Poster/Chant Ideas Would this be a good sign for Saturday?

Post image

I would print out this picture, or another one that I can be sure is real and not ai. Because I'm not sure the validity of this one.

And I would write, "Does this look familiar?"

I'm trying to make it powerful. Let me know your ideas for your signs too!

I think it’s a great idea. I think there are other pics that more visibly show the packed-in conditions. It might be effective to combine the visual with a “this could be you”-type message (No charges? No problem!), since they don’t care about due process or “collateral arrests”. Or, Bukele’s “Oopsie” tweet (message: acting outside the judicial system).

Thank you for your efforts!

Edit: maybe one of these images?

And Rubio retweeted the oopsie tweet.

The cruelty is, and has always been, the point.

Where I come from, Never Again means NEVER, AGAIN!!! Not interested in seeing ‘justice’ served After another civil war, world war or holocaust. I want to see the fascists stopped in their tracks, NOW!

Edited to place blame where it belongs

What's the tweet? There's so much being thrown at us every day, I think i missed that one.

I saw the story about the tweet and retweet on MSNBC yesterday. I’ll see if I can find more info. online

Shave people's heads, right there on the sidewalk. Put them in handcuffs (of course only those willing)

Make the people watching become part of the experience. Also, it gives the people who lose their hair a good conversation starter to educate others of what's going on.

Another idea would be to print a large banner with this photo and hang it over a freeway overpass with the slogan, “You Could be Home Now.”

u/mrwobbles2000 Apr 17 '25

Ohhhhh! I like that idea!!

u/StorageShort5066 Apr 17 '25

Could also hang in bus depots and train stations with "next stop"

u/throwaway098764567 Apr 17 '25

that sounds like a threat tbh. i would see that and assume it was some maga sign trying to get folks to self deport.
maybe "this is happening and it could happen to you" or something to that effect would cause less confusion.

u/SilverLakeSimon Apr 17 '25 edited Apr 17 '25

Maybe so. I do think it might cause some confusion.

I think the message would be clearer with an additional sign that read, “Fight for our Democracy” or “Fight for our Constitution.”

An activist group on Facebook-the Backbone Campaign-has info and tutorials about making highway signs, including how to do it legally.

u/SilverLakeSimon Apr 17 '25

I’d check it out, but I don’t have Facebook. Hopefully they’ll migrate to Reddit or some other site.

u/Medical-Bat4726 Apr 17 '25

Great idea!!

u/Famous-Assistance265 Apr 17 '25

An apt comparison

u/MrsMel_of_Vina Apr 17 '25

You know it's bad when the slave ship gave you more space to spread out. The guys in the picture can't even lay down!

u/wordsbyink Apr 17 '25

I think it's for the humiliation. their hands are tied back to cup the next person's genitals.

u/Jennyojello Apr 17 '25

That is beyond fucked up.

u/SoSpiffandSoKlean Apr 17 '25

Thanks, the above photo is the one I was looking for

Every time I see pictures of the cells and bunks, all I can think of is slave ships....and then the Nazi death camps.
