"The protest was powerful and successful—our voices carried, our signs filled the streets, and even as National Guard officers stood in defense formation, we held our ground.
"Arkansans will not be silent while our communities are put at risk.
We demand a Guard that protects us, not ICE."
They are also having a pop up protest at an appearance by Tom Cotton. AWOL #GOP Congress critters will not hold town halls and face the voters, so the voters find them!
50501 #Arkansas says:
"⚠️ LISTEN UP, LITTLE ROCK....TOM COTTON POP-UP TOMORROW 8/26 ⚠️
"Tom Cotton and his crew are meeting behind closed doors at the Capital Hotel in Little Rock TOMORROW, 12–2 PM.🤔
"We’re about to crash that quiet little party… legally. Stand on Louisiana Street, right by the double-windowed corner—they’ll hear us, whether they like it or not.
"👉 Bring your signs.
👉 Bring your voices.
👉 Bring your rage and your determination. Arkansas isn’t sitting down. Arkansas isn’t staying silent.
"They think they can hide. Let’s remind them we see everything.👀"
"📍 Capital Hotel — Louisiana Street side (back)
🕛 Tomorrow, 12–2 PM
"No fear. No apologies. Just noise. Just power. Show up. Stand loud. Stand proud. ✊
"🔌 STAY CONNECTED"
And they are right. The MAGA Congress critters think they can hide, but we see everything. And THAT is what the resistance hinges on.

The balance is tipping, and it's because we keep showing up, especially the brave red state resisters.
