We are literally becoming a police and military state under this administration, when chalk at a memorial is treated like a crime, it’s not about “safety.” It’s about this administration having complete control on the American people.

Every city in America should now paint/chalk or inlay a rainbow crosswalk as a memorial and act of unified solidarity. Take it to your city council people

Sorry, but not here. This is a fascist stronghold. There's no way in hell an 80% red town in an 80% red county would approve anything like that.

I hope people keep coloring the sidewalks and crosswalks until it is just too expensive to keep patrolling them. I want to hear about masked teams with paint rollers screeching up in unmarked vans, jumping out and painting, and screeching off into the night.

People should start chalking crosswalks all over the area. Move around. Draw the one’s watching that walk all over the place.

Exactly! And maybe - not just crosswalks, maybe telephone poles, traffic light poles, if I owned a business or building nearby I think I'd get a big rainbow awning.

Then how about the state placing a memorial at the intersection on one corner so that it does not interfere with crosswalks or signals or traffic; just a memorial for those who died. Nothing illegal about that if the space is city owned.

They can try, but they absolutely cannot stop the neighborhood community from repainting the #PulseNightclub crosswalk memorial. Even 24/7 patrols don't last forever. If they remove it, civilians will keep repainting it eventually. Full Stop. It's necessary #CivilDisobednience and #GoodTrouble.

The crosswalk looks so pretty as a rainbow. It’s also a lovely tribute to lives that were cruelly cut short. Why the fuck can’t folks just admire the beauty of the rainbow rather than waste time and $ policing a crime where there isn’t one.

I would say that the country is run by fascists but plenty of us are fighting back. For one good example; the brave folks that risk arrest every time they restore the rainbow. No, we’re not a fascist country yet and we will never be as long as we stand our ground. I will stand my ground until death!

At what point do 'the people' withdraw any respect and co-operation with the police, border security, ICE and the military ? Alongside the authoritarian horrors, all this makes the USA look utterly pathetic and unreliable on almost every level and function.

We need to normalize the idea of getting arrested for fighting injustice. Most cases are just going to be dropped. We need to be making the regime waste their money and people on efforts like chalk drawing control. There are much worse they could be doing.
