Nantucket people to Biden: "We charge you with genocide"
💕💕💕
Thank you to our Rainbow Brigade for defending #PrideinthePlaza in Silver Spring, MD! Our dance party was very effective at drowning out the hate!
Join our Rainbow Brigade at @CrazyAuntHelens on 6/24 in DC! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ DM for accessibility info. Roughly 2 hours of stationary activity. Street parking within 5-10 min wheelchair accessible travel distance.
@NoetheMatt @tressiemcphd It's not exactly security, but @RDC_DMV has developed protocols for escorting children, families, and performers and providing scouting and open source intelligence. They generally have medics, deescalators, and police liaisons onsite.
Maryland! We have two rainbow brigades coming up this week. Join us: - Sunday, June 4th in Ellicott City at Backwater Books & - Saturday, June 10th in Severna Park at Park Books DMs are open for questions & accessibility info.
Laugh as you raise money for @SanctuaryDMV & Rainbow Defense Coalition (@RDC_DMV)! @CapCiderHouse on Georgia Ave is hosting "Laugh Tracks," featuring stand up comedy, drag artists, vogue performances and live music or a DJ to close out the night. May 27, 8-11pm.
2/ From there, I joined @RDC_DMV to welcome and protect families to @DragStoryHour at @Loyaltybooks. Everyone had a great time! Love to see it! 🌈

@DCHomos They were really annoying. 😂 They tried to get video of Tara when she came out to thank us and she told them to follow her on Instagram.
There were multiple, extremely loud groups of protestors outside the plaza. But within the circle of @RDC_DMV you couldn’t even hear them! Can’t thank the volunteers enough for allowing folks to have a safe and fun time 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Thank you to our Rainbow Brigade for defending #PrideinthePlaza in Silver Spring, MD! Our dance party was very effective at drowning out the hate!
@WonderWoomanDC @ParasolPatrol @RDC_DMV Thanks so much! Reposted clarifying 🙏
Just found out it was the wonderful folks with @RDC_DMV’s Rainbow Brigade doing the incredible work out at MoCo Pride over the weekend protecting folks celebrating.. saw y’all working hard in the hot sun to make sure everyone had a safe and fun time! 🙏🌈 appreciate you!
Shout out to @ParasolPatrol doing an amazing job at #MoCoPride blocking out the hate and allowing families to have an amazing time celebrating love and pride ❤️🌈
@NoetheMatt @RDC_DMV would be a good group to connect with.
Any library folks managed to have security for events like drag story time that ISN'T the police? Can you share how that worked?
@NoetheMatt @tressiemcphd It's not exactly security, but @RDC_DMV has developed protocols for escorting children, families, and performers and providing scouting and open source intelligence. They generally have medics, deescalators, and police liaisons onsite.

2/ From there, I joined @RDC_DMV to welcome and protect families to @DragStoryHour at @Loyaltybooks. Everyone had a great time! Love to see it! 🌈
This is spot on. This weekend, I didn't see any cops. The volunteers made sure everyone had a safe and fun time.
@andi0304 @cleanslatemoco @J301smitty @cmkatestewart @RDC_DMV @Loyaltybooks @JohnZittrauer If the folks carrying 🌈 umbrellas are that successful (good for them), & MoCo has “red shirt ambassadors” in DTSS, let the police go back & do police things. Thought that’s what the “defund” strategy included: have police respond to serious matters.
Hey it's @RDC_DMV!
“We’re showing that we are not scarce,” one of the volunteers defending drag story hours said. “We are here and we are a force.” Read more about their joyful resistance: washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/…
Great turnout today at Drag Story Hour! Packed crowd outside and in with @RDC_DMV
TY Rainbow Defense Coalition for making sure we keep Drag Story Hours fun and joyful events for young people & their families @RDC_DMV TY the vols and our faith leaders who created the rainbow walkway and to the amazing @Loyaltybooks. We are so lucky to have you in DTSS!
My first time as a part of Rainbow Brigade today, protecting @Loyaltybooks's Drag Story Hour! Fun and luckily boring. Ran into many friends and feel so grateful to live in this community!

Yikes didn’t realize this was happening today, I’m headed over to Liberty please join if you can! The Proud Boys only show up to events where there are few parasols (for some reason MCPD do NOT deter them).
Mark your calendars for our Rainbow Brigades on April 8! #RainbowBrigade #WeProtectUs #DragIsNotACrime

@SafeSidewalksDC @Ho_Chi_Mandalor @kate_ross_ I do get this, but I also worry about normalizing/tolerating the voices of people who use their platforms to destroy the lives of trans children (for just one example)
