When we protested in my red county, the cops were protecting US!

Thank you for doing your part in such hostile conditions. Stay safe!

When I lived in KCY there was a bro truck with Confederate Battle Flag that would cruise a northside shopping area called Zona Rosa while shouting every kind of slur imaginable. It was obvious they were trying to get someone to shout back so they could jump innocent people for a beat down.

Wow. Thank you @piperformissouri.bsky.social for your bravery and the #StJoePolice for (literally) having your backs! Sending 💙 from Ann Arbor and a few pics from our 🚫👑 event today. #community @indivisible.org @50501movement.bsky.social #thisiswhatdemocracylookslike

Thanks you Jess! You are setting such an awesome example for everyone in red or Blue states! We need your spirit and fight so take care stand strong

Yep, exactly what happens here, police are always present looking for trouble makers. Keep protesting.

Arkansas has the same idiots. Bully's wanting to be adults. Thank you for standing up and sharing!

You have a wonderful positive attitude and seem a really good person. Keep up your great work but also look after you !!👍

Thank you for your bravery in these tough times! You are a true Patriot!💙

Jess you are 🔥 💙 so inspired by & grateful for your courage to fight back in spite of the deranged and dangerous people.

Hey all, I donate monthly to Jess Piper‘s organization Blue Missouri. I call it my Happy Tax! 🤩 Everyone should do it. Once a month, don’t buy an expensive coffee, give it to Jess and Blue Missouri, you won’t miss it, and you’ll feel good about it! ❤️‍🩹

I commend your bravery and dedication! So glad you got the support you needed from the police. Stay safe

Everyone appreciates what you do!!

Thank Jess

That’s fucking fire. Exemplary, tempered courage.

TENURE

times infinity stability permanence calm

Thank you.

Now that is a real oattiot

You all are very brave.

I'm here in Ohio, protesting too. Last time, we had a literal Nazi waving a literal swastika flag at us who got so into her screaming, she rear-ended someone else and got arrested. Just goes to show you who the GOP are - literal fucking Nazis.

🤗

I was very impressed with the police at the protest I also attended in St. Joseph and the one a few weeks earlier in Lee's Summit.

Thank you for all you do!

Stay safe, stay loud!!!

Applauding you and the police in your town 💙💙💙

Those of us who are protesting this crazy president and his minions hope you will be ok. We are with you.we will get rid of this crazy regime.

I am glad the local pd had your back. That's what we need from law enforcement.

Thank you. You, your friends and neighbors are the humanitarians and the foundation of a movement. Thank you for your bravery. ❤️ 💙 💜 💖 ✊️ ✌️ ☮️ 🕊

And we are all grateful for you, Jess Piper! Thank you for what you do!

You all are truly brave 💕 I can’t imagine the kind of stuff you deal with… thank you.

I live in red Tennessee. I always thank the police who are standing around during a protest. They almost always seem to appreciate the acknowledgement and recognition that they are there to protect us and keep the peace.

I also live in a red state, so I know exactly what you mean.

Thank you.

@mehdirhasan.bsky.social

Thank you for doing everything you are doing.

Be safe. From Arizona so I see the threats, too

Keep upnthe resistance.

Also a protester in a red state.

Than you, Jess, for working them red trenches. You rock!✊🏽

Thank you for your activism, Jess. You’re an amazing person. ❤️🦋💙❄️❤️@piperformissouri.bsky.social

Thank you Jess, I'd be out there too if I were able.

God bless and keep you all safe❤️🙏🏻

Thank you for your work. ❤️

“Basket of deplorables” was too kind

I applaud your bravery and action Jess! Please stay safe!!

Thank you Jess!!! I just knew that you’re to brave to stay home. Please take care and stay safe! And healthy my dear sweet friend💕🇺🇸💀💕🇺🇸💀

Thank you! I am in Florida in a purplish area so not so bad

Stay safe Jess I've been following you for a long time and you are a hero

Thank you. I'm in a blue state (LA, CA) & w/ICE everywhere arresting as many brown people as possible, including citizens & protesters, it's scary here too

I guess my comment was too long so the character alphabet monitor algorithm would not remind me how many letters I had.

Thank you! Love and hugs from protester in the PNW

Thank you and your fellow protesters for standing up for America!

💪🏼💪🏼 let’s go Dirt Road Democrats!

Glad you are fighting the good fight! Be strong, and careful. So brave...true patriotism isn't the easiest path

Thank you Jess, together we will overcome!!!

This is what true patriotism looks like. Good for you and stay safe ❤️#NoKings #Indivisible #ImpeachConvictRemove

Thank you Jess for being that blue dot!

I am greatful to you Jess. Know that always. Been difficult with no disability support to get up & out. Making plans. Even if someone has to shove me in a shopping cart girl. 55 yrs I was fighting the same damn Robber Barrons. Time to shuffle out now.

I get ya! South Carolina ain’t no picnic either.

Will be in SC for the next one mid July! Greenville or Spartanburg, not sure which.

I'm going to have to have a protest list with me. I will be driving across the country on the 17th. I will be joining whichever protest I'm close to that day!

Bravo. This is what guts is.

I am so thankful for people like you. I’m in a red state too, but it’s not that red. We used to be a blue state or maybe it was purple. Someday maybe we’ll get it back. I’m in a red county and it feels like we’re never going to get it back.

“It’s what we do” 

Nothing lower than a right winger

Thank you Jess Piper for representing us. My last protest was the early 70’s!

You're lucky you have police that are willing to protect your right to free assembly. In many parts of this country, even in deep blue states, there are too many cops who would rather join those pickup truck neanderthals rather than back you up.

Bless your heart! 🤗 My home state is Iowa & the Iowa I know weren’t such White soulless dirt bags. I’m sure the Blue in Iowa are with you! 💙🌊

❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️🙏🧌❤️👍🧌👍🙏❤️

But millions of us can overtake the idiots. America the home of the brave.

God Speed Jess! Thank you for standing up for our rights!

We see you We 💙🫶

❤️

Thank you for your bravery, Jess. You're an inspiration and a shining example of what it means to rise up! Bless you and take care of yourself. Happy July 4th. from your Canadian friends .

We protested in front of MAGA Mary Miller’s ofc in Quincy today. More honks of support but a few who wasted their diesel showing off how ignorant they are. We fight on. See you later this month, Jess! 💙✌🏼

wow 🤩

Same.👍🏽 From California ,I’m thankful for @piperformissouri.bsky.social .❤️ #RESIST🇺🇸

Ive lived in red states before I relocated to California. It’s 100% like this. Even before the orange Mussolini.

Gotta love instant karma. I'm in Indiana and ours have been safe and Growing. The last one had 1 maga flag guy, he was polite, said bless y'all and got out fast

✨️🗽🗣🗳⚖️🫂⚖️🗳🗣🗽✨️ thank u 4 ur time & bravery 2 show love 4 🇺🇸 comes in different attitudes of what a few may not agree with As this is home of the free🗽and land of the brave 🗣 My energy of love walks with you as you show anything worth having is worth standing up for Be blessed stay safe and strong 💯🗽💯

youtube.com/shorts/twy6i... In the day in the 60s, there was no police protection and sad it was the police who were doing harm to the protester then fast forward 2025 so glad you have a guardian angel at your side and the silence of complicity is no longer so loud and so deafening 🫷🏻🥳🫴🏾❤️🗣🗽🫱🏻‍🫲🏿✨️🎯⚖️🤔🇺🇸

I've done my fair share of protesting in Arkansas. Been spat upon, my husband was assaulted. Cops stepped in and stopped it (this was 2003). Interesting that now we are getting a lot of honks and thumbs up as we protest.

I’m glad I bring you reassurance. I take solace in knowing that liberals are still using me for my intended purpose. Otherwise I think I’d chop my own thumb off.

Rolling coal is a serious threat - it's easy to lose control of a big truck doing that www.bikelaw.com/2021/10/wall...

Jess you are just sunshine. Thank you for your strength, moral compass and courage. When today feels so sad, your optimism shines brightly. 💗💙🦋

I usually reply with "Bless your heart"

This is courage

Hats off to you brave lady & your friends. 👍👍👍

You are brave! I appreciate your fearlessness. It’s what we need. Thank you!

I absolutely adore you and your energy. You're one person I'd like to see in person speaking the truth and rabble rousing the natives. You sure do make a lot of trouble - Good Trouble! Keep it up and be safe. Glad local police did more than stand and watch

Thank you to every one of you who goes out in these kinds of circumstance. 💙🙏 We need everyone's bravery right now.

You go girl!!!

Thank you

You go Girl!

Omg, thx God you are safe ..love you Jess my sweetheart 💓

It is so easy in Oregon. So much respect for you and yours.

Thanks Jess

Thank you for standing up and out in a red state!!!

I deeply appreciate what you and others are doing in Red States. Thank you. I’m a blue dot in a sea of blue and it’s easy to find people who agree with me. You guys are the real heroes. I’m glad you are there.

Ditto! Thank you, Jess, for being out there! We need more and more people to get involved in showing the Fascists that taking over the country ain't gonna be easy 👍🏽👊🏽💙

Be Safe - WE NEED YOU!

They did the same thing when we protested the Iraq War.....you should have seen the look on their faces when they figured out i was vet. They swerved cars at us coming out of a Dick Cheney speech. This country has had a rightwing terrorism problem for a long time that's not being dealt with.

Hear, hear! During “No Kings” there were many protests in the suburbs / exurbs of Houston. Definitely same rolling coal, insults, online threats, etc. I too work w police when arranging protests. Get them on our side before the nasty starts.

One of our early protests - in deep red, rural Fulshear - even caused @betoorourke.bsky.social and Tim Walz to hold an empty chair town hall here! bsky.app/profile/kafk...

Thank you for standing up and fighting for our democracy in the face of threats of violence. You are a true patriot! I’m glad you’re safe.

Queen!

Thank you for your bravery and showing up to take a stand against the madness that is all things Trump.

@piperformissouri.bsky.social you are a shero in a time when the nation needs women and men who are brave enough to stand on sidewalks, speak the truth, ignore the taunts and threats. And if elected to Congress, brave enough to vote no when they know in their hearts it is the right thing to do.

👏🏻

Respect!

Thank you x a million from someone in a solid blue state. The crazy plus cruelty knows no bounds. My trumpy neighbors are loud, hostile, ignorant & vicious & flaunt their guns. I think you’re really beautifully brave to stand up so fiercely.

I am in deep blue Connecticut and I have gone to 3 protests. All of them I got fingers and whiney little bitches crying some crap out of the window. In the last one, 2 douches in a Nissan maroon truck kept coming around the roundabout where we were protesting and yelling at us. Cops came eventually.

The hard work of supporting freedom in the face of terrorists

Don't give up. Stand your ground. We are all in this together. There are more of us than there are of them. GOOD TROUBLE!

One of the high priorities of our #nonviolent #resistance should be to isolate the authoritarians, and to divide them from each other and from their closest allies and followers. We need to undermine their solidarity and their pillars of support. Let's plan our #goodtrouble with that in mind!

#goodtrouble commonslibrary.org/pillars-of-p...

Thank you to all y’all!

And they're the ones who will get hurt by Trumps policies the most.

THANK YOU for speaking about this!!! People really don't understand what it's like to live in a red state and still fight for human decency. St. Joseph, MO is a microcosm of of the US. Town is literally divided into 'haves' and 'have-nots' with a collapsed urban core, & no federal or state help 😟

We had Palm Bay, FL police watching over us as well. I am grateful they were there as well! I am so glad you were all safe—protesting in a red state is scary…

I'm so glad you were safe.

It was amazingly peaceful, as it always is. Today, my hero happened to be a fellow protestor. A car pulled alongside me & started spewing magat crap. I yelled back, but this man…SCREAMED just SCREAMED at him. Shut his ass up real quick… The cops were talking to us, we even gave them water & snacks

Yeah, I've been wondering where the cops are they just abdicated their responsibility to some fucking cosplay militance. Sounds like you guys got lucky at least they're halfway paying attention at Saint Joe.

Thank you brave woman! America needs 300,000,000 of you.

Amen, sister!!

Fucking rednecks. Hate trumptards

Bless you.

Keep up the momentum. I'm very proud of you.

#JessPiper can trounce #JoshHawley for #Senate. Run Jess run!

Well done Jess! Truly putting yourself out there awesome work!❤️💙👍🇨🇦

Gotta love karma!

Good on you, Jess!

Keep it up

❤️❤️❤️

🦋Thank you Jess for what you do...here in Red Idaho it can get bad in certain areas but as a rule it's civilized when we protest....

Protest is resistance! Do obey in advance!

Watched a maga get arrested in Arizona for assaulting and elderly woman and man for protesting. Cowards

I live in Eastern WA & lots of obscenities yelled or fingered @ protesters with an occasional gun flash! It’s an Ag city so lots of migrant families. When will POC or Citizens start fighting back against the renta ICE? Theres more of us than them?!?! If picked up,it’s a death sentence anyways!!!

Red state protester here.

Thank you Jess for holding the line!! You are the definition of good people in bad times.

Your bravery is inspiring.

Please watch your 6, you Beautiful Soul you! These ppl put no value on human life! BTW, greetings from St. Chuckles, the struggle is all too real here in Misery.😘

Vacationing in NewPort Oregon, and I did the protest here, we had one act like he was swerving to us, he almost hit the next car. ., but we had many, many honk and wave.

Nice!

I love what you're doing and think you're amazingly brave. What is so sickening is the way conservatives and Republicans have treated everyone not on their side of the political spectrum for decades and it is rapidly devolving into violence. These people are domestic terrorists, full stop.

The bigger the truck the smaller the... Ummm... Let's just feel sorry for their partners.

And hope they can't propagate.

Oklahoma protester here and yes this is all so true. I admit it’s never 100% safe to protest anywhere anymore but being 1 in 50 or 1 in 100 or even 1 in 1000 is a lot more dangerous than being 1 in 1,000,000. I’m so proud of the Blue Dots 🔵 Together united we’ll never be defeated!

👏💯👍💙

St.Joe Missouri right?

Thank you

Great pic, Jess.

Make good trouble 😊

As I live in Chattanooga Tennessee, I totally get it!

All those misbehaviors are on a continuum of violence. Maybe you don’t care about threats, but I do. I worry about people’s safety all the time.

You go Jess!

Thank you!!!!! 💙🇺🇸💙

Thank you

Thank you for standing up in a red state. I too live in a red state and have been to multiple protest and have had similar experiences, the Trump trucks revving their engines passing by over and over again, people yelling at us and it’s frightening.

I would file a charge against people spat at you... That's assault

Be safe. Thank you for standing up!

Me 2

You are amazing!!

TRUTH

You Rock Jess. ❤️‍🔥

Same here in Iowa. Small group on the street heading to the state fairgrounds on 7/3 before Trump came to a rally. A few trucks rolling coal, few motorcycles and muscle cars revving their engines, lots of birds and FUs. But we also got lots of cheers and thumbs up!

I’m fighting back! I’m part of the resistance!

Thank you 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸!!!

Happy Independance Day from a Canuck friend.

Thank you for your amazing courage! This is how we win! We will not be like the 1930s Germany and just let it happen.

Thanks for your courage, red staters. We have our share of MAGA nuts in my blue state but I know there's no comparison.

We do it anyway. We don’t give up and leave our homes. We stay and we fight however we can. It’s what we all must do.

I think it's important to protest even more so if you are Blue dot so the other Blue dots know they are never alone. 💙

👊🏻

You have my utmost respect and admiration for your bravery and commitment! ✊

Thank you, Jess, for risking your LIFE every damn day for ALL of us! YOU are NOT ALONE! When this HELLFIRE STORM ends, the remains of OUR Nation will need YOU, and others LIKE You to help guide US into becoming the FUTURE FREE America🇺🇸! But now, WE FIGHT like hell!

Hi

God bless you as your country is on the edge of the collapse of democracy

Thank you!!

Protesting for what?

Thank you, Jess. Please stay safe. 💙

Bless you; stay safe.

Stay safe. Makes me sad to see Mo (& US in general) like this.

🇺🇸💙

Thank you for sharing your lived experience. Brava! Bravo! To your crew

You are one brave woman. Keep up the good work.

👏👏👏💜💜💜

💪 🫂

1. We got rollin coal'ed (is that a verb now?) in a *BLUE* state because we are in a RED small town/county. 2. I think anyone who does that at peaceful demonstrators (most of whom were old women) should be CHARGED with assault by vehicle. 3. Thankful for your police doing the right thing.

Thank you! I’m in a purple state. The last time I was out, No Kings, I was shocked at how much support there was. It was right after the ICE raids in CA. Only one obnoxious anti protestor that I saw. Eh whatev’s. Stay safe. We need you, but most importantly, your family needs you! F/O- 47!!!

I think them all for standing up. We are a lot stronger than we think we are, we have the numbers and we don't have to do the violence we just have to stand up and say no to the insanity

Thanks to you and other brave patriots exercising your rights to protest this inhumane regime. #Miz

Way to go!

Thank you for taking the risk!

Thank you! Be careful! But keep up the protesting. It’s WE THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE POWER NOT THE PEOPLE IN POWER. I’m in a blue state but stuff happens here also
