazon, shop local, join Indivisible, strengthen community.

Not everyone has “enough,” and they deserve more than platitudes.
But many of us have more than we actively notice. Noticing it, letting yourself feel joy,isn’t just self-help. It’s resistance.
Capitalism manufactures discontent to keep us spending. Practicing “enough” stops feeding the machine.
Took a few days off after the order surge from Friday’s reel (the idea of a Big Mac bouncing off Kristi Noem’s forehead… apparently a crowd favorite 😅).
I used the time to catch up on the invisible work: mopping, inventory, molds, receipts/spreadsheets.
Today: master batching (IYKYK).
Thank you!
Hundreds of orders this weekend. Amazing. Also… a lot. 😅
I’m a one-woman soap circus. When the sales ping causes anxiety instead of joy, it’s time to pause.
Shop is temporarily closed while I catch up & restock. Sustainable pace > burnout.
Schadenfreude. Delicious in the shower!
Billionaire Tears is replenished when you buy small, support unions, vote smart, call out donors, avoid billionaire media — and boycott Tesla, Target, Home Depot, Apple & Amazon.

I don’t push soap much because activism feels urgent — and because I’d always rather inspire action than sales.
I’m grateful for the support, truly. But what really makes my day is hearing what people are doing to push back.
So… make my day: Tell me what you’re doing to resist this administration!
EXACTLY! It doesn’t mean that you love your country any less. You can 100% be much more effective in pushing back for much longer if you allow yourself to simply live in between your activism!
This is the moment when calls matter most.
📞 Call your U.S. Senators and say:
“Please oppose ICE funding without real guardrails and accountability — including oversight, warrants, and limits on harmful tactics.”
☎️ 202-224-3121
📱 5Calls (app or site)
✉️ Democracy.io
I don’t work for @citizenruthpdx — I just admire how they show up for the community.
Prepping for ICE:
📲 Take ICE watch training from PIRC pircoregon.org
📣 Get whistle kits + learn signals
📞 Save key numbers
🏘️ Talk with neighbors
📹 Know your rights
Community makes people safer.
I really believe the tide is turning — but momentum matters.
The next No Kings rally is March 28.
I’m not asking you to commit — just save the date.
Put it on your calendar. Set reminders. That’s it.
Tell me when you’ve done it.
I’m so proud of the people stepping up right now — first-time callers, creators speaking out.
If you need proof pressure works: leadership is being sidelined, accountability calls are growing, tactics are being questioned, protests are spreading.
Small actions add up. Keep going.
📞 Call your Senators: 202-224-3121
“Please oppose DHS/ICE funding without oversight, warrants, and limits on harmful tactics.”
Abolishing ICE is the real goal, but we need to regain congress for that. This is what we can do right now.

A throwback from May with a current message: collective action works.
• Show up to rallies (peaceful & sustained) — Indivisible / 50501 Movement
• Call Congress — 5Calls
• Boycott complicit corporations
• Write voters — Vote Forward
• Donate where it matters
Together is how we win.
