So long as conservatives continue to exert exceptional effort to try and erase LGBT identity, people should attack Christian identity in equal measure. Tear down billboards with gospel on them. Deface publicly displayed crucifixes. Burn bibles in public.

Paint different crosswalks. How many crosswalks are in the city? I bet there are more than they have police to stand and watch them.
What's that meme that was going around? Cities have enough police for one ten thousand person protest but ten one thousand person protests would cripple them? Take it a step futher with the crosswalks
Why limit yourself to existing crosswalks? Male some new ones.
Imagine being so insecure that you have to stop people from having a harmless shrine to a bunch of people killed in a mass murder.
Anyways, there's a lot of crosswalks and there's no way they can even long term focus on this crosswalk. Wait for them to leave, do it again.
You bring up a good point here. There are a lot of crosswalks. So what happens if people just start doing this at random crosswalks around the city?
Aha, a crime wave! Deploy the National Guard!
I was thinking, what else can we rainbow up while they're all looking at crosswalks?
What an incredibly efficient use of taxpayer-funded police forces! Should report it to DOGE, they definitely need to cut funding for that
Yep.
We cant give medicine/healthcare that those that need it, cause its to expensive.
We cant give food to those that need it, cause its too expensive.
We can't provide shelter to those that need it, cause its too expensive.
but somehow, magically, when it comes to the police state and fascism.. Theres always an endless waterfall of money.
I guess when one is in a gold-plated conference room with oligarch friends and you collectively have a couple trillion dollars in assets to "protect," peeling away a few billion to pay some of the poors to shoot the other poors before they take your shit (or your head) seems like a pretty reasonable business expense.
When you look at them as the protectors of capital rather than the protectors of the people, it makes a lot more sense.
There are over 70 confederate monuments in the state of Florida; none of which are yet painted in rainbow colors.
You never know when one of those cheeky crossings will turn gay on you.
I looked at the sky the other day after a bit of rain. Boom. Gay. Just like that. It could happen to any of us.
Quick! Paint somewhere else.
Civilian chalk artists now need armed civilan escorts to protect them from police.
Police are going to shoot someone for putting chalk on the pavement to remember the victums of a mass shooting.
This is America.
I've just been to east Germany and saw in a museum the Incredible pettiness of the surveillance state.
They collected smell samples of supposed activists, and you could be labeled an activist for writing something sarcastic on a poster or newspaper. Also if you were labeled as such they could 'unofficially ' ruin your life (as in thwart your ambitions and goals.
So much money and effort was spent on policing the hearts and minds of the populace. And the frail religious conservatives who run America would probably love the idea.
Earlier this week, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy sent letters to all 50 governors calling for the removal of Pride crosswalks.
Just this part alone is super fucked up.
Why do they have the resources to do this and not watch for cars almost hitting pedestrians at the same crosswalks.
simple, pedestrians aren't people
Russia: Rainbow Flag Illegal
USA: Rainbow Flag Illegal
So what's the difference anymore.
Russia has a capable (if thoroughly evil) leader?
Just wait em out? You're in a seige now, and hopefully the seiging army goes home. Then, you go out and make it a rainbow again.
Instead of defund the police, it’s now “run out the police budget”
Is it a crime to buy a vinyl decal for a car that says “rainbow painting” and drive around a city, occasionally stopping near crosswalks to check your phone? I don’t think so.
you'll never run out the police budget.
If you managed to even get close to it, government would step in and take more money from starving children and the ill, to keep their fascist oppressors on the streets.
Actual rainbow police.
Seems like a good use of their time. Police jobs are basically welfare for the mediocre low iq dipshits from high school.
Has anyone heard of Toynbee Tiles? These are interesting by themselves but the relevant point is how they are made.
You make a mosaic out of vinyl flooring chunks on a backing of paper and roofing tar as mastic.
You place them paper side up on asphalt pavement in hot weather. As cars drive over them, the paper and tar wear off revealing the vinyl mosaic.
Just a thought that a group of people could quickly make a rainbow crosswalk that can’t be painted over.
I was expecting the onion... Wtf
Cause you know, that will stop all the horrible crime the GOP is talking about... You know how dangerous crosswalks are!
Fascists using government sponsored violence to protect their desecration of a memorial for a major mass shooting because they side with the shooter
Such are Republicans
Paint police instead? /silly
