My Public Archive of Protest Signs

Formerly just
#TeslaTakedown protest
signs, this post is now more general — protest signs against the growing authoritarianism that Donald Trump is trying to normalize.
For all except the two at the bottom, I’ve included a link where you can download a PDF to print your own.
Please use these if you’d like; if you want to give me something in exchange, just tag me on
Mastodon
or
Bluesky
so I know how far these have spread.
Also, Marc Lee from
Free Protest Signs
reached out on Bluesky to let me know about his website of signs.
If you don’t like something below, maybe one of his will suit your mood!

The Daily
from the New York Times and shouted out, «that’s my sign!»

It is bullying foreign leaders in the Oval Office?
It is recklessly dismantling medical research, food safety programs, and environmental controls?
This doesn’t represent my values, nor—I’d wager—the values of most of the country.
The focus group (my family members) weren’t a fan of the unnecessary c…
