4. I think you have to post it on a photo hosting site first

There is no way to upload photos directly here except for your profile pick as far as I know, and even that I found almost impossible to do…it has to be done on a laptop. It’s very hard to get your picture to be the right size. It kept rejecting my numerous times.

8. Roger this!

I know what you mean about trying to get a profile picture uploadedl There's a strict limit on the file size that makes it really tricky. I've done it multiple times now, and each time is a new adventure!

Fortunately, posting pics from a photo hosting site is a walk in the park by comparison. I recommend postimages.org. It's free and very easy to use once you learn a few simple steps.

9. Thanks 😀

I will not be changing my profile pic because I don’t wanna lose this one and have to do that all over again. It’s a picture of me and my father many years ago.

7. What about Dearborn and Hamtramck?

Two cities that tipped Michigan to Trump. I wonder if there were any protests there, do you know?

Great turnout!

11. I'm in the same situation as you. I am in Key Largo

We had a very, very great turnout, with a band, music, several speakers, a nice man running for Office, more people than I’ve ever seen at a protest in Key Largo, old, young, dogs, cats, lots and lots of people, honking cars. And I got tons of pictures, but unfortunately, I have no luck posting them on DU. I have no problem posting on any other site, but DU seems to make it difficult. But anyway, it was very inspirational and we had the best day.

15. It far exceeded my expectations. What a wonderful turnout!

Everyone driving by was honking, including the bus drivers.

Here is a post I found on Bluesky that shows the beginning of the march in front of the DIA:

The Detroit Hands Off protest today stretched for miles, it was so powerful when we all realized that we were seeing the front of the protest looping back on the opposite side of the street when were 1.5 miles from the end. Glad a friend got video on her way to work, it really shows the scale.
